A dinner one

Lighthearted, before anyone gets upset- he’s a grown man and can eat what he wants.

I made (beef) burgers for dinner. Along with the burger, I melted cheese on top (those M&S cheese melts for burgers- mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and red Leicester, I think) and toasted buns, plus I made a burger sauce for anyone who wanted it (mayo, ketchup, mustard mixed together).

After that, it was self assembly and we had lots in the fridge/pantry.

My burger looked like this-
Top bun
Cheese melt
Burger patty
Rocket
Burger sauce
Bottom bun

My husband, on the other hand, assembled this monstrosity-
Top bun
Fried egg

Caramelised onion relish
Cheese melt
Hot sauce
Burger patty
Tomato
Mayo
Onion
BBQ sauce
Rocket
Hash brown
Feta cheese
Pickles
Burger sauce
Bottom bun

He thinks my burger was boring. I think mine was classic and he couldn’t even taste all the elements of his concoction.

What say you, Mumsnet jury? 👩‍⚖️

IABU- I like big, stuffed, buns and I cannot lie
IANBU- Less is most definitely more when it comes to all things burger.

Definitely less is more, but you’re both BU by putting rocket on it 🤮

Muckypig · 17/03/2026 20:53

I couldn't be bothered to read all of those ingredients let alone eat it.

Rocket on a burger??!

I mean, just no.

Please please have a long hard look at yourselves.

youalright · 17/03/2026 21:52

I either go for fried onions and ketchup or salad and mayo.

youalright · 17/03/2026 21:55

Im not sure why everyone is surprised at rocket. Burger king use rocket in a lot of their burgers it really works

His choice of filling is only slightly more odd than you not "reading" the burger the right way round. Bottom up surely?!

I initially agreed with you but then I realised that the vertical list in this direction is essentially a diagrammatic representation of the burger. And Mumsnet loves a diagram.
