Whatever happened to the humble burger?

This is from one of our local eateries.

That would feed me over three or four meals

Care to guess the price (on its own , no side salad or chips) ?

Looks like a belly buster, I'll guess £15.99. Incidentally, the photo would put me off eating (too late, I've had me tea)

£27.50?

If that's close I'm opening a burger joint 

£16.99 . With 1 extra beef pattie it's 12.99, with 2 it's 15.99, with 3 it's 16.99. This seems to be the standard of food served in the trendy eateries around here, piled up with acres of cheese dripping , covered in sauces etc. As Askit said, just the look of it puts me off.
Are we simply following the US with huge portions of everything.

It’s no wonder obesity is on the increase  

I can never get the idea of those burgers. A burger in a bun is meant to be picked up and eaten like a sandwich.
You have to take those burgers apart to eat them so why not put the contents on a plate and scrap the bun.
When I was training in Canada with the army I was asked if I would like a loaded burger. I hadn’t a clue what they were talking about. The cookhouse didn’t serve burgers in a bun.
It was a quarter pounder with pickles tomatoes and relish.

I have been looking for plain ole corn relish in the supermarkets, I can’t find it anywhere ?

Jeez, that is crazy! Fuelling your body with that is like taking a dump in your tank and expecting the van to operate at peak performance.

What really gets me is everywhere seems to want to put your burger in a brioche bun … I don’t want a meat burger in a butter bun that’s also full of sugar, what’s wrong with a traditional soft bap !

What ,no chips !!

Hi ,you can get the delicious Ballymaloe relish from Tesco C/C price £1.5 ,YUMMY!!

By a strange coincidence, this just popped up on my X (formerly Twitter) feed:

Management has a recipe for Corn Relish in her kitchen scrap book. She got recipes from the back of cups soups from years ago.

Hi, what happened to BICKS relishes?
