[quote=susankate;33197977]Would you eat a "Hamburger with the lot" Aussie style? It's been a while since I've had one but I'm feeling the urge to indulge lol:
Usual ingredients are meat patty, onions, bacon, egg, pineapple, tomato, lettuce, beetroot, cheese, barbecue/tomato sauce. I don't always have pineapple and beetroot but always have an egg.
How funny to find a thread on this subject. I married an Australian and lived there for 6 months. He had
lived here in the USA with me and he knew and loved our style of hamburgers. Well, I ordered one there and lo and behold it had carrots and beets on it. Yuk! I asked him why he didn't warn me?? It was awful!
I usually love trying new things, even weird things, but that just has too much in the mix for me. My taste buds wouldn't know which way to go first. Too many different types of flavors and textures at once to get a real appreciation for any of them IMO.
I don't understand why anyone would put a fried egg on a hamburger. EW.
Have you tried it?
I was actually surprised when I read somewhere that the addition of a fried egg to a hamburger wasn't common in the US.

I've heard that the addition of carrots is a Queensland thing.
As I've said earlier, I personally can do without the beetroot although others love it.
Of course, the quality of burgers is variable - some are terrible, some are great. A good rissole/patty and a good bun (the more toasted the better). I must admit that I don't mind a burger cooked using toasted turkish bread - one of my favourite work lunches years ago was sharing a massive hamburger on turkish bread (yes including fried egg) with a workmate on Fridays (it worked out at $5 each including chips).
Hubby had to work in Coffs Harbor, a touristy Australian beach town. He ordered a burger which cost $11 and had caramelized onions in it. He said the meat patty was flavorless, couldn't finish it.
Hey - Beans on Toast makes an excellent breakfast item. Butter two slices of toast, pour some baked beans over the slices and you have a wonderful brekkie.

It's not that uncommon - Steak and Shake offers a fried egg on their burgers.
