I rather have my foot amputated.

OUCH

Talk about burgers back around 1955 we had true burgers.

Firstly a large bun lightly toasted and buttered, and a larger than bun grilled minced meat

Nearly forgot the grilled onion, thats a must

Oops forgot the grilled pineapple ring

 

 

 

Pickles spread over ,then [censored] lettuce (for the rabbits).

And you cant have a true burger with out beetroot (how else can you say you had a burger without the purple stain).

 Now the egg normally had a bit of run about it and can join the beetroot.

And to top it off, tommy sauce offered and helps with the beetroot, egg effect

I'd go for @Whispering_Jack 's choice because it includes beetroot .

How [censored] weak is a burger without beetroot ?

Correct. Nothing better than a roo burger with beetroot,onion and egg.

I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger today 

I remember visiting WImply Burger in London in the mid 1970’s. I’m surprised to see that they still exist… according to Google, my nearest store is in Sth Africa, apparently!

The only vegetables to go near a burger are tomatoes, onions, bacon, cheese and maybe a pickle or two for the soft hearted and then some more bacon.

No lettuce??  

Pickles on a burger are just wrong! 
Bbq sauce on a burger is just wrong! 
Mayonnaise on a burger is just wrong! 
Mustard on a burger is just wrong!

Now let’s get on to the Potato Scallop vs Potato Cake vs Potato Fritter debate!!

In my defence I did say pickles were for the soft.

You’re forgiven I’ve always considered pickles an American affectation.

You once rightly scolded be for drinking Chardonnay so....

I hope that settles things.

Beetroot .Sheesh. Next thing you know, you'll probably be trying to sneak in some lettuce. 

I might allow an egg if I'm feeling a little saucy . Oh and that too but only tomato. Rack off  overseas with your mustards and French Mayos. This is Oz.

Here endeth the lesson.

 

Well I must say deever,  I expected a somewhat more woke response from you than, "more bacon" !

More disappointing though is the unpatriotic nature of your attack on the humble beetroot !

Now my reasoning for this charge is difficult to explain on this forum as the immoderators and myself have frequently differed in view as to what constitutes appropriate content.

However, I once read a learned article ,wherein the author argued that the beetroot should be awarded the honour of being named Australia's national vegetable.

Let me just say that his arguments were all to be found in the name.

Grill'd have very questionable ethics. Offer trainee wages and get taxpayer subsidies for it. I refuse to eat anywhere that does'nt pay their employees a fair wage, and then they still charge $17 a burger!

Dead right mate. I won’t go near those joints. 
I questioned a manager on Glenhuntly Road about 7 years ago about wages at grill’d and he wouldn’t say a word. 

Somewhat disappointed that this thread was not about Whispering Jack changing this first name to Hungry as some sort of sponsorship deal for the club.
