Hamburgers: Pickles or no Pickles

[MongGrel]

Not a fan of sweet pickles. Awhile ago I bought German made gherkins, and didn't read the ingredients as I normally would. Found out after trying them, they had sugar added. It wasn't a "sweet" pickle, but it had sweetness which I don't like at all. Afaic, Claussen is the gold standard for pickles.

It is hard to beat a Claussen, but Publix here carries Mt. Olive and they are pretty close I'd say and what the wife usually picks up.

pickle on the side, not in between my buns.

(Just like the first thursday of every month at the Elks club.)

If you're to fucking stupid to figure out the thread topic and poll then I can't help you. If you want it on the side then create said thread with pickles on the side as a poll option.

So the OP is back, and he's also a fighting man, over something important like pickles on a sandwich. You wouldn't be a self important Millennial by any chance? Yea, I thought so.

Comment removed,

There's a thread about that and this isn't it.

Pickles make the burger. The acidic vinegar flavor is a great offset of the sickly sweet ketchup.

Surprised that most posts are anti-pickle while the poll is overwhelmingly pro-pickle.

Which must explain why I don't eat ketchup slathered on any sandwich. Ketchup is mostly sugar or corn syrup to be more precise, and unless it has something else flavoring it to off set that "sickly sweet" taste, then a pile of sugar followed by vinegar clearly don't belong on a sandwich, hamburger, pita, whatever in the first place.

I Love good dill pickle but not on a burger; the majority of the posters polled they want the pickle but posted they want it on the side. Not enough options in the poll. I think you needed a least 'pickle on the side, not in the burger,' Of course as an old motorcycle racer my answer would have been:

I don't want a pickle; just want to ride on my motor-sickle.

Either is fine, but jalapeños are better.

I've had Burger King spicy burgers... They did not agree with me. I had to stop eating, open up the burger and rip out all the peppers more than once.

I used to hate pickles but now actually kind of like them.

If you're to fucking stupid to figure out the thread topic

Linux_Troll - If you title your poll different than the thread then posters will post both ways; several others posted a pickle with a hamburger is better than a pickle in a hamburger. I didn't even consider your poll was a trolling exercise; I pointed out that many posters like pickle with a hamburger at the same meal but not in the same mouthful. Your poll is flawed because you are a troll; I will reject you as a troll and not visit any thread started by you in the future.

Only on Anandtech would a discussion about pickles turn violent.


You people are sad.

depends entirely on the burger and the other components of said burger

 

[zinfamous]

depends on the burger, but I do like them.

but this is true no matter what burger:

sweet/relish pickles--hell no! (in fact, nuke this product from orbit entirely. whichever tasteless idiot decided to ruin pickled cucumbers in this way should be shot, as well as their decendents)

kosher/dill pickles: fuck yeah.

A hamburger is not a thing to be eaten... it is an ingredient an a food item known as a Cheeseburger. Yes, Cheeseburgers require dill pickle slices.

see, there's your problem. You shouldn't be putting that on a burger (or anything, really).

Problem solved!

 

[Iron Woode]

I like pickles on my burger.

if I have a pickle on the side it had better be a Kosher Full Sour. none of that vinegar crap.

 

[Cheesemoo]

Yes pickles.

But remove immediately.

Not the same without them but completely inedible.

Yep yep. got to have the flavor. not texture.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I like the pickles. On a truly great burger, I might eat the pickle after or before the burger.

White Castle the pickles and onions are super important, they give it a ton of character. Other places, the pickle is less crucial.

 

[Genx87]

I voted yes to pickles. But should add fast food pickles a big hell no!

 

[nakedfrog]

Love dill pickles, but not on my burger.

 

[MongGrel]

redacted, would be too obscure.

 

[OutHouse]

bread and butter, the only pickle that matters.

Frankly, the world, nay, the entire universe would be a better place if bread and butter pickles did not exist.

This man knows what he's talking about.
