I have found my new addiction

[poanoi]

I tried it, dont expect miracles, a salami sandwich beats it any day,

as does a bacon sandwich on subway, while the latter two also comes at half the cost.

I don't understand your confusion... and you must be very confused as you had to highlight the statement????

As a beetroot lover, allow me to explain....the type of sliced beetroot used on burgers is preserved sliced beetroot, which comes in dozens of different brands all with unique flavours. If it's too sour it can spoil the burger. The only sliced beetroot I see for sale in Pattaya right now is the German brand "Hainich", which I would consider to tart to use on a burger.

"If it's too sour it can spoil the burger."

Not confused, matey. But, you'll never see an American (home of the best burgers on earth!) eatin' anything like that! We figure, any beetroot's gonna spoil any burger! But, never mind, to each his own... go for it!

I've never had a Subway I liked yet! I find them too "wet" to enjoy the bread and the meats used taste cheap and processed.

But too each their own...

I am told people in the north of England eat beetroot with cottage pie, not sure about burgers though.

No idea to be honest, mine (like a lot of things) comes direct from OZ.

I had the the "Aussie Kitchen Sink Burger" from the Lion Pub last night, had the usual suspects on board (bacon/cheese/egg/pineapple/beetroot/tomato/lettuce/fried onion). was ok but nothing compared to my local <deleted> shop back home.

There certainly was confusion as we were discussing the Oz Burger as depicted earlier in the thread.

Anyway, you've learnt something about beetroot.

Americans put ALL kinds of things on their burgers. I like the idea of beetroot on them. How did that happen in Australia? Strong beetroot industry lobby?

They used to stock Watties beetroot here but I haven't seen it in years. That's pretty close to Edgells in flavour.

The Australian Burger King menu (called "Hungry Jacks" in Oz) has a burger called the Aussie Burger. That's the only one which has beetroot.... so there must be plenty of Australians who prefer their burgers without beetroot. McDonalds does extremely well in Oz too... and they don't have beetroot.

I grew up on beetroot. My Dutch mother always made it for us - we were never without a jar in the fridge. It's a European thing which made it's way to Australia.

Yeah, but it joined the great Kiwi migration to Australia. What the Kiwis call "the big OE".

I saw some tins of beetroot at Yorkies shop on Chaiyaphreuk yesterday. Didn't check them out, though. Seemed to be only a few.

Yes it is, but New Zealand is nearly a state of Australia. At one point in history it nearly became one.

Driving up to Soi Buakaew from Soi Dianna I noticed on the corner a burger joint which looked quite enticing. Later that night I decided to go get me one but instead settled for a Roast Beef Roll - with onions and gravy.

I cannot praise it highly enough - having only been in Pattaya for 3 months my favourite after drinks chaser was a Nana Burger (sadly gone downhill) but now Oz Burger's tucker will have me returning to LK, Leng Kee and Buakaew more often than the bars could ever.

Thanks matey, I'd driven past this place to our condo a couple of times but never got round to trying it. Fen kawng phom and I walked up to give them a bash, and they have to be one of the best we'd had anywhere. The also added bonus of being able to sit on a bar stool on Soi Diana and the watch the cross roads craziness whilst imbibing on a massive burger is worthy of note.

For those taking a trip to Bangkok can I recommend Bourbon Street (just across from Ekimae bus station) which is a fantastic oyster bar and grill and have into opinion one of the best blue cheese burgers in the world.

I love beetroot but excuse me, but why would anyone of any nationality want to put beetroot on a burger?

Very curious.

That really is one of the dumbest questions anyone has ever asked.... trolling for an argument perhaps?

[Upnotover]

I don't think he is looking for an argument, rather highlighting cutural differences across the gobe. I am well aware that Australian's use beetroot in burgers, I don't know if any other nation does, and the last time I ever saw beetroot on the table was at my grandmother's house in 1973, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. As I mentioned before, friends of mine, north of England, always want beetroot with cottage pie, someting I never experienced down south.

It's the height of ignorance to question or criticize another's food preferences.... except maybe human fetuses, which are popular in China.

... and regarding beetroot in burgers and Australians - not all Australians take beetroot in their burgers. It's usually an additional extra for people who like it.

I pass up on raw onion in burgers.

Maybe some very curious person will ask me why, after stating how much they like onion.

It would be an extremely dull world if everyone had the same tastes in food.

I put beetroot on sandwiches too... egg sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches etc...and I'm of Dutch origin,.

Lesson - just because other people eat things you don't, doesn't mean it's unusual or strange. Open your eyes and have a look at the weird stuff Thais eat, for example.

What you consider normal would seem weird to others.

Wake up - it's a big world out there where people eat things you don't..... and this is an international forum. I've always considered it bad manners to make disparaging comments or innuendos about what other people eat.

My wife and her family often eat stuff I don't even like the smell of - and I don't utter a word. I understand they enjoy it and I'm happy to see them enjoying it. My wife doesn't like a lot of the food I eat too - it goes both ways. I even cook food for my wife that I don't eat myself.

You could also try some good beetroot on your next burger - you just never know, you may like it. How would you even know if you haven't tried it. It can add a nice tangy flavour to a burger and provide a good balance to the high fat content of most burgers... much as lemon is often used with fish & chips.
