Also The Railway just re-opened and is very good.

i second the Railway, one of the best burgers i've ever had. bit pricey though.

Hmmm, burgers are pricey nowadays.

Seems like the hipsters have "re-invented" cheap fast food at a cost.

A bit like the obsession with making perfectly good ale taste like grapefruit.

and putting chips into little baskets or cups

[Traf]

And not using plates.

There, you've set me off again now.

Roof slates... where pigeons have shit. Who thought that'd make a great plate? Or a plank?

[Traf]

Correct, Micky.

Not too long ago, you could go in a pub and get burger, chips and a pint for about £5-£6

Now it's £20 and the beer is cloudy and tastes sour, whilst the burger comes on a bit of an old pallet with 6 chips in a brass teapot.

Miniature Beef Wellingtons on barbed wire, anyone?

Had a burger last Friday in Manchester.

I ordered a Haloumi Burger thinking I'd get a burger with a slice of haloumi. WRONG! What I got was a big bread roll with a lettuce leaf and slice of tomato with a slice of haloumi. No fucking meat!

 

Do I look like a fucking vegetarian for fuck's sake?

 

[Traf]

Ah, yes.

A Cheeseburger is a burger with cheese.
Halloumi is a cheese
A Halloumi burger has no burger.

I wonder how you got confused

that's quite funny

vegetarians can be fat* too though

especially ones who eat halloumi burgers everyday

 

(*I presume that's what you meant, no offence like)

Superb, aren't they?

The huge spine for a bit of tuna has to be my favourite

If somebody put bangers and mash in a barrel glass in front of me I think I'd send it back. 

How the f*ck are you supposed to eat it properly?

Late 70's early 80's, whilst a juvenile Ronald and his yank oppos were trying to figure out how to grow to Wimpy size, The Great American Disaster on Lower Bridge Street in Chester was knocking out arguably the best burgers I've ever tasted all served on wooden platters.
