So, we've been in Germany for a while, and when Tamara recently placed hamburgers on the menu (I take the veggie version due to my persnickety and often peeved pancreas) I was quite excited, until I started dealing with the bun.
Why does the bun matter. I can't explain it, it just does. And, so these two small complaints, though piddly have been getting me out of sorts the last few days as I ate the veggie burgers and the subsequent leftovers.
I looked at Kulturvergleiche's blog, but didn't find a comparison on this topic.
Here are my complaints.
Number one - huge buns (from one store). I have to cut almost half of the bun off in order to enjoy eating the hamburger (I circle cut the bun so it is simply smaller in diameter - going in half didn't really work).
Number two - unsliced buns (from all stores). the buns are unsliced. that means you have to cut the buns in half in order to make a hamburger bun. For me this results in uneven top and bottom slices of bread - for instance a concave bottom and an obtuse top.
Like always, I don't even think about writing the most ovious differences like bread.
ReplyDeleteMy husband actually likes to use Kaiserrolls for our veggie burgers - sometimes the patties are just too big here for the regular hamburger buns.

ReplyDeleteGood point on the veggie burgers. They don't get smaller with cooking.
The smaller buns here in Germany were still big enough for the veggie burgers.
