This is my first ever poll.

 

Simply as the Topic Title: Do you eat the Gerkin in hamburgers? :)

 

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.

Yes, Gerkin is what the british call pickles (although many of them do call them pickles too.)

 

Anyway I love the pickles in burgers, I usually have other peoples as well

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.

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.

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):

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes I dig the pickles, sometimes not. I guess it just depends on my mood.

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.

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.

I always thought "aluminium" was a dumb way to pronounce "aluminum".

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 :)

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.
