What's Your Least Favorite Burger Topping/Condiment?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

The idea is lifted from the "A Hamburger Today" blog, but I figured you'd rather vote here than click a link and vote over there.

:toast:

[HopeHoops]

1. The actual hamburger patty.

I'll take a veggie burger or a grilled portabello cap instead, thanks.

[kentauros]

15. Either way (meat or veggie) it's no ketchup for me.

Never put ketchup on a meat patty when I still ate meat, and don't put it on the veggie patties now that I occasionally eat them.

Ketchup is for fries and onion rings only!!!1! ;)

[HopeHoops]

53. I like horseradish mustard on my veggie patties - wasabi mustard if I have it.

Now as for the "chik" patties, Bookbinder's tarter sauce is the best way to go. Their hot cocktail sauce is a good alternative.

[kentauros]

54. No horseradish for me either.

It's just a flavor I can't stand. I do like coarse-ground mustard with the bits of mustard seeds, though. That's pretty damn spicy, too :9

[HopeHoops]

55. Try Plochman's if you can find it.

They even make a yellow mustard that is good, and that's saying something! French's yellow mustard is partially dehydrated cow piss.

[kentauros]

57. I usually go with organic mustards and just the store brands.

A quick check shows I have Whole Foods Organic Yellow Mustard and Kroger Organic Dijon. I will buy the brand Veganaise though. It goes great on burgers, too :D

[HopeHoops]

58. I'm mostly a store brand guy, but some things just taste too good.

Melinda's habanero sauce, Bookbinder's anything sauce, Tabasco, Stubb's BBQ sauce, Plochman's mustard, hmm - I think I'm seeing a trend here.

But face it - oat rings are oat rings and corn flakes are corn flakes. The only difference is price and the General Mills, Post, or Kellog's cereal costs so much more because you're paying for the advertising when you buy it.

[TK421]

60. You must try this stuff...it is fucking awesome

[KamaAina]

2. Close, but I'd have to give the edge to mayo

I couldn't believe it when I first ordered a burger out here on the Left Coast and it came back with mayo on it! All my life back East, I had never heard nor dreamt of such a thing. :puke:

Dishonorable mention goes to mustard and cheese, also deal-breakers. And pickles? On the side, please.

[GoCubsGo]

5. Better than mayo on fries...

That's a European thing, and I just can't see it. I like my fries unadulterated. I don't mind a little bit of mayo on my burger. Unfortunately, most places put half the jar on one burger. A thin layer is adequate. I don't like cheese on my burger, either, unless I'm having a veggie burger. Mustard is okay, especially when it's a flavored type, like chipotle or habanero mustard.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. When I moved to California, I soon realized they put mayo on EVERYTHING

The only thing I really miss about Massachusetts is the food, and the weather / scenery in the month of October.

:toast:

[TZ]

74. Indeed

I've never seen anyone put Mayo on their burger..Yuck!!
How can you not like cheeseburgers though? :crazy:

[mockmonkey]

3. Red Onions

I like onions but this move to Red Onions at fast food places....:puke:

[Quantess]

49. Sandwiches of any kind are no good without red onions.

I heartily disagree with you!

[BOSSHOG]

4. Ketchup on fries, Mustard on Burgers

and onions, lots of onions and tomatoes and pickles and lettuce and lots of beer.

[KamaAina]

7. I actually learned how to relate ketchup to fries in NOLA

the same woman who introduced me to feminism down there also showed me how to make a little pool of ketchup on the side and dip the fries into it.

[BOSSHOG]

11. We went down last Saturday

to see the Christmas lights in the new Roosevelt on Canal. We ate at Crescent City Brewhouse and I had Crabcake, Potatoes Au Gratin and Veggies. Wow, what a great meal.

I like Horseradish or mustard on Fries as well. And lots of beer. Not on the fries, but in my tummy.

I might make it down for Mardi Gras depending on the weather. If the Saints win the SuperBowl the city will be insane the whole month of February. Mardi Gras on Steroids.

[sarge43]

8. Combining burgers and ketchup is the equivalent of

combining bourbon and water - abomination.

[BOSSHOG]

12. I don't get it Sarge

but to each his own. Keep dat Ketchup away from my Burger. I got Bobby Flays Burger cookbook for Christmas so I will be experimenting on the grill throughout the year. My wife just loves it when I experiment on the grill.

[yawnmaster]

14. doesn't that hurt??? eom

[BOSSHOG]

51. 50 somethings

can still get hot on occasion.

[cemaphonic]

9. Ketchup, Mayo, Mustard, and Pickles equally

[Skittles]

10. I absolutely detest ketchup

ruins the taste of anything it's on for me

[Arkansas Granny]

77. The only thing ketchup is good for, IMO, is to spread on meatloaf before baking.

[AsahinaKimi]

13. I eat Turkey Burgers over regular Hamburgers ..

And one of the places I like to go is Mel's drive-in in SF. They make a great turkey burger but some things should never go on them. For me, Mushrooms and Swiss cheese makes a grand turkey Burger! Leave off the Mustard!

[azmouse]

16. Pickles have no business in a sandwich of any kind.

yuck

[bigwillq]

17. Shoot, I thought it said "most" favorite.

:(
I voted for raw onion because that is my fave. Of those on that list, probably bacon.

[Demoiselle]

18. I'll eat anything on a hamburger, but..

the idea of ketchup on a hotdog makes me ill. And I love hotdogs.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Raw onion.

Ick. Yuk. Poo.

[Inspired]

41. +1,000,000

[AwakeAtLast]

52. Yup

Even if I did like it, it wouldn't like me.

[Quantess]

20. Mayonnaise.

The burger is greasy already, so what's the point of more grease?

I like everything else on a burger, except bacon. Also just more grease.

[baldguy]

21. Herring

Anchovies
Lutefisk

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. Mmmmm...gelatinous, lye-softened fish bones.

:puke:

[baldguy]

28. No preserved seafood goes well as an accompaniment to ground beef.

[phasma ex machina]

46. +1

:puke:

[KamaAina]

79. Where in the hell would you get a lutefisk burger?

Burger (Vi)King? :shrug:

[CreekDog]

23. Lettuce

totally pointless.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

24. The single most pointless burger in the history of McDonald's...

...the "McDLT."



The reason it died a quick and merciful death is that it took customers all of about five minutes to learn that the "cool" lettuce & tomato and "hot" burger were a LOT closer to "room temperature."

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

25. George Costanza was in commercials for the McDLT

Ahh. Summer of 1987. Brings back memories. :rofl:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

27. He was, and YouTube has proof:

:rofl:

[crim son]

26. Bring it on, all of it, and add a dollop of horseradish too, please. n/t

[Crabby Appleton]

29. I hate ketchup

on anything

[YankeyMCC]

30. Peanut Butter

ala Guber Burgers: http://www.weirdeats.com/2007/03/peanut_butter_h.html

[Amerigo Vespucci]

31. When I was a teenager my mom went through a very brief "creative cooking" phase

Very brief because my dad hated anything other than really basic stuff and was not an appreciative audience at all.

One of the things she made was a meatloaf stuffed with peanut butter. It tasted like...well, a meatloaf stuffed with peanut butter. Like a Bundt cake, except meat instead of cake, and peanut butter instead of the pudding center.

:spray:

She only made it once. She might have thrown out the leftovers...I don;pt remember eating them the next day.

I never felt compelled to seek out the recipe, even out of nostalgia.

:rofl:

[KamaAina]

80. That's the specialite de la maison at Yo Mama's in the French Quarter

didn't get it though.

Didn't get Erica the bartender, either. :(

[quakerboy]

32. MAYO, that evil breeding ground for all things that would kill me

that much I learned in MicroBio.

