Pretty useless topic I know, but you would be amazed at the number of people I know who hate that little green circle. Lets see if its worth them putting it in there. ChUnK!

Chunk 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2003 A Gerkin is the English name for a pickle. Its a small pickled vegetable (like a cucumber or a courgette) and is often served, in slices, in hamburgers. Silly british people, learn english Its you guys that keep changing it all around lol ChUnK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunk 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2003 Whats a Chicago style hot dog. In the uk, we only really have them with optional ketchup and mustard. Thats it really. ChUnK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted January 8, 2003 NO VEGGIEs ON BURGER! throw some pork and mad cow than I'll be happy. Now ketchup or any kind of sause is not considered a veggie because it is processed by products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest areacode212 Report post Posted January 8, 2003 I love pickles, on a burger or otherwise. In the uk, we only really have them with optional ketchup and mustard. Thats it really. Wow, that's all? My favorite hot dog topping is ketchup w/onions. But here in the U.S, sauerkraut & relish (not necessarily together) are popular too. Here are some popular styles (including Chicago style): http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/baseball/hotdogs/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Yeah, the round pickles sure, not the sliced crap. My Hot Dog? Cheese Coney MOTHERFUCKER! Cincy is KING of HOT DOGS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 8, 2003 About once a year, I get this bizarre calling to eat a bunch of brats with kraut. I can't explain it, or justify it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunk 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Damn, I forgot about onions. Of course we have onions. I went to Germany a few years ago, and they have kick ass hot dogs over there. Nurnburger (sp?) with this sweet mustard they had, tasted awesome. ChUnK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted January 8, 2003 I always thought that the gerkin was a type of pickle. Like dill. Anyway, yeah, I eat the pickles on my burger, and I usually get them on my sub at SubWay, too. As for hot dogs, nothing beats a good Chilli Dog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 8, 2003 I'm pretty sure gerkin is a specific type of pickle. I saw it on Full House. And now that I think about it, it might be spelled gherkin. I never eat pickles in any context. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Old Me Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Sometimes I dig the pickles, sometimes not. I guess it just depends on my mood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Eww, never. Whenever I get a burger, I always get it w/ just cheese, and bacon if it is an option. As for hot dogs, just yellow mustard, and lots of it. Mustard usually drips off as I'm eating it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 9, 2003 Those small baby pickles are called Gherkins in the states as well. I love those things...I could literally eat a whole fucking jar of them in one sitting. I never saw the big deal with "loaded" hot dogs. I like the occasional chili dog, but usually just mustard and/or ketchup. Speaking of hot dogs they are best when cooked over a camp fire. I like them burnt on the outside where it's a crispy skin. I like marshmallows like that as well. One last thing... The way British people talk(including their slang) sounds alot better than us in the states who usually sound ignorant. Also British pronunciations are better sounding. British way of pronouncing Laboratory is much cooler sounding than how we Americans pronounce it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless thats some sort of cruel sarcasm, then thanks I hate it when Americans say that they speak American and not English. We don't all speak like the stereotypes you see in films etc, but its still good to hear praise for my mother tounge ChUnK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 9, 2003 No no it wasn't sarcasm...I always liked the british accent. By the way...do you speak cockney cockney rules us all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunk 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2003 No no it wasn't sarcasm...I always liked the british accent. By the way...do you speak cockney cockney rules us all. Cool, Cool. I wasnt sure Cockney isn't really a language, its more of a combination of an accent and some slang for certain words. I know some (i think most people in England know some) but its just people from London (within the sound of the bow bells) anre called cokneys, and tend to use the slang a bit more. Heres some examples for you: Tell the dustbin lids to get off the dog and bone and up the apples and pairs = tell the chidlren to get off the phone and up the stairs. I was really hank, when some geezer half inched me wallet = I was really when hungry when my wallet was stolen etc etc That was bad I know, lol but it gives you and example of what i mean. ChUnK!
