I'm surprised Hans hasn't come here, frothing at the mouth for a change, about how Obama's tastes in burger *proves* he's a dangerous, murderous socialist-elitist in this latest outrage that is the Dijon or Mustard - gate !

What other proof could the citizens of the United States require, that would demonstrate how delusional and intellectually bankrupt the conservatives in that country are - than this latest media franzy ?
G.
I prefer mustard as well.
I didn't even know Obama went out and got a burger.
While I think that Ingraham has fallen over to the darkside since getting cancer, I do find it funny that Obama goes on this PR trip and gets this.
QuoteCheck out this last line of The Washington Post piece: "Bonnie Cosby, 51, a technology consultant who picked up burgers on her way home from work, opined: 'It shows that he's in touch with the people, and that he's not up in the ivory tower. He's a real person — with a burger.'
Also, what kind of person does order dijon mustard and no ketchup on a hamburger? (Not that it matters, but...ewww)
P.S. Grallly - When I was a teen living at home, I used to listen to Laura Ingraham every night before bed. :goodboy:

Someone with taste. Ketchup is useful for cooking but has no place as a condiment on an adult's food.

I can't fathom either side of this one. There's nothing wrong with using ketchup, and there's nothing wrong with not using it. Depending on the burger and toppings almost anything in the condiment spectrum may be appropriate, from mayo and mustard to ketchup or any number of exotics (barbecue sauce, steak sauce, spicy ranch etc.).
Honestly, what kind of utter misanthrope gets uppity about burger toppings?

Other than when making meatloaf, what on earth would someone use ketchup for in cooking.
No, wait, you're British. Given what I do know of British cooking, I
don't want to know what ketchup might be used for over there.

Steak tartare. It's good in a lot of Jamaican curries as well and I always use it in any tomato sauce I make. It mellows when it's cooked and is delicious :)

Conversely, most of the time I have to order well done just to get them to cook the damn thing to medium. The number of "medium well" steaks I've received with blood red centers truly boggles the mind.

Always preferred actual hot fudge on ice cream, but chocolate milk is a good thing.
Fewer calories, less setup time (no heating). I prefer hot fudge as well, but with fewer uses, keeping it on hand is often impractical.
Oh and I left out milkshakes. :)

Makes sense to me.
Nothing wrong with ordering a burger without ketchup.
Edit: Then again, proper burger joints don't bother asking which condiments (aside from mayo sometimes, I suppose) you want on the damn thing, and if you want extra special <brand> mustard because you're a douche, you're shit out of luck, and need to just suck it up and use the crusty bottle sitting on the counter or table.

Any place that serves sandwiches of any stripe and is too stupid to recognize a difference between brown and yellow mustard isn't worth bothering with.
Anyone who uses the wrong condiments will burn in Hell...or be forced to move to Utah. Really, there is no difference.

Yes, but I'm talking about burger joints, not delis/sandwich shops that also happen to squeeze out crappy hamburgers. I give no shits about what you demand on your triple layer BLT plus turkey minus the bacon or whatever. ;) :P

I agree, and that's what I usually buy, but it's really a matter of what you want your chocolate milk to taste like.

I'm certainly not partial to the pre-made chocolate milk.

Speaking of kosher hot dogs, I grilled some hebrew national franks yesterday.
Good stuff.
Lol, I just love how we skewer our Presidents over these things. Pres Bush I was lampooned in the media for not knowing much about super market checkout scanners. Pres Clinton must have gotten slammed for something trivially similar. Candidate Kerry was lampooned for improper ordering of a Philly cheese steak sandwich, or something like that.
But hey, I can at least be grateful, hopeful, that we also keep tabs on the important Presidential decisions as well.
Anyhow, I tend to also like either mustard or ketchup on burgers, though usually ketchup if anything. Usually I go with tomato slices instead of ketchup. I most prefer mustard with hot dogs though. :cool:

If I had to choose between only ketchup or mustard on a burger, I'd go with mustard. Really would prefer salsa, chilli, or guacamole though.

I'm wondering if we aren't coming to that kind of thing again? Dems and Repubs alike seem pretty frustrated with government, and both main parties brought us to where we are. Repubs are already annoyed with the party. For the Dems, it may just be that they're newly in power now, so things haven't sunk in as much. But give it time, and I wonder if Dems will become just as frustrated with their party since it's still business as usual; just the leaders have changed.
That said, I don't expect much change. The two main parties will likely continue on, and voters will continue to make their choices even if they remain frustrated with government business as usual.
