I used to be a lettuce on top of patty kind of guy before I realized how lettuce on the bottom preserves the structural integrity of the bottom bun and makes for a much more enjoyable burger experience.

They’re all mine but the lighting is creative and sometimes I put a hat on it.

Regardless, this restructuring of burger engineering opens up some new thinking. The longstanding dilemma, of course, is how one prevents the slipperiness caused by tomato slices.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Unless it’s a tomato fresh from a garden, like I’m talking about still warm from the sun, then it doesn’t belong on a burger.

[–] Starbuck@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (6 children)

If you have a fresh tomato, it’s hard to beat a BLT to showcase the freshness of the tomato. Aside from just eating it sliced with a pinch of sea salt, of course.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Plus a little fresh cracked pep.

My parents had grape tomato bushes growing in the backyard that my older sister and I would pick off the vine growing up. Divine. I enjoy a burger that warrants a slice, but have yet to devise a means to reasonably contain it. As Celebrity Jeopardy Sean Connery said "Failing to do so is my greatest regret."

My grandma had an apricot tree. I have never tasted an apricot as good as the ones that came from that tree.

Grown with love and dowsed in those tasty old school pesticides! Gives em a kick!

Jokes on you, tea is delicious. It really helps distract from the societal and economic collapse.

WTF is going on in UK anyway? People really that big mad over not electing fascists?!

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 41 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Decades of economic stagnation and eroded public services have exacerbated long running discontent among less well off people mainly in the north and Midlands who feel left behind by "metropolitan elites" in London and the south.

Populist figures like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson have landed on the traditional scapegoat of foreigners and whipped up tensions for years.

A brown person with obvious mental health issues has committed a horrendous act and these same people have used it as an excuse to loot shops, throw bricks at police and spray paint "p**is go home". Abetted by news that the prison system is full and they're releasing prisoners early to help deal with the overcrowding.

Anti racism protesters then showed up last night in huge numbers and along with a clear police presence and evidence of swift and strict sentences for the few people who have been identified meant that the latest round of pro fascist marches were abandoned and the nazis have gone back to hiding in their caves.

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much dead on but the offender was a native born black 17 year old who is reported to have been very religious and a regular attendee at a church local to them.

The far right made out that they were a brown, Muslim asylum seeker.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

That all started from one news outlet that quickly shut it down but the far right ran with it like a baton at the Olympics.

BBC did a great BBC verify article on it.

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] khannie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

No worries. Yeah the article is great. They did go to some lengths to try to get to the bottom of it in fairness. Those BBC Verify articles are always absolutely spot on.

Spray paint what?

Penis go home? Paris?

[–] PoopBuffet@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I assume it is the racial slur originally directed at Pakistanis but is now used against all brown people because racists can't tell the difference. Not that it would make a difference if they could. Racists gonna racist.

IIRC it started when some Brits targeted an immigrant recently with their racism only for oops no they were born in England and just brown. I don't know the details though, I live in America - the cops do that shit here, but only on days ending with "y."

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

If you pay attention to the footage, the riots are tiny. I think the biggest was around 100 people.

We finally managed to kick the right wing theives out, and some people are less than happy. They managed to rial a few idiots up, and the media have lapped it up.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

So basically, a few kids got stabbed while attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance lesson (IIRC) and people started spreading rumors in Twitter that the attacker was Muslim. Nazis started rioting about it and kept doing it even after it was revealed that the attacker was not even a Muslim.

Apparently the police and anti-racist protestors have managed to calm the riots down now.

Burger people throwing shade at our Tea people. Ts ts.

Bratwurst and Baguette people have had their own share of tantrums, but we get along now.

No excuse for recent BS of some Tea people though.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Do you want to end up in the harbor? Because that's how you end up in the harbor.

That depends, is that where all the tea is?

The actions of my fellow countrymen do not represent us as a whole. Instead of Tea people, please refer to them as Lager and Betting Shop people. Thank you 🙏

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Lager people and Betting Shop people are not necessarily bad, refer to the racists currently rioting as Fascists.

Said like a true "never had good tea in their life" individual.

[–] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (8 children)

Ok I’ll bite, I’ve had Brit coworkers try to draw me into their tea cult with Yorkshire tea which they “promised” me was like crack in a cup.

Note before you say I didn’t make it right I have an electric tea kettle with options for all tea types and I steep things like black tea for 4 minutes as is recommended.

It was… ok, not worth the bother if I’m honest. I’ll stick to matcha or Japanese green tea personally.

But I will yeet any British tea into the nearest harbor out of spite to being told tea is the best beverage ever.

[–] Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (8 children)

I am sorry... They gave you Yorkshire tea and expected you to be impressed? Please tell me you are joking.

In Canadian equivalent it's like trying to take a foreigner to Tim Hortons. Just because it's the historical cheap swill choice of the masses one participates in out of habit doesn't mean it is objectively good.

I prefer loose-leaf tea as well. I can't tell whether I prefer a sweet and relaxing cup of silver needle or a whiskey-strength brew of gyokuro. Genmaicha with matcha dust during a work day is a great little escape, and you can't go wrong with a big-leaf Chinese black tea.

Ironically, the Brits conquered the world only to shut themselves out of every culture they could have learned from.

[–] jpeps@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think people are overselling it. Typical British tea isn't amazing and it isn't trying to be. It's more like a simple slice of bread and butter when you're feeling peckish but there's nothing else to eat. It just hits the spot. Once you've acquired the taste, you experience it differently. Spend an hour walking home in the rain, get home and change into your jammies, then curl up on the sofa with a nice cuppa. Then it's amazing.

sips iced tea

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 3 months ago (5 children)

I just don't really understand the desire to drink bitter things in general. Alcohol, tea, and coffee all fall under this. "It's an acquired taste" is the same as "you just have to gaslight yourself into enjoying it."

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

“It’s an acquired taste” is the same as “you just have to gaslight yourself into enjoying it.”

I think there's some legitimacy to "You have to get over the shock of a very novel-tasting or feeling food before you can really figure out if you like it", but yeah, I suspect that about a lot of acquired tastes.
