1. gawd

i hate when people say..."my bad"

drives me nuts

[Bake]

2. It's true. White Castles are one of the four main food groups.

There is a minimum daily requirement and everything!

4. The four basic food groups

Cheeseburger, fries, coffee and donuts.

[old mark]

15. Thank you for having the courage to reveal the truth!

Beware the food nazis who may come after you.

3. Well , I have never had a White Castle burger.

Are those the little tiny burgers.

I rather have What-A-Burger.

[Bake]

5. You have missed on of life's simplest pleasures.

I don't know if they have WCs where you live, but if you get the chance, grab bag of sliders, belly bombs, greasy cheesies, etc. You'll love 'em!

6. We don't have White Castle in Houston.

I don't know how well little burgers would work with the natives.

How much do the little burgers cost.

[Bake]

7. Cheap. Maybe $0.69?

I buy them by the bagful when I get them (and sadly, we don't have them in MS so Ihave to get the frozen ones at the grocery store; they're good too!).

8. I see if I can find some in the store.

I will gave them a try.

[Bake]

9. Don't overcook them in the microwave; they'll be all hard.

Still good, but you want the bun to be soft and moist, so don't over do them.

Great with ketchup and brown mustard!

Bake

[texanwitch]

11. Thanks for the advice.

I am sure Krogers or HEB might have them, if not I will look at other stores.

22. Just so you know.

They are better if you steam them. Use whatever you steam your vegetables in, put them on a little foil and just add less water.

After one of Philboy’s recent posts regarding these delectable little burgers, Mr.Gut decided it was time to give the frozen ones a try (he used to live in Ohio).

So I used the steaming method and he said they turned out darn close to the ones straight from the drive thru.

[MassLiberal]

23. Steamed...YUM!

Just like the real thing!

[Bake]

25. Ooooh! Excellent idea!!!!

I ate a box of 'em (yes, a BOX but it was only six) last night from the microwave and they were just right. I leave them in the plastic sleeve, with one end open, and they don't dry out.

But I'll definitely try them in the steamer! How long do you steam them?

Bake

[siligut]

26. Once the steaming starts, less than 10 minutes.

Try just one first, then you will have an idea. It really didn't take long. We were experimenting, and have only done it once, but may have to do it again after this thread! Especially since they are so good for you and no animals were harmed in their making, from what I hear.

What we did. Make a small foil square to place the burger on, so the bottom bun doesn't stick to the steamer. Place the burger on it after the water starts to boil. Put the lid on and check after ~ 5 minutes, then go from there. Apply, ketchup and dill pickle slices to hot burger.

17. do you have Krystal down there yet? Infinitely better, IMHO

I'm so old I remember when the damn things were 15 cents

[texanwitch]

21. I don't know if we do.

They did have good burgers but that was a long time ago.

[Bake]

27. Bah! Krystals are but a poor imitation of The Great Slider!

But that's all we've got down here in Mississippi. Sigh.

Bake

[Skittles]

24. they'd work fine

Houstonions would simply order 15 of them

[Radical Activist]

10. But there isn't one in my town!

What will I do? Time to make a trip to Chicago or St. Louis.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. OMFG!!! I'M GONNA DIE!!!!

Haven't seen a slider, fresh or frozen, in months.

[yellowdogintexas]

19. same here, I can see myself conjuring up a reason to detour to North Beach St

(location of the only known Krystal in Fort Worth) for a dose of greasy little square burgers with steamed onions and pickles. Thursday, after my massage appointment, it will be right on the way home too.

[HereSince1628]

13. Sliders...the best alternative to a Vienna Red Hot known to man!

I love those little greasy morsels topped with dill slices.

[Initech]

14. Harold and Kumar certainly did.

Cant say the same for the rest of us, though! :puke:

[Elidor]

16. Great. Now I'm hungry for Krystal's

I foresee a sackful of gut bombs in my immediate future, even though I know better.

[harmonicon]

20. I have mixed feelings about this

I've always assumed that to be true, but I haven't had one in years, and maybe that's why I'm sad and in poor health... I can't even get the here :( not even the frozen ones
