Fuctifano Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Saying that there are other better burger providers than BK and McD is a bit like going into an Alloa vs Cowdenbeath thread and pointing out that Bayern Munich would beat both these teams.

thisGRAEME Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 While that is correct, you also wouldn't have people in an alloa - cowdenbeath thread claiming it was the best game about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gus Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I really only eat them when hungover these days, and McDonalds does the trick for me in that respect. In the Big Mac vs Whopper debate- the whopper has fucking actual tomato on it which is no use to anyone. T I stopped here - have you ever had, you know, a really nice burger say in decent restaurant or one of those pubs that go in for specialising in burgers that seem really popular these days? The burgers aren't just splashed with some mushy sauce like a takeaway one is, the salad is "proper" salad as you would expect and if there was no actual tomato I'd be confused.

Confidemus Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 He's absolutely right. Why would I want that shite when I could get a gloriously juicy and flavourful burger from five guys or honest burger, for roughly the same price? That's be beyond stupid. As soon as they open a five guys or honest burger in Ayrshire, I'll be only too happy to frequent their establishments. ETA: And no, he's not absolutely right. He stated that the people who like XL bacon double cheeseburgers are the same people who like microwaveable lasagne. I like the former, whilst detesting the latter. So he's wrong.

I don't like actual tomatoes, but I do like tomato flavoured things. Those horrible big tomato rings you get on a whopper with the chewy green stem still in the centre give me the boak. If I get one of them there fancy burgers that you refer to and it looked as if it was going to contain tomato, i'd either ask for no tomato, or most likely just pick it off as I like avoiding conflict. Tomatoes on burgers = wrong IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 They can both do one. Lots of new burger places opened in Glasgow, you can get genuinely tasty food for the same as BK and even McDs have gone through the roof price wise when I had my first one in years recently. Big Mac Sauce is still fucking awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexi Collector Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Massive Burger King fan, and was only introduced to it in March by a mate from uni who calls himself a 'Burger King enthusiast'. I ate from it more or less every night when I was in Majorca. Was also in also in London last month and was completely mind-blown by their drink selection. They've got these big machines, and you can choose any soft drink from the Coca-Cola people, in any flavor (free re-fills as well). I was sitting with an XL double whopper (no jokes here, plz) and a Dr. Pepper. Absolutely buzzing. Their burgers are clearly the best though, it's a little bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Was chatting about this last night on Facebook with a couple of my pals, only for them to tell me they're opening up a BK in Livingston in October. I'm still absolutely fucking buzzing off this news.

Fudge Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 If I wanted salad, I'd buy a salad. Get it the fuck off my burger. I'm here for a bread, meat, cheese and bacon party only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomatoes on burgers = wrong IMO. I understand now but I wouldn't have replied if you just had said "I can't stand tomatoes", you kind of implied tomato on a burger was generally wrong. Just a misunderstanding. Do you not even like fried tomato with a cooked breakfast? Lovely when it's been done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Interesting logic. Completely wrong, mind. I'm not having a dig at you, I'm partial to a BK XL double cheeseburger myself but to suggest those are the best burgers money can buy is laughable. Any decent bar/restaurant will serve burgers at least on a par with those. For what it's worth, BurgerBar in Amsterdam is my favourite. It's literally the first place I go when I'm over there.

No, I have tried that in the past as there are other foods I like / dislike when cooked instead of raw (like raw carrots but hate cooked). No tomatoes for me.

That was the one I went into on the first day, yeah. I was completely blown away by these drinks machines. Went into the one in Kensington the following night when I was wrecked and they were there again. Hopefully the one opening up here is state of the art as well. You could even get Powerade! I didn't though, because it's fucking awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are far better burgers out there, there just isn't all that much choice down my neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

young_bairn Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The only purpose for McDs and BK is to bloat yourself after a heavy night on the booze. Pure comfort during the eating. Absolute stomach armageddon afterwards. On that basis only I would choose McDs. Sent from my LT15i using Pie & Bovril mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I wouldn't feed McDonald's food to my next door neighbours dog, and I hate that little fucker. Don't really eat fast food these days, but on the rare occasion it would be an XL bacon double cheeseburger meal - large (obvs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
