Option A: Bbq burger on a burger bap with cheese, ketchup, salad, wedges and corn on the cob

Option B: Grilled burger (no bap etc) with plain pasta and salt

We had Dds friend over for lunch after Dd asked her if she wanted to come for burgers and toasted marshmallows. She was quite confused about the burger as has it like option B at home, aside from at McDonald’s.

Which burger do you prefer and can anyone guess which country we’re in?

Salt really brings out the flavour of tomatoes though. I don’t put it on my kids’ but just a little makes a good vine tomato even more delicious.

Burger with pasta is unusual, but if I’m having a burger at a restaurant, I usually leave the bun- bun plus chips is too filling. I don’t rate burgers in general though; hardly ever fancy one.

Steak haché is usually served without a bun in France. Sometimes an egg on top.

In a salad?’ Never!

I am on diet, but recently I had a burger with a massive amount home made coleslaw (shredded red/white cabbage, red onion, carrot) with burger sauce and a few chips. It was really nice.

In the 70s when Birds Eye Beef Burgers first became popular I remember having them with chips and baked beans. It seemed quite common in those days to not have them in a bun.

I think it was only when MacDonalds took off that Brits started serving them in a bun to mimic the takeaway experience.

Serving burgers with salted pasta though sounds weird and I don't think most people in Portugal have them like that- certainly not what I saw when I visited.

I agree, although we did have burgers in buns at Wimpy (miss wimpy) but at home it was with chips and beans.

@Stopshoutingtv I feel like that's the most controversial thing on this thread. What do you mean you don't season your salad? Ever? How about pepper?

No!

Yes true 🤣 but it terms of a burger, surely it has to be a burger bap, rather than burger roll? Doesn’t make sense

Burger bun actually

I think we used to have burgers with chips and beans too.

Yes, we would have them with baked beans if not with frozen peas.
