I just found out why Wendy's meat patties are square

[slunken]

and yet you still want 5 of them

[MyOneAndOnly]

that pic was not good. I found it online.

here is a pic of the olive burger and rings I ordered today for lunch at Fat Boy. it was good. so damn good.

[Trotskilicious]

i just don't feel like burgers should have olives on them

[The exploding boy]

i find it weird but interesting at the same time. if they were black olives id be like no not in a burger. but these...it might be good.

[Trotskilicious]

now muffuletta, that's some good shit right thurr

[duovamp]

Black olives are good on tacos, so why wouldn't they be good on the same meat but with bread? You guys just don't like them because they're black or what?

[Trotskilicious]

only white people put olives on tacos wtf i've literally never seen that

[Trotskilicious]

jesus i totally forgot about the olives on tacos thing

even all the jerkoff gringo taco places here don't put olives in their fancy asshole tacos

[duovamp]

I'm Italian. I put black olives in my cereal.

[ohnoitsbonnie]

I don't like olives.

[Eulogy]

They're so gross.

Stop putting olive juice in fucking bloody maries you gross people

Dirty martinis are gross

Black olives are gross.

I really hate olives.

[Eulogy]

Might be cliche but the best burger toppings are jalapeno slices and bacon.

[Trotskilicious]

spice is good going in most of the time but the problem i have is when it comes out

[Bread Regal]

i will occasionally have dreams about whataburger, getting a 2- or 3- stack with extra cheese and jalepeno's. hold the lettuce.

[Trotskilicious]

the only person in florida that liked it i guess lol

[MyOneAndOnly]

if by black olives you mean the ones that come in a can, those are an American thing (not italian). They're chemically treated to turn them that color and give them that strange metallic flavor. Why the fuck would anybody put them on a taco?

chopped manzanilla olives on a burger works something like muffuletta. It adds a salty note to the burger. And it goes well with the mayo.

[Trotskilicious]

wait really the black olives are a chemical thing

[Trotskilicious]

scotty you are full of shit where is your source

[Trotskilicious]

goddamn it you uninformed posterchild

I've toured olive factories and olive groves in California, Spain and South America. I buy olives (and other things) for my job. The process for black olives was "invented" in the USA.

this is a good explanation:

http://calolive.org/our-story/how-olives-are-made/

The method of processing California Ripe Olives was invented in the late 1800s by a housewife named Freda Ehmann and that same recipe is followed today. It is a multi-day process that starts by putting the olives into a lye curing solution to leach the natural bitterness out. This is followed by a series of cold-water rinses, which remove every trace of curing solution. Throughout the multi-day curing process, pure air is constantly bubbled through the olives. This air is what creates the natural, rich dark color of California Black Ripe Olives. Green Ripe Olives go through a nearly identical curing process. However, their tanks are not injected with air, allowing them to retain their green color. At the very end, a trace of organic iron salt (ferrous gluconate) is sometimes added, which acts as a color fixer so the olives will maintain their rich black color after the cans are stored.

Finally, California Ripe Olives are pitted and canned-whole, sliced, wedged or chopped-in a mild salt brine. Because they are a low acid product, they are heat sterilized following strict California State health codes. In addition, they are inspected by the USDA to ensure consistent quality, color, flavor and texture, so they reach your supermarket shelves just the way you want them: firm, smooth and delicious.

If all this talk has made you hungry, we have lots of recipes to tempt your tastebuds.

i was reading up on olives and i don't dispute your expertise (now) i think your salesmans bias may or may not be influencing the way you talk about that particular process

the metallic flavor comes from the can i would expect

[duovamp]

Scot pls

Lyes are used to cure many types of food, including the traditional Nordic lutefisk, olives (making them less bitter), canned mandarin oranges, hominy, lye rolls, century eggs, and pretzels. They are also used as a tenderizer in the crust of baked Cantonese moon cakes, in "zongzi" (glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves), in chewy southern Chinese noodles popular in Hong Kong and southern China, and in Japanese ramen noodles.

In the United States, food-grade lye must meet the requirements outlined in the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC),[2][page needed] as prescribed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[3][not in citation given] Lower grades of lye which are unsuitable for use in food preparation are commonly used as drain de-cloggers and oven cleaners.[3][page needed]

Do you just not like spicy foods?

And if you remove the seeds jalapeños are pretty mild.

All this talk is making me crave a burger. I'll probably have to get one this weekend.

[Eulogy]

Ooh or we should make some. Yes that's a better idea. This might sound dumb but but I can never seem to get the desired thickness. Like I wanna make two skinny patties but they always end up thick. What am I doing wrong (I am awful in the kitchen and I already know this).

[The exploding boy]

no i don't particularly like spicy. i mean i'll eat tacos and stuff but with mild sauce only. why spicy food is supposed to be enjoyable is a mystery to me.


I'll eat indian i guess but a lot of the time i need to dilute it with plain yogurt (if at home) or mix it with a bunch of rice because otherwise there's some of it i can't bear.

[The exploding boy]

if you make a burger at home, you want the pattie to be fairly thick. i mean those thin fast food patties are bullshit.

[Eulogy]

I don't enjoy the kind of spicy that gets you a picture on the wall at hole in the wall Thai places. But I do enjoy the medium where the servers always ask white people if they're sure that's what they want. The level that makes you sweat a little bit and lingers but isn't actually painful.

Not if done properly.
