How do you like your Burger?

TastyReuben said:
To get the bigger plate, you have to get the bigger burger - that was the medium burger (1/2-pound) - that pic is deceptive, too. There was a huge load of fries under there, easily enough for two, or even three, people.

This is the small burger, it comes in a basket:

The large burger is a full pound, with a commensurate amount of fries. A few usually come out of the kitchen while we’re sitting there, and I love how huge they are, but I’d never get one. I always get the small one. I’ve eaten the medium one before, but I was younger then and could handle it. Not so much now. I’d likely get up from the table and collapse.

Those look like mushrooms.

Nah, more like free form hushpuppies to me, but I think he wrote what they were earlier.

I only saw him mention French fries, but hush puppies aren't a common side dish up here in the Midwest, even with seafood.

That would be a huge helping of hush puppies...maybe they're cheese curds.

Didn't I see a bunch of fried mushrooms on a plate of your food recently?

No, unless it was a plate of MrsT’s. I don’t like mushrooms, though I will eat a small amount if I have to.

ETA: nope he didn't. Maybe fried cheese?

Let’s do this like one of those bar trivia games:

What’s in that basket with the burger?
A. Fried mushrooms
B. Fried cheese curds
C. Hushpuppies
D. Something else

Certainly no “room” for one of those answers…
.
.
.
No “cheese,” please…
.
.
.
Those “puppies” are barking up the wrong tree…

Something tells me I’m into “something else…”

Fried cauliflower, and it was MrsT’s
 
If I’m making burgers at home I don’t put any toppings on them. Let the meat and cooking make the flavor. Occasionally I will add ketchup, mayo, mustard, pickles. Never cheese. Cheese on a burger just turns me off. But I did have a burger when I was traveling that had goat cheese on it and I did like that. Even though I asked for no cheese.
 
Cheese (depends what’s on hand), onions (raw or fried), pickle chips, ketchup. On a round roll with some body and flavor if possible (sometimes browned in the pan drippings). I only eat those tasteless, air “buns” that fall apart and make a sloppy mess if I have no choice.
BTW, I use those hamburger “buns” when I make sloppy Joe’s. But I eat them open faced with a knife and fork.
 
First burgers I ever remember (in Maidstone, 1960s) were Wimpy Burgers.
They were foul, like a piece of shoe leather. No McDs in the UK until 1974 - Woolwich, South London.
Then when I was in Uni in London, the very first Hard Rock Café opened in Piccadilli (St) near Hyde Park.
A juicy, thick, freshly grilled burger on a bun with "French Fries" (had no idea what they were :laugh: :laugh: ), and always accompanied by a little tray of ketchup, American mustard, raw onions and ( if I remember rightly) cucumber relish. That was my Burger Formation.
Fast forward to the USA - a 25 day tour in October 74. Burgers everywhere - and that's where Dill Pickles and Swiss Cheese were added to the list, but still basically the same thing. I do vaguely remember a burger in Brunswick, NJ ( I remember because the place had a 30 ft long grill behind the counter, and there were 50 of us) which was stuffed with Swiss cheese and slathered with mushrooms.

Can't blame you. Everyone knows the stuff should not be pulverized and it goes on top of that patty. Sounds like a horrendous version of a juicy lucy.
