Putting pickles on burgers is a meme. What do they really add?

>>21448017 (OP)
Pickles

>>21448017 (OP)
Umami, they add umami. Simple as.

How does it feel to have the underdeveloped taste of a 5 year old

That's not a burger. That's a slider.

>>21448027
a slider is literally a burger

Crunchiness, juiciness, and a bit of vinegar flavor. All three are beneficial to a burger.
Lettuce, on the other hand, offers little to no benefits and does not belong on a quality burger.

>>21448017 (OP)
pickles add a nice crunch and are delicious paired with beef, they are a good addition for most combos.

>>21448027
it's a hamburger slider

>>21448017 (OP)
Makes you secrete more saliva making the burger feel juicier.

>like pickles on a burger
>make a burger at home
>mouthful of fucking pickle that completely drowns out the rest of the burger
I don't get how restaurants do it. The onions and pickles are just right while I try it and it just doesn't work. Most restaurants anyways, there have been a few that's just too fat of pickles.

>>21448017 (OP)
Flavor!!!

>>21448027
Slider? I hardly know'er..

>>21448027
it's a sandwich

>>21448161
I intentionally put a mouthful of pickles on my burgs cus I love pickles. I use like a fifth of a jar per burg.

>>21448161
thinner slices

>a meme

That's retarded nonsense. We've been putting pickles on burgers for 100 years. You don't know what 'meme' means apparently.

Is this how the zoomer expresses that he doesn't care for pickles?

I only add pickles to cheeseburger fried rice and cheeseburger burrito/wraps*, not to actual cheeseburgers

>* form the meat into sausage shape rather than patties, cook as normal and place onto wrap with an absolute fucktonne of vegetables and a pickle spear; I like burrito burgers because I get more veg in that than if I were to eat it as a typical sandwich.

>>21448161
2 chips per burger. 3 if you want a little more. Pickles should always go on the bottom bun immediately after any condiments on it.

>>21448017 (OP)
>What do they really add?
Crunch and acidity, which balances the richness of beef and cheese
If you don't like pickle flavor, you can substitute them with pickled red onions to serve the same purpose

>>21448017 (OP)
One or two pickles is a welcome addition to a burger but I wouldn't want any more than that. There is no such thing as too many pickles on a chicken sandwich. Even if you put so many that pickles predominate the taste, it's still good.

>>21448712
weird that you called it a burger at first, that's clearly not a ground patty.

>>21448017 (OP)
>What do they really add?
the wonderful crunch and flavor of a dill pickle.

>What do they really add?

>>21448017 (OP)
To make it a kike burger, you remove the meat and bun and replace it with foreskins and bagels

>>21448017 (OP)
why is the bottom bun so fucking thick??

>>21448161
make sure you dab them dry out of the jar and not put all the liquid on the burger

>>21448740
I dunno man, maybe he's onto something. Chickens don't really leave the ground so it technically is a ground patty.

>>21448980
Ground as in minced doughy

The purpose of a pickled item on a sandwich is to add acid. This complements the whole sandwich, which is why it is featured on burgers, hot dogs (relish), bbq, and chicken sandwiches, as well as many other sandwiches.

The acid helps cut through the fat and balance things.

>>21448161
Dry em off. Pickles in restaurants sit in metal bins sans all their pickle fluid, so it all runs to the bottom and they dry off quite a bit. Fresh out of the jar they are fully saturated and too moist.

>>21448017 (OP)
They add an overwhelming amount of pickle brine and ruin that bite completely. Maybe a little soggy crunch.
Additionally, I find I often don't completely bite through the slice. The entire pickle slice then gets dragged out, often dragging other toppings and any condiment in contact with that pickle slice.
It can potentially undermine the structural integrity of the entire burger while making a mess.

>>21448652
Classy.
I think kimchi is underexplored alternative as well.

>We've been putting pickles on burgers for 100 years.
Yes that is still a meme

>>21448017 (OP)
acid and crunch ya big doofus. if they are salty they add savoury and crunch

wrong

>>21448161
I occasionally make a bacon cheese whopper exactly like BKs, the correct brand of ketchup and mayo and all. For whatever reason the pickles hit perfectly even though they use a lot of pcikles

>>21448020
Look at this. Another anime watching incel who uses meme words that they don't even know the meaning of. Actual Asians are laughing at how stupid you hipster faggots sound.

balance, texture contrast. tastelet.

You are brown and a zoomoid homosexual who is also using meme words tho. How about a reality check?

>>21448031
Real lettuce is fine, but iceberg should never be used on burgers or sandwiches.

>>21448017 (OP)
>What do they really add?
shit texture that doesnt match
sour taste that doesnt compliment the burger
they're ice cold from being in the fridge that ruins the burger
and they slide out ruining your clothes/table.

there's nothing positive about them.

The nigga gets it, doodly doo ding dong doodly doodly doo

I like iceberg lettuce on burgers and sandwiches. Iceberg lettuce gets way too much hate. The hate it gets is just a meme, just like how people talk shit about anchovies on pizza.

>>21448017 (OP)
they add a lot of what the burger otherwise lacks, but most importantly they filter tastlets

>>21452557
Iceberg lettuce is cool but it lasts approximately 1 day in my fridge before immediately turning into soggy paper.
