They finally did it, they finally figured out how to make large burgers that don't require a ladder, stacks of napkins, a plate, wooden burger sticks, a change of clothes, a bathroom nearby, an ambulance outside, a cardiologist on the phone, and a team of overworked employees to clean the mess you left behind.

Jesus. I never thought I'd want to go to China for the burgers.

And it's a street vendor, you know that would be so cheap! UGH!!!

I have bad news friend. Chinese burgers are sooo sweet. The bread is sweet, the sauces are sweet, they pack it full of sweet shit. I don't know what happened, but they completely fucked up burgers. At least, the many I tried were all extremely sickly sweet and unpalatable. I was there for 5 months and I ate a lot, often at the recommendation of locals.

I ate two burgers that were not sweet. One at a McDonald's, one at a bar in Kunming run by a french dude.

Damn. That's really disappointing. So, the US lives to borger another day.

To be honest, you shouldn't be eating borgers in China anyway. They have so much other great stuff to eat. The western stuff they have is often very far off the mark

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Oh, for sure. I've actually been to China, great food.

Just didn't realize they had burgers outside of the US fast food spots I avoided.

They won before the war started

Roujiamo is considered the Chinese equivalent to the Western hamburger and meat sandwiches.[3][4] Roujiamo is considered to be one of the world's oldest types of hamburgers, since the bread or the "mo" dates back to the Qin dynasty (221–206 BC) and the meat to the Zhou dynasty (1045–256 BC).

You can also make {cai|veggie}jiamo. I made them and served sauteed capsicum, fried cabbage and chilli, and tudousi (julienned potato) on the table, then slung out the mo off the barbeque for people to slice and stuff their own

I've been to a restaurant that serves a im-vegan one that is among my favorite all-time sandwiches.

Like, sitting down and you randomly think "damn, that was a good sandwich" kind of sandwich.

Vegan food in China is light-years ahead of America.

Grilled pineapple slices on a burger... immediate kinship throughout the global south.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

It's really good! I feel like most of the the people who dislike pineapple on pizza is due to the fact that baking chunks of shitty quality pineapple is pretty bad. But that's an issue with execution, not concept. Pineapple's flavour profile, sour and sweet, isn't inherently antithetical to a pizza. Tomato is also sour, sweet and a fruit. Throwing raw canned tomatoes onto a pre cooked pizza base for 15 mins would suck as well. If it weren't just a burst of slightly too sweet warm pineapple juice when you bit into it it would be fine. Unfortunately, better quality pineapple and preparing it better would eat into profits and people have already drawn a line in the sand, so it's beyond salvaging.

people who work in food service fucking stun me

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Only problem is that's at least three meals for me and I am not a little dude.

Bet it's delicious though. Even 15ish years ago when I went the food in china was fire.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Every food I come up in my mind seems to just pop up in china. The civilian portable MRE (that's not Tactical), wide instead of tall burger.

Given my gift of prophecy, be on the lookout for ice cream cone shaped street food made out of a bread, filled with savoury ingredients