[Aristus]

33. Red Robin offers a burger topped with a fried egg...

That's just WRONG!... :puke:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

34. Loco Moco...the Hawaiian favorite.

Rice, burger, egg, gravy. Then dial 911.



:rofl:

[Common Sense Party]

71. It's wonderful. I used to eat burgers with eggs on top in Argentina

At first I thought it was weird, but it's actually very tasty.

[flvegan]

35. Picklehaters. n/t

[Clintonista2]

36. You people are insane...

No ketchup on a burger? You might as well not even have the burger!

[Common Sense Party]

72. I'd much rather have barbecue sauce.

[nickinSTL]

37. onions. of any kind.

not just on burgers, but on/in anything.

Don't get why people eat those things.

Of course, I don't like burgers all that much, anyway, but...I HATE onions.

[Inspired]

39. +1,000,000

[TK421]

61. Vile things...I can't stand them

You could put the tiniest piece of an onion in a large bowl of potato salad and I could taste it

the taste of them makes me wretch

[elshiva]

38. Onions.

They are hellfire on ulcers. :hurts:

[Inspired]

40. + another 1,000,000

[elshiva]

42. Before I had ulcers, I loved onions because they are so sweet.

Now they are just hell. Like holy water in "The Exorcist," "IT BURNSSSSS!"

[rrneck]

43. Mayo is evil. nt

[blogslut]

44. Tomatoes

I love tomatoes but I don't want them on my burger nor on my sammich - with the exception of my special roasted/toasted bread topped with sliced grape tomatoes and Bleu cheese.

[Common Sense Party]

73. I'm not a huge tomato fan, either...and the fast food tomatoes are awful

Completely devoid of any taste

[blogslut]

75. Ah, but I like tomatoes

Just not between pieces of bread - too wet.

[Common Sense Party]

76. I should have clarified.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes ON hamburgers.

I like tomatoes--I love a good tomato and onion salad.

But between pieces of bread--you don't like a good BLT? I LOVE a juicy garden-fresh tomato in a BLT in the summer.

If you don't like the tomato on a burger because it's too wet, I think the fast food restaurants have solved this. I believe they jab a syringe in each plump tomato and suck out all the juice and flavor. Because the "tomatos" McDonald's and Wendy's put on their burgers are definitely not wet. Or tasty.

[blogslut]

78. See, there ya go

No "T" on my "BLT". I'll take my tomatoes on the side please. As I said, I love tomatoes. I eat them like apples. Just keep them away from the bread unless they're dried or roasted.

[donheld]

45. Mushrooms

:puke:

[Lucian]

47. Tomatoes.

[Kat45]

48. deleted post -- misread the question -- it's late

[old mark]

50. Bacon. All on ist own, bacon is a gift from god. Sucks on a burger, though. nt

[Iggo]

66. Yer goddam right.

[Kali]

56. I can eat a burger with most any of your choices but prefer to skip mayo

actually if the burger is good beef, I don't need anything but salt.

[annonymous]

59. I don't particularly like mayo on anything.

A bottle of mayo lasts a long time in my household because we rarely use it, except for making tuna salad or pasta salad.

[LeftinOH]

62. Ketchup: the condiment for picky children and unsophisticated adult palates..blecch!

[HughBeaumont]

63. Mayo. Shittiest condiment ever conceived.

Smells like fried spit, tastes terrible.

[Deep13]

64. roofing nails. nt

[Iggo]

65. Raw onion.

That's just dumb.

[ceile]

67. Mustard. blech.

Or any kind of sweet relish...how people can consider that a condiment....

[Fridays Child]

68. Hot peppers.

I like 'em, just not on a burger.

[fizzgig]

69. ketchup or yellow mustard

i can't remember the last time i put either on a burger. i'm all about mayo and some form of brown or spicy mustard. i don't care for lettuce on my burgers, either.

[SoxFan]

70. Herring innards. I hate chumburgers.
