Burger Etiquette

Curses on double and triple decker burgers.

You know the ones. After three bites you have two quarter sized pieces of bun left to try and manage the remaining hulking mass of burger. What’s the proper etiquette when you have sauce all the way to your wrists and what was once your burger is now an unappetizing pile of carrion strewn all over the table?

(While formulating an answer, bear in mind your wife/girlfriend is sitting across from you taking this all in. From the look on their face, they suspect you are a disgusting pig.)

They already know your a disgusting pig if they've spent more than an hour around you, so just go ahead and enjoy the burger!

i don't beleive in proper etiquette for non proper etiquette food. my wife loves everything i do, including being messy, its what a REAL man does. lifes to short to try to be so upity about everything. who invented this etiquette anyways?

anyways, if your concerned about eitiquette for a serious reason, don't get a hamburger, if its not being serious, then.....i say each time you take a bite, just adjust the burgers back on the bun, it tends to push out to the back side, just use the gripping hand hand tap them back into the bun, hardly any mess or anything.

Well if your married then you've already done all the impressing you need to do. Go for it just make sure you don't git your fingers.

If your dating then you have not yet set the hook in that fish so you might want to approach in a more civilized maner.


Good thing CaFordDuddette does not read my posts.

You mean it actually takes you guys more than one bite to eat those burgers?

I guess I better slow down, then.

Most burgers come wrapped in paper so I just leave the wrapping on and open one end to bite into. Holds it together nicely and all the guck is caught by the wrapper (most of the time!)

Where did you find a burger that has a meat patty larger than the buns?! I end up with two (or three) ketchup- and mustard-soaked buns that slide around, but the meat's usually gone long before that.

"Mongul like food; GARGOYLE, MORE FOOD".

Just grab the burger by both hands and eat it like a man.

If you're a woman, do the same.

I think I know what it is.

if you order a double or triple instead of 2 singles .....without french fries to much together to form a fence sort of around the Burger when you are eating, the chance are it will fall apart.

I can see you sitting there trying to hold it all together... with a dumb-founded look on your face .....staring back at your wife ..with a mouth full of food and trying say to her.....Mell fift moo vonted nee new mot veen foe msy ont vreing nee voo murger doints
