A choice of vital importance.

This is a subject of great contention.

Alright, but I think that takes away from the impact.

Nova gherkins from the picturesque Czech Republic.
Which is similar to a Kosher dill, but better.
Bread and butter pickles are for people who need to taste sugar, rather than what they're actually eating.

The greatest burger is of course meat, lettuce, cheese, onion, egg, bacon and QP mayo. You can put tomato on if you want but I don't like tomato so. Tabouleh is a good replacement for lettuce too.

Bollocks. The greatest burger is meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese, sauteed onions and mushrooms, bacon, pickles (bread & butter fuck you guys), ketchup, mayo, mustard (optional).

My preferred burger would be cheese (real, not pre-sliced plastic or spray-on plastic), a little tomato sauce or sweet chilli sauce, lettuce, bacon, grilled pineapple and beef or kangaroo. Or maybe chicken if it's processed (chicken nugget style) and battered.

The closest thing to a pickle I eat is the gherkin.

Dill pickles come in the appropriate shape for hamburgers, too. I think they're even called something like hamburger chips. Personally, I just slice a whole pickle appropriately for whatever purpose it's needed.

My basic hamburger: medium rare ground beef, pepperjack cheese, pepper bacon, zesty dill pickles (lots of them), tomatoes, spinach (no lettuce), onion, ketchup, and yellow mustard.

There are, of course, other kinds of burger like lamb or chicken, and sometimes I'll mix up the flavor profile (sweet chili, barbeque sauce, hoisin, some sort of curry, balsamic, whatever) that necessitates changing the toppings, but never will I put sweet pickles on it.

:tongue:

This poll is about flavor, not shape. You can get both Bread and Butter and Kosher Dill pickles in multiple different form factors, and anyone with a kitchen knife can mod their own pickle.

Definitely dill, then. I'll tolerate sweet relish, but I only put that on if toppings are in short supply.

I don't go out of my way to add pickles to a burger, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis I use kosher dill.
Random thing I saw on Facebook wrote:Just make sure to compare your results from Weapon Bracket Table and Elevator Load Composition (Dragon Magazine #12) to the Perfunctory Armor Glossary, Version 3.8 (Races of Minneapolis, pp. 183). Then use your result as input to the "DM Says Screw You" equation.

Since I never watch adds, it took me until now to catch that joke. My coworker has a picture on his cube wall with a guy with Dos Equis that says "I don't usually test my code, but when I do, I do it in production."
