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?

I don't mind either tbh. We had grilled burgers with pasta or green beans as kids, so I'm going to guess"France". And I haven't looked at the comments yet so we'll see.

Spain or Portugal?

😂

In reality I would probably choose the burger minus bap and wedges for health reasons, but if I were throwing caution to the winds I'd enjoy the one with the bap more!

I'm going to guess you are in Spain. My limited experience of Spanish food suggests they like meat more than bread and potatoes.

Because you mean 'bread cake'

😆

Has anyone guessed Sweden yet? They do eat normal burgers but they love some pasta too.

My mum had a cutter especially to make crinkle cut chips.
She probably still has it but doesn't do homemade chips anymore.
She also doesn't use the (terrifying to me) deep fat fryer which made the chips delicious.
Oven chips are just not as good 🙁

A Northern word for a bun. That or bread cake. Which is used for a roll.

I was born in England I am now in my late 60s but when I was a child if we had burgers it was always without a bread. Even cafes would serve burgers , chips and beans without a bun
I think the addition of a bun to make it a hamburger was something that came from the USA.
Re the country you are in perhaps France?

When I was in Montenegro I was very upset to have ordered a burger and receive just a burger, no bun gherkin or sauce 🤣 So that’s my guess

Just to throw a spanner in the works I’d say burger bun!!

I've just seen it's not France in that case Germany

I'm a 100% barm person, but surely it's a burger bun??

Now, if it had been fried chicken instead of a burger, then option B would have put me in mind of Jollibee and I'd have said the Philippines.

Why is OP asking us to guess which country they're in ?

Option A is a normal BBQ one, Option B is unusual but nothing extreme , so it could be one of many countries. What's the point of knowing ?

Option A, as long as it’s not a brioche bun.

Australia or US

I like a Royale....with Cheese....🤣

Or Belgium?

When I was growing up my mum served burgers with mashed potatoes and veg. Burgers in buns were for bbq's and eating out. I see some others here had similar mums!

I would choose Option A.

I've already said all the caveats about this but yeah totally agree.

I too am old enough to remember plain patties with no bun etc but usually it would be with chips not pasta. Or maybe potatoes and veg.

I can't get my head around this combo. It sounds really awful.

Pasta with a meat pattie.

Just doesn't go at all. Rice sounds vaguely better but only just.

My mum used to batter the burgers before frying them 🤣
She would serve them with chips though.

Growing up, we often had burgers with mash, vegetables and gravy and no bun. We also had burger, chips and beans without a bun.

I have never had option B. If i was invited for burgers I would expect option A.

My eyes have been opened- I’ve never even considered a burger without its bun (or bap, or whatever you want to call it).

If the burger and pasta also came with a herby tomato sauce that would be fine (no different to meat balls) but I wouldn’t want it without the sauce, just burger and pasta sounds very dry. And I also wouldn’t call that “having a burger” I’d call it a pasta dish.

We had a crinkle cutter mum got it from.a market stall that was demonstrating them, she definitely still has it along with her microwave egg "boiler"
