Why do Americans hate salad in their burgers?

[Anonymous No.14299906]

Ive been in the US for a few years, and one thing Ive noticed is that most burger joints here have such basic or non existent salad and coleslaw fillings when its probably the one thing that can elevate a burger and its cheaper than stuffing more meat into a bun.

Some of the best burgers I had were only memorable because the salad was just great at balancing out the fattiness of the patty and giving it interesting flavour, if the chef was creative.

I cant even count the number of time burger joints just skipped the salad and Ive had to return it to the chef so he can put a few tomatoes and salad. Or they thought a thin layer of wilted lettuce would do . Why dont Americans appreciate salads in their burgers?
Eating a burger with just a slice of processed cheese, a fatty patty and bun just leaves you feeling shit and disgusted.

Why not have a salad on the side? Too many veggies on a burger, and they will tend to fall out when you bite.

[Anonymous No.14299925]

excellence is found in simplicity. if you have a fuck ton of veggies on your burger then its just too much, a burger is best with few toppings. if your toppings fall out of your burger while you take a bite then theres too much

Veggie slaw like diced radishes or jicama or whatever you’re talking about only detracts. I like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and maybe some jalapeño, that’s plenty.

Because you need a good burger salad or coleslaw balances out the fattiness of the cheese and patty. Americans are more than happy to add more pattys to their tower burgers. A little spicy apple slaw wont hurt, especially when it can improve the flavour by a factor of 3

Okay, so, serve it on the side. Alternate one bite of burger, one bite of salad, wa laa, you balance out the fattiness.

Fair enough. Problem is, there are tons of burger joints that just skip even basic salads all together.

Did you only ever go to McDonald’s in the US or something? You can get vegetables at literally every single burger joint that isn’t some fatty mc fat fat flyover food place.

The salad goes on the side and consists of deep fried potatoes, you fucking frog eating communist pansy.

What's the point? Fried food is not even remotely healthy, so adding greens and veggies on it would accomplish nothing except texture enhancement

[Anonymous No.14300349]

I can't eat a burger WITHOUT at least tomato, lettuce and onion, but I would never call those things in-tandem a "salad". They are just vegetables. Here is a real big mac salad though:

McDonald's tried for years to rip off the whopper, but no one was buying it. The problem is not so much that the IDEA of a whopper is bad (it's not) it's just that Burger King's meat tastes like thrice recycled toilet paper.

I used work at hungry Jacks, which is basically a rebadged burger king for Auscunts and the way that those pattys looked when you took em out of the fridge, you could have sworn they were frozen cardboard. Truly disgusting.

Burgers in America almost always get lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion, not "salad".

well thats kind of weird
no reason to need anything besides fried onions and mustard. But regardless, putting veggies on top of burgers is extremely common in the US, what are you talking about?

And you still call lettuce on a hamburger "salad"? Also if you want a bunch of shit on your burger, just go to Five Guys and order it "all the way"

Not even a "do Americans really?" guy, but those burgers that only contain meat, cheese and greasy sauted onions seem to be an all American thing.
I don't see the appeal of it. I'd rather eat meatballs/frikadells with lots of onions in it and a dipping sauce and keep of the stupid bun.

That's not true. I've seen a thread wondering why Americans DO put "salad" on top of burgers. He probably made that one too. Just another obsessed euro shit poster.

When I make my own burgers I mechanically go for salad and tomato, maybe onion and/or pickle if I'm feeling particularly off the charts.
And recently I tried doing a cheezburugur without salad and tomato, just with a slice of red onion. I was surprised at how much I could taste the meat and sauce compared to burgers with salad

I love salad and tomatoes on mine, along with pickles and onions. But I never have coleslaw. I kind of avoid coleslaw because when I was a kid I ate some that was so shit that it turned me off from coleslaw forever.

In America, they don't put any salad on their burgers. It's all just meat and plastic cheese. They also put crisps on their sandwiches. You can't even order a sandwich in Yankland without crisps on it.

Why do you put the patty in the burger? Just put it on the side and eat the bun with cheese and alternate between the salad, the meat and your bun with cheese and sauce
