Which burger would you prefer?-Cultural differences?

[Stopshoutingtv]

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?

It’s a kind of bread.

My favorite burger is at a local place. The burger, ketchup, Dijon mustard, lettuce, tomato, grilled pineapple, sliced jalapeños, bacon, and provolone cheese. Comes with house made crisps or chips. Heavenly.

Indonesia? Singapore? Malaysia? Thailand?

None of those 😬

Sorry if it’s becoming tedious, please can someone just guess and guess correctly 🤣

I have tooth ache and I regret reading this. Someone make a thread please, where the answer is given and just that.
It’s not even greatly interesting, but I’m in pain,and nothing is easing it, and I should at least find out.

Is it one of these?

If yes, which one?

@Persephonia1966😂

Albania?

I still serve it without a bun and with homemade chips and peas for a midweek dinner. Honestly seems more healthy that with white ultra-processed bread.

I think we eat in quite an old fashioned way from comments here. When and why did everyone change from potatoes and steamed veg plus something else as the basis for most meals? We have probably at least four meals a week like this. There's a rhythm and not having to think about it and you know that fibre and vitamins are being eaten and crap minimised. Plus the slight tedium of it means that you are less likely to overeat.

I guess I assumed everyone else just plods on with what they know for the everyday. I can't imagine having the brain capacity to change it.

Romania

I was super confused when I first ordered a hamburger in Japan and it came with rice and a sauce - no bun, no salad etc. Over the years I've really come to like them that way and it makes me a bit sad how common American style burgers are in Japan now. Anyway, I often have hamburgers with no bun and maybe some veggies on the side but that's because I try to keep carbs to a minimum for my weight.

Romanians like to put tomato ketchup on their pizza. Maybe they eat their burgers in a strange way as well?!

Potatoes have gone up in price recently. They used to be cheaper than pasta or rice but not so much anymore. Maybe that explains the shift a bit? I like and eat potatoes but my "quick and cheap" meal is pasta pesto as it's cheapest.

Australia 🇦🇺?

HRTFT Russia or Hungary.

Seriously? It’s 4am here in the UK, I’m not sleeping well, and the OP went to bed without telling us? I Googled the answer which came up as France, which has been declined by the OP already.

I won’t get back to sleep now for thinking about this.

The term you're looking for is 'burger bun'.

Mil served us naked hamburger patties without buns or anything but garden salad and crisps first time I ate dinner there. (She tried to make a child friendly meal for my 7 yr old.)
Scotland

Beyond irritating now 😁 and basically daft.

Albania?

I guess Russia.

The classic where I'm from is a beef patty with a bun, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, tomato sauce, a fried egg, and a slice of tinned beetroot.

America? Unexpected but possible

And the chips would probably be crinkle cut. I blame Ben

Oh and on the linguistics of bun / bap / barm etc A hamburger is a burger in a bun /barm/ bap etc.

Russia? Except I'd imagine there aren't that many Brits living in Russia at the moment. So maybe another once-Soviet state?

Don't you mean a breadcake?
