Hamburger lube

[M_M_c_C_a_l_l]

What do you use to lube your hamburger

• Ketchup
• Yellow Mustard
• Dijon or other Foo Foo Mustard
• Mayonnaise
• A1 or other steak sauce
• Barbecue Sauce
• Thousand Island
• Ranch
• Other store-bought product (explain below)
• Other homemade product (explain below)

Kent’s vita-mix thread prompted this. What do you use to lube your hamburger? Select as many as you typically use! My preference at home is for garlic-heavy aioli, but I like the thousand island-ish “secret sauces” that places like In-N-Out often use.

Flawed poll!

You left out "I don’t overcook my burgers. I make them rare and juicy, and don’t need no lube, . . . just like my women! "

Mustard goes on hot dogs and pastrami not burgers and, God forbid, not on turkey sandwiches. Ketchup does not go on hot dogs. Period, end of story.

I think it’s a geographical thing. People from parts of the country that specialize in casseroles, lutefisk, fried “steak”, okra and Frito pie have it backward. That’s MY story and I’m sticking to it.

What about the bacon, cheese, onion, lettuce and tomato?

Those are toppings, not lube

Then it’s a flawed poll because you didn’t include Astro-Glide and K-Y jelly . . . nor did you include PAM and butter (or margarine if you live in Texas or Ohio).

Oh, on the contrary, there’s a choice for any "other store-bought product " that you happen to put on your burger. And you’re in luck-- according to the manufacturer’s website, Astroglide is non-toxic and ingesting small amounts should not be harmful.

TMI.

Flawed poll… where is “Sour Cream”? Relegating this superior choice to “other…” shows an unconscionable lack of… something.

PS: I never put ketchup on burgers, but I regularly put either ketchup or mustard on dogs (never both). I do regularly (not always) put mustard on a burger. The best mustard for a burger is a coarse-ground dijon (GP “Country,” e.g.), and it has to be on the bottom half of the bun.

I often put guacamole on my veggie burgers. I think that could be considered a lube.

Mayo

For a board that considers itself classy, I find the mayo use disturbing.

Yum! I use guacamole on veggie sandwiches all the time, but I rarely think to put it on a burger.

Classy… our logo is a foul-mouthed medieval homunculus with crumbs in his beard…

Dijon is the ONLY lube in my opinion. See Facebook page.

Exactly.

And guacamole is a topping, not a lube, unless it is the consistency of Brylcreem (feh), then I’d let it pass.

You should bring those pictures on over here. Mustard or not, that morel burger of yours was a thing of unimaginable beauty.

Here you go Melissa.

These were taken from my iPhone so not the best quality.
