I fixed the OP. I was in a hurry this morning and the stupid internet was down so I had to rig my phone and post this thread in the 3 mins I had to spare. 😳

As far as you are concerned, T9D, arguing over food is an American tradition. Why do you hate America?

I liked that. Thanks for posting.
 
I don't like any of the dessert coffee drinks. On rare occasions I'll add sugar and/or soy milk to my coffee, but 95% of the time I'm drinking unsweetened black coffee. I do like some sugary drinks like iced tea, energy drinks, or soda, but the Starbucks type drinks are way too sweet for coffee. I figure the truth is that most people who buy these drinks don't actually like coffee, they like sugar and cream with the lightest hint of coffee blend, which really doesn't taste anything like coffee.

Anyone who drinks single origin coffee knows what I'm taking about.

Not trying to be a snob about it. I do like some fast food coffee for the price, but Burger King is very mediocre. Better than some gas station coffee, but worse than McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, or Tim Hortons. If I wanted a sugary coffee concoction, I would try any of the other places first.

EDIT: I do like Coffee Coolata from Dunkin' Donuts on a very hot and exhausting day

water down as in, reduce intensity.

Coffee with cream and sugar is much lighter/less intense of a flavor, thus watered down. It is not as tasty as black coffee, however, it is still ok. The best "watered down" coffee tends to be cafe-aue-leit or cuban cafe con leche.

Onions have a sharp/intense flavor profile. They are essentially a spice. When you take them off of the burger, then you have a much weaker flavored meat and bun. It is true that pickle, mustard, peppers, and other things can try to make up for it. But, the onion is the absolute most important condiment except for possibly cheese and bacon, which are indeed mandatory.

Also, I am not a food snob. I am just an asshole. 🙂

Get out of here with your shit-covered burgers.

Perhaps it's because I am extremely picky, but don't even THINK of putting any kind of garden item on my burgers (except for ketchup, which is obviously not THAT much like a tomato once it's been processed to high hell and back).
I want dead cow, cooked please, in-between two buns, and perhaps some good cheese, ketchup and mayo at most.

Everything else is covering up the whole point of the burger, imho. A good burger shouldn't be dressed up and have its flavor masked and confused.
😉

But, I do hate lettuce, fresh tomatoes, whole/diced onions, pickles, and all that other shit people like to put on their sandwiches of various types.
I want more dead animal in my sandwich, not half of it filled with wasted space.

you are insane.


for one thing--a burger demands mustard.

ketchup? of all things? you concede the absolute worst idea of a condiment? sorry man--i always figured you for an adult, lest i assumed your tastebuds had developed beyond ketchup stage. ...it's sugar. that's it. there is no reason to put that on anything. ever. certainly not fries--it masks potato goodness. fucking ketchup. people should be shot in the streets for eating this stuff.


so, following that---no onions, no pickles...no fucking tomatoes? have you gone daft?

i'll grant that a true hamburger patty, from it's origin, belongs between two slices of white bread, equally toasted, with, perhaps, mustard and maybe cheese for the adventurous. ...but no one really eats a modern burger that way. give me the rabbit food. it really doesn't detract from dead cow taste--but it adds texture, and the fleeting assumption that aren't eating all that unhealthy.

I bet your shits are like forcing a tennis ball through a garden hose.

Too much onion taste can screw up a burger. That's why White Castle sucks on a scale only measureable in space.

I disagree.

No, wait, I strenously disagree with your statement.

I would be perfectly happy eating an onion sandwich with a little bit of burger as a garnish. The only caveat is, the onion must not be cooked. It must be crunchy and not greasy.

So fresh vegetables render a burger "shit covered", meanwhile the burger purist uses ketchup, & mayo?! That doesn't similarly "mask & confuse the flavor" to you?

See, I'm not one to get into the topping/food preference wars, because preferences vary & there is no right or wrong imo. To each his own. But I can look at a set of someone's classifications & try to balance their consistency, & I found that one particularly interesting (not judging, not all my preferences are consistent either). Always very strong opinions when it comes to this stuff. I actually like them all different ways. I can live with or without veggies, cheese, thick specialty burgers or thin patties, fresh onions or sauteed if saucy/cheesy etc.

My favorite is a straight hamburger, large & thin patty, little wider than a wide & not too thick bun, with lettuce, thin tomato, onions, pickles, & mustard on a lightly pan toasted unbuttered bun. One of my favorite breakfasts, it's somehow one of the only lunch/dinner foods I can think of that I can have with black coffee in the morning. Don't know why that is.

Wah????

Have you ever been to South Carolina?
The BBQ there is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

By far the best BBQ I've had is the Carolina style mustard stuff.. it is just epic!.

I'm from North Carolina. This is how I know that South Carolina and their "style" is an offense to BBQ. I have family in SC.

these people are sick puppies.


and yes, it's a long-standing SC vs NC thing (hell, in NC, there's a bitter battle between eastern and western styles). be careful where you tread 😀

NC has Asheville & Mountains, SC has it's BBQ, each has their own good things 🙂
 
Frappes are the bane of my existence. I could probably drink them nonstop until I fell over dead from diebeetus.

pfft. our BBQ trumps that abomination south of the border. ...and if all you know about NC BBQ is the stuff from Asheville and the mountains, then all you know is that western commie horseshit that belongs somewhere on the level of SC BBQ.


Eastern NC BBQ or GTFO. :colbert:

besides, the mountains is where old people go to die. What you want is the Atlantic coast when you are in the southeast.
 
I wish burger King tasted better. A nice renovated BK with some new coffee offerings and less greasy burgers would be a great fast food chain. Sadly it isn't ever this way. They are all 30-40 years old, inconsistent, not very busy, so the food sometimes sits around, etc. I would love a popular, busy new BK though.

They dropped the ball somehow but I still like BK, they could be much better.

The one I go to is 90 days old and the onionless Whoppers are grilled, not greasy! :colbert:
