So you think I'm a bigot because I don't want you forcing poison down my
throat. I knew you couldn't be reasonable. I've had enough of this crap.

I'm a non-smoker. I quite often sit with smokers and have no problem with it. I know if I smoke all the time I'll maybe get lung cancer, but not from the odd occasion. I accept their choice to smoke, they accept my choice not to smoke. Perhaps you need some lessons in getting on with others who are different from yourself?

That's true mathematically, but people often use the words for two
separate doublings (no quadrupling). The same way I used to know someone
who had a house with 1 and 2 halves bathrooms. It was ONE full bathroom
and TWO half bathrooms. Definitely not two wholes (if you think its 2

There are many cases where you can do arithmetic on numbers, but that
doesn't make sense with the actual things. For example, two mechanics
work at the same garage. One has 20 years of experience. The other has
30 years. NO ONE had 50 years of experience. 20 + 30 = 50 makes sense
mathematically, but has nothing to do with reality.

The meat is flavorless, like cardboard. I'd much rather have a homemade
hamburger, with good meat and I've never been able to make a patty that
wasn't thicker than TWO of the fast-food ones.



As far as I'm concerned, they are two very different things:
hamburgers and fast food hamburgers. They are so different that an
example of one shouldn't be compared with an example of the other;
it's almost like comparing fried chicken with lamb chops.

I find a lot of things (including biscuits and ice cream), where the
fast food (and grocery store) versions are very different from the
homemade one.

[snip]

My hamburger recipe:

Sufficient ground meat for the number of patties you want, approx 4oz
per patty.

For every 4 patties add
1 medium whole egg
2 tablespoons oatmeal
Celery and green/red peppers chopped fine to suit (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup)
Dash or two of garlic powder
Dash or two of chili powder
Salt to taste (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon)
Any other spices? You decide.

Mix it all up, let sit for about 1/2 hour for oatmeal to soak up juices,
form into patties, and broil or barbecue.

Enjoy.

That sounds awesome! The only changes I would make would be to increase
the pre-cooked size of the patties to at least 6 ounces and skip the
egg, oatmeal, celery, green/red peppers, garlic powder, chili powder,
and salt. Those things turn a hamburger into a small meatloaf.

Interesting! I've never heard "double milk" or "double sugar, but I'd
have no trouble understanding it. But if someone said "double double,"
I wouldn't know what he meant.

Isn't it just quadruple?

No.

Yes it is. Pick up a calculator and type 2x2. Educate yourself.

No, he said "double double", so the double is doubled.

I explained it. Rene explained it. Why do you insist on being "logical?"
It's about how you order coffee at Timmie's. So it's different where you
live. So that's life.

If I ordered coffee I tell them WHAT I wanted doubled, as I don't want to pay for the wrong thing. Being ambiguous is never a good idea.

I thought beef went without saying,


I did too, but then, at the last minute before pressing Send, I
changed "meat" to "beef" lest I be misunderstood.


but it's a great point lest we have
someone doing turkey burgers or tofu burgers. A hamburger is made with
beef.


To me and to you, yes. But there are undoubtedly some people who
disagree.


Ted Turner tried to get people to eat bison burgers when he opened
a string of restaurants, using bison raised on his ranch in Montana, but
it didn't catch on and the restaurant location in my town closed after a
couple of years.

Nothing else.

Barbecue

+1 on the 'nothing else' unless you totally didn't buy enough ground
beef and you need to stretch it. When I see a hamburger with other stuff
mixed into it, I know someone screwed up or they're trying to max their
profits, etc.


Yep!


Better yet is not using store-bought ground beef but buying large
pieces of meat and chopping it yourself in a food processor. If you do
that and wash it before chopping, you can make it as rare as you want
(I like it *very* rare) without worrying about e. coli.

When I was a kid my dad owned a bar. Every Friday evening he would put
out platters of 'tiger meat' surrounded by smaller bowls of crackers and
a bunch of popsickle sticks. I think I was 8 before I realized that
tiger meat was just raw hamburger, but it was *so* good.



That reminds me of the time many years ago when I was in a restaurant
in Ndola, Zambia. The menu listed something they called "monkey
steak." I was assured that that was just their name for beef steak, so
I ordered it.

I still don't know what it was that I ate, but I know that I chewed
and chewed without having any effect, so eventually I just braced
myself and swallowed. Doing that was probably very dangerous--I might
have choked on it--but I got away with it.
