I love a good Ruben style sarnie, too. Some pastrami or salt beef, pickles, some melty cheese and mustard on some nice rye bread - food of the gods!

I’m pretty-much the same.

Do you like those cranberry-brioche-esque burgers that Wetherspoons sometimes does at Christmas?

I’m sure steak’s still there, but then I don’t venture into Wetherspoons these days as much as I used to, so I can’t even be sure.

Burger-King burgers are some of the best, IMO, but I like the simplicity of a chippy-burger as-well (which, like I say, don’t even tend to come with pickles by default at-all).

Vicky. 18-08-2025 08:19 PM

No they removed whole grill menu and replaced with more burgers..at least in our local one

Best mainstream chain for a burger, IMO, like I say.

Redway 18-08-2025 08:44 PM

By the way, Vicky, if you ever get to Liverpool, peradventure, there’s this restaurant/beef-house, apparently, called Herd and the premise/foundation of it is (supposedly) high-quality steak, but they’ve got a smattering of chicken-dishes (like honey-chicken wings with blue-cheese mayo.), panko-fried tiger-prawns, maple-glazed chorizo and lots of other side-bites. It sounds like it’d be up your street, so I just thought I’d mention it.

Vicky. 18-08-2025 08:48 PM

I could easily eat a whole cow if it was cooked just right..medium rare. Some gravy and home cooked chips too

Redway 18-08-2025 09:09 PM

Salad on burgers wouldn’t be so bad if cabbage (which I actually love) was the default rather-than lettuce. I used to just put up with the lettuce, likewise for in coleslaw, but as the years have gone on I’ve become more discriminating in terms of filtering out what I don’t like, and that goes for Big Macs from Maccie-D’s, too. The sauce was always my least-favourite part of Big Macs, even when I was alright with them overall, but ever-since I found out that the sauce is akin to tartar (which, by association, even spoils the idea of fish and chips for me at this point) and that much of that taste that I always found a little funny is down to pickle/gherkin, I can’t even go there anymore. If I get a Big Mac, it has to be plain now. A far cry from the 8-year-old me that would just munch it down as-is, even with those less likeable elements (lettuce, pickle-infused sauce).

As a kid, I was only fussy about not having mayo. on my Chicken Sandwich (again, from McDonald’s), but pre. kiosk-customisation, that wasn’t really possible (without asking directly anyway, which I never did), so I’d usually just take the burger home and scrape off all the unwanted bits (mayo., I guess; lettuce, which I can’t even remember if it comes on a Maccies chicken-sandwich by default at this point, I didn’t mind so much as-of that time, in burgers and coleslaw). I’d always take out the pickle in my quarter-pounders and so-on when I found out that it was that which slightly tainted the experience of these burgers for me but I was 15 when I started asking directly at the counter to have pickles left out (when I could be bothered). I was once charged 10p extra for it, which is just weird.

It’s the best bit.

I buy the big jars of gherkins and eat them of the jar as snacks. Love.

caprimint 18-08-2025 11:32 PM

Just the patty on its own without bread or salad pls

Same - delish!

What about deep fried pickles? They're pretty nice.

Only tried them once and loved them. Will have to attempt some myself soon.

You can get gherkin crisps now too, they’re lush.
