why not just go all out and add candied apples, avocado and soy sauce at that point? Hell, maybe a combination of pasta, pickles, chocolate fudge and strawberries on top of that patty and cheese would be LE RANDUM enough for these Australians.

It's more offensive to me that it still has lettuce, tomato, and mayo. If they REPLACED the lettuce, tomato, and mayo with the pineapple, beetroot, egg, and some other better-fitting sauce it would be okay, but putting it ALL together sounds awful.

Beets should never be on a burger, that's an affront to traditional American cuisine.. A fried egg or pineapple can work in the proper context. A breakfast burger is exactly the kind of slop you need the morning after a hard night of binge drinking. Pineapple, teriyaki and onion/onion rings works great.

anon its been a thing since the 90s at least, wouldnt be surprised if the McOz and the Hungry Jack's version were around in the 80s as well
they started doing them when they tried the McRib a few times and the shit failed cuz we dont really like ribs down in Aus/NZ

in australia the definition of a good burger is "burger with as much shit on it as possible"
the best burgers you'll ever have in your life are always in a roadhouse (like a gas station) on a highway in bumfuck nowhere.

Pickled beets are basically just a sweeter firmer kind of pickle.

is this pickled beets? that would probably be great actually

[Anonymous No.20108587]

Very slightly, if that. Basically soaked in water. I like my beets vinegary, and every can I come across tastes like water with red food dye

What's the difference between beets and beetroot? Based on those pictures they look identical to me.

[Anonymous No.20109225]

what do you think beets is short for?

[Anonymous No.20109255]

>>20109225
I've never known it to be short for anything. Beets are beets, like potatoes are potatoes.

beetroot doesn't belong in existence. Egg and pineapple are whatever.

egg on burger is great and ive heard pineapple is okay too just not together, dunno what the fuck theyre thinking with the beets though

[Anonymous No.20110108]

Beetroot is nasty and doesn't belong anywhere. Sickeningly sweet with a nasty texture that has neither crunch nor chew, toss it.

Fried egg, sure. Pineapple, would but I'm Australian and therefore psychotically in love with Hawaiian pizza. Nice acidic bite and good texture, even better roasted.

Burgerland denizen here. I actually like the idea of pickled beet on a burger better than pickled cucumber. I never liked the texture of pickled cucumbers on burgers. Beets seem like they would compliment the ground beef a lot more effectively.

Yes, no, yes. Australia is mostly just a cargo cult of America based on an old copy of Life magazine that washed up on the beach in the 60s, but the beetburgers are pretty good if you got them without the egg.

[Anonymous No.20112796]

Australia just follows the USA in terms of food trends and then we try to make it our own and usually fuck it up in the process. Burgers, craft beer, BBQ, etc we just fuck it up and don't do it properly. Everyone here is obsessed with maximising profit and just chase trends from overseas because the local population just follow and gobble it up. Australia is fucking doomed.

it's sweet, sour, savory, creamy
so yes
I can have a burger with tomato jam, salty crispy bacon, balsamic dressed mesclun and maybe some creamy goat cheese or blue cheese. This is just a culture that actually likes beets on a salad bar, so they use it. Americans are just pickier about brussels sprouts and beets, with squeamish palates.
