Pickles on burgers....

Pickles are gross.
Nope. Not on...not on the side! (the pickle flavor may infect my chips/fries!)
Nope. For some reason they just gross me out entirely.stosh said:
Pickles rule. I like the Vlastic dill sandwich stackers on pretty much any sandwich including burgers.
No sense corrupting what would otherwise be a perfectly good burger with pickles - or other condiments for that matter.
Pickles are da bomb yo! No, seriously, I love 'em. Have to be really good kosher dill though, with a hell of a "snap" when you bite into 'em. On a burger, on the side of a sammich, they make everything ok. Maybe it's a NY thing, but I can't imagine some meals without 'em.

Much better sliced on a burger or a sandwich (butter chips...mmmmm....) than a pickle on the side, IMO.
At least on certain sandwiches...PB&J may be taking it to far. But they go well with a lot of deli meats.
A double-double animal style just wouldn't be animal style without those pickles!

Vlastic Stackers were "buy one, get two free" at Big Y a few weeks ago, so we tried a jar of Tobasco ones. Very tasty!
Mmmm....pickles....
Anyone see that movie "The Ladykillers" (Tom Hanks flick)? The old lady's cat was named "Pickles." That's a good name for a cat.

Sometimes I put them on and sometimes I don't. They have to be a Dill Pickle though.
I like pickles on the side or on my sandwiches. Since I don't like mayo 
, they add a little juice to it. Plus, I like the crunch.
Pickles however do not belong on my burgers. Yuk...just meat, cheese and lettuce
Edit: I do like pickles chopped up in my tuna salads too!

Except for cheese, bacon, and bbq sauce. 
mmmm...Pickles...mmm 
pickles are never on my home-made burgers. acceptable condiments include:
ketchup (heinz only)
mayo (sometimes, hellman's lite preferred)
cheese (blue cheese preferred, american or muenster is ok)
thick slice of bermuda onion (occasionally)
i'm never motivated enough to cook bacon for my burgers.

Bacon is clearly not a condiment - it's a food group... cheese isn't really a condiment either... bbq sauce probably is, but is definitly an exception to the no condiment rule.COmtbiker12 said:Agreed
Sorry narlus, but you lost all burger credibility when you bastardized this thread with the mention of mayo.narlus said:
I am pro-pickle!
Slow day on the monkey, Eh?
I like mine with mustard, lettuce, tomato, and the stinkiest, onioney-onion I can find. Occasionally I will go all out and have a chili, onion, cheese burger (carmelized onions). Oh yeah. I HATE ketchup on burgers or hotdogs. Its cool on fries and eggs though. Pickles, I'd rather leave 'em than have 'em, but I don't really care too much either way.

I will not eat a corn dog without mustard either.
Pickles on my veggie burger please!
Pickled items are used to cut the richness of cold cuts of meats and pates, terrines, balotines ect. A certain amount of acidity is need when eating a burger that isn't killed (well done) because a good ground beef is 15-20 percent fat (IMHO). W/O a zinggy picked item, or at the very least a slice of tomatoe, your mouth will be caoted with a layer of fat and your scense of taste will be adversly affected. Ketchup isn't much of an alternative because of it's sweetness. Sweet things also kill your sense of taste. You're not getting the full experience with every bite unless you have pickle on your burger, or chase every coupla few bites with a hunk of that crunchy Kosher dill.

mayo is ok w/ me, but only when there is no cheese on the burger. then it's dairy overload.I Are Baboon said:Sorry narlus, but you lost all burger credibility when you bastardized this thread with the mention of mayo.
my fave is definitely a blob of melted stilton or maytag on a nice grilled med-rare burger...
maybe i should have said i like RUM RAISIN on my burger.
there was a funny onion grilling tip recently (damn work filter now blocks the site so i am reciting from memory) which said:Heidi said:
when grilling veggie burgers, be sure to tie back your long hair, so it doesn't catch on fire you stupid hippie.
Tobasco pickles! No kidding?I Are Baboon said:
I gotta get some of those. My wife brought home a jar of some spicy/hot pickles from some Amish store when she was on a trip. They were awesome, and it was a real bummer when the jar ran out. I have been looking for something like them ever since.
You made my day (if I can find some).
Edit: Oh yeah, and pickles are acceptable on or alongside any sandwich or burger.

They make lime ones now too! GROSS
Heinz Ketchup and Mayo on my burgers!! YUM!I Are Baboon said:Sorry narlus, but you lost all burger credibility when you bastardized this thread with the mention of mayo.
Pickles (gotta be dill) on the side.
Pickles are great. I prefer them on sandwiches (vs. burgers), but I like 'em on burgers too, or on the side.
Mayo on burgers (or anything, IMO, but burgers in particular) is just plain disgusting. Has anyone see The Whole Nine Yards were Bruce Willis goes on a rant about mayo on burgers?

And then gets pissed as hell when the waitress just wipes off the mayo and gives him the bun again? lol (Atleast that's what I think happens...haven't seen it in a long time)binary visions said:
I agree though, mayo is the WORST condiment ever invented. (besides vegemite but that doesn't even count as a condiment.
