I’m amazed you got this far in life and have never tried a whopper Scott!
If you can eat all that stuff that makes even Zimmerman cringe I’m sure you can handle it....extra Mayo is the key!

That's funny. I don't make smooth, I don't like ripe banana and I don't eat wonder bread. That's why I never compare myself to Elvis.
Thank you for reading, thank you very much.

I've had one Whopper in my life. Was on a cross-Canada trip with my family at 13 years old. Myself and 2 other family members got the worst food poisoning.
The only illness I've had that felt worse was beaver fever.I have never been to Burger King since.
I never went often but I stopped going to Burger King for a lack of cleanliness. We have 3 close by and they all suffer from a hygiene concern. Dirty, greasy, you name it. Don't know if it's the same in different parts but the cleanest ones are McDonalds and A&W (separate company from the US A&W) and the A&W has that much better food.

Cogi, I think your food poisoning was due to the mayonnaise. Can't be trusted, it's the work of the devil. That's why it should only be used in devilled eggs.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, had some good Thai food to celebrate the day.
I used to enjoy Burgerking for lunches when I was 19, would grab one and head down to the beach and sit there in the sun.
I usually eat a peanut butter and honey sandwich for lunch most days, somehow it never seems to get old.
I always use the natural peanut butter that you have to stir, had hippie parents...
Have been making banana milkshakes lately, using a perfectly aged, frozen banana, a shake of some cinnamon, a small scoop of ice cream, some milk, and its perfect.

Careful, some of us resemble that remark.
I like to make my own. The Mrs., not so much, she likes the commercial taste of that creamy smooth wall paper paste served in a plastic container. I would use it for drywall filler but it's the wrong colour.
You guys, PB is so easy to make and tailor to your liking.
Right, I did escape due to the kindness of women one of whom was the quite famous deservedly so Millie Dresselhaus. She had left a note in my homework bin saying "Please see me" that I didn't see until a few days before the final. She asked me if I needed these credits to graduate and I said yes. She told me to take the final and promise not to be a physicist.
BTW this is a 100% verbatim true story.

I last had a whopper in 1985. I was told that whataburger in Tx is good. I cannot understand why anyone would consider white castle to sell food. I don't think I've eaten a McD burger since the mid 90s.
But I do remember back in the early 80s being taken with a friend to a restaurant in london and being asked how I wanted my burger cooked. This was a decade before my 'wipe its **** and bring it to the table' levels of blue so was lost on me at the time..

I can't call myself a mayonnaise connoisseur, but my favourite by far is:
There are sooo many foods that the Japanese just do better.
Milk
Eggs
Mayo
Beef
Those were the big surprises for me.
BTW I have no problem with burgers, or fast food that's real, it's just those chains selling SadAndDisappointingBurgers I don't care for. I recently posted pics from a little joint near here called Paul Patates that sells righteous hotdogs, fries, poutine and burgers. Where I'm from folks argue about the best fish and chips places, and not one of the contenders has more than one outlet, but they all have fresh fish and make the chips from potatoes, not some frozen junk. While I regard A&W as the best of a bad lot, and a very real step above the competition, I would rather have a burger from the likes of Paul Patates any day. (I was reading about a place not far from here that is part of a small, local chain, but the original location, which apparently has been there since 1929; they must be doing something right.)
Which reminds me, the virus killed Halifax Burger Week this year.

I only tried to make my own mayo once, a long time ago. Unfortunately it was a spur-of-the-moment thing and I really didn't have the right ingredients. Most importantly, the only oil we had was some cold-pressed organic corn-oil (who's a hippie, Cal?) which had a strong corn flavour. So the mayo had a very yellow colour and tasted like raw corn. I still kind of want to make some, but that experience put me off. I like the notion of the rural Frenchman whisking farm fresh egg yolks in his copper bowl to make the Sunday mayonnaise for the family lunch...
Definitely a personal opinion. Milk you have to be kidding and cheese is almost unknown in Japan. BTW I've been to Japan many times and have Japanese family.
I should qualify my statement about the milk. My in-laws live in the countryside (~3000 people in their village) and the milk is local.
I've never tasted milk that good in my life. Same with the eggs. Seriously.
No problem I never drink milk and rarely eat eggs, but all the wonderful offshoots of milk like clotted cream, farmers cheese, creme fraiche, etc. are virtually unknown so the generalization of a widespread interest in great milk such as in France or Italy is IMO not applicable. My apologies this is how the food fights go, everyone has been to some farm or out of the way place that makes something incomparable that no one else gets to try.
The Kewpie OTOH has no excuse. 🙂
I'm sticking to my guns on the Kewpie. I don't care what's in it, I love it.
Cheese? You are correct, sir. The local supermarket in my wife's home town has one type of cheese that basically looks and tastes like Velveeta. 😱
The taste aspect of food is totally subjective, the rest is personal preference (even political) best left alone.
