Gherkins/Dill pickle on burgers

I'd sooner eat the pickle and throw the burger away!

I unashamedly need the fix of a Big Mac Meal and cheeseburger once a month. Nothing else will do when I'm surfing on hormones.

any pickled anything is divine - pick them off to anger gods

1. Chick Fil-A chicken biscuits with their 2 pickle slices are awesome. McDonalds has adopted this style, but it's simply just not the same as the original Chick Fil-A makes theirs delicious with religious-zealotry.

2. Where is the option for "Order with extra pickles"?

i order all my mcburgers plain, so would definitely pick off the pickle (and then probably run the patty under a hot running tap for a bit, to get rid of errant gherkin juice)

"Chick Fil A Chicken Biscuits".

Translation?!

biscuit - savory scone eaten with gravy,

savoury buttermilk scone

Oh. I thought she meant that I had spelled Chick Fil-A wrong.

Hein? Chick Fil A = chicken fillet, with some "buttermilk" "scones" on the side?!

Chicken plus scones? My mouth has sort of dried up! Hm! I suppose that is why the gravy is there.

Is the gravy like, on the side, like KFC chicken gravy? It is not amazing gravy but sometimes you gots to do wots you gots to do (ie you are drunk).

Anyway, I was wrong. They put it on a bun. There are no Chick-Fil-A's in Chi-town proper. B/c we're a sinful place, and C-F-A is a Godly establishment.

Chicken biscuit!

Dry?? Noooooo. Buttery, buttery moist warm biscuit with (saline-injected) fried chicken! MOIOIOIOIOIST!

Chicken in the middle of a soggy scone! Right! I got it! Perhaps I should try making one of these and pour over a jugs worth of Bisto. Waaarghhhahahahhahahaa nom nom.

Scones and biscuits are NOT AT ALL the same. I gave up on scones long ago. Biscuits are soft and moist and layery-flakey. Scones are made of talc and dust, held together by despair.

Soggy hell! They are moist and soft. Like if a scone were good.

chicken biscuit is one of the world's great treasures!

i was just lamenting the lack of chik-fil-a in the north with a friend yesterday and commented on the awesomeness of the pickles. i think they key is that there's no other crap on their, just pickly goodness to add to that already wonderful chicken.

Nooo..... not the 'biscuits' debate again. I feel kind of sick when I think of biscuits or scones with gravy. The only savoury biscuits I know of are dog biscuits. But with Wiki as my teacher I now understand. Still disgusted though....

there's a chik-fil-a in the nyu dining hall right by washington sq park. in theory you need a valid university id to get in, but security is totally oblivious in my experience.

woahhhhh

ya. if you ever want to go, let me know.

But the biscuit 'debate' is a classic!

Anyway I have decided that I will have a pint of gravy for tea tonight so thanks ilx.

Manufacture of scones and manufacture of biscuits is the same apart from buttermilk going into biscuits and milk into scones.

the only biscuits i have had have been at KFC in LAX, and they weren't great, but soon i hope to sample PROPER BISCUIT

we don't have those (Chick-Fil-A) up here in the Canadark. but just wondering - is the "A" part pronounced ah or ay?

Ay. At least here.

I think it's supposed to be like "fillet"

Anyway I have decided that I will have a pint of gravy for tea tonight so thanks ilx.

Umm.... You're to just fill up a tea pot with gravy??

tea is the name of the meal as well as the drink.

You drink gravy from boats if you're feeling classier than just straight from the jugg.

Question: Is "tea" the meal the same as "dinner"? Is it the big last meal of the day?

lol British people don't understand biscuits

Jesse, it can be - the further north you go the more likely this is to be true. The other option is tea = afternoon tea, taken at 4 or 5pm and involving tea and ideally scones with clotted cream and jam.

;-p

I don't know what clotted cream is but it sounds a) gross, and b) delicious.

Biscuits are not an oddity like Marmite or chittlerings or other weirdness-- they're a bread product and are accessible to everyone of all nations.

Using the excuse of "still moving", I had a double-cheeseburger with extra pickles and mustard only from the BK drive-thru for dinner last night. That is the best possible way to have a burger.

Clotted cream is like the best, most delicious, thickest cream you have ever had.

Tea = last meal of the day yes.
Unless it is SUPPER which is the last SNACK of the day. But no-one really has this, do they?
Actually - someone did use the phrase around me recently and I sort of giggled because so posh rly.

Tea is also a delicious drink but why muddy the gravy further.

All cream is disgusting btw but I have no urge to take this further. just stating my opinion for wot passes as the record.

In the US South "dinner" = midday meal (lunch) and
"supper" = last meal (dinner)

Tea (beverage) = *meh*

(though some sweet tea can pass for dessert)

Sweet tea = yeeeeeesh no, begone! Strong tea with skimmed milk is the way to have it. It's getting even WORSE now I have started drinking this random green tea which is incredibly bitter and I'm sort of starting to really digg it.

I will sometimes drink tea if I have no other options for caffeine. Although a fellow-ILXor suggested I try tea for post-lunch caffeine when coffee would result in tweaking. As she put it, "tea--it's not SO bad...."

Mostly I like slighty sweet iced tea. YUM.

And no, it's not b/c I'm an American and I haven't been exposed to "real" tea or "good" tea.

It's because I'm contrary.

I had the new (to me) Spicy Veggie during my first trip to McDonalds for about five years. It tasted like dirt.

Those are not an option at my local McD's

Maybe a UK thing.

Red shit oozing out is sweet and sour sauce, which they claim is sweet chili.

Also, their fries are still appalling. I have never met anyone who prefers them to Burger King.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

pickles on subway subs, well nice

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

82% of ILX can't be wrong.
