I'm embarrassed this turkey calls himself a Canadian. I find the anti-American rhetoric revolting.
He just comes off as a raving lunatic.
This is talent?
farmerman wrote:yeh but Piffka, I have to agree with Tico on this, while satire is all youve defined, it must first be GOOD. His writing is a bit strange , like someone whos been up all weekend withouts sleep. I dont find him as entertaining as some of the Canadian humorists like Will Ferguson or the guy that Invented the "Dead dog Cafe".
I find Bill a bit on the disturbed side .
Agreed, and that's coming from a Canadian.
I'll say it again. Casselman is just a big embarrassment.
If he had a fraction of the sense of humor (or sense of the absurd) he thinks he has, he wouldn't have gotten so pissy about the link-editing of his post.

Only because he described it as such.
You know, in the sense that if I were to bake a pie, people would have to take my word for it.
Lol!
So, you can't bake a cherry pie, Billy boy?
Isn't that unamerican or something? or would that be apple?
Can she bake a cherry pie,
Johnny boy, Johnny boy?
Can she bake a cherry pie,
Darling Johnny?
She can bake a cherry pie
In the twinkling of an eye
But she's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother.
I think I took one example as satire but not another, both quickly read, I dunno.
I do see a penchant for repetitivo (my own word, probably not italian), agglomeration as additive. However, I have my own annoying habits and won't hold repetitivo against a body for long.
I gathered his point in coming here was to answer questions, basically instructional. I'm fine with instruction, hell, learning is a fat part of why I am here. I guess I like it sideways from Sunday, heh - information as it is part of conversation... that is my particular attraction, now near addiction.
Heck of a lot of posts for a bastard who snubbed us so quickly...saddest is that he probably isn't even reading this.
I relish the thought that he is..
I hate relish....why anyone would want relish on their burger is beyond me.
Y'know... that would be a good idea for a thread.
How do you like your burger??
Good bun, or perhaps some Brio bakery rustic, sliced thickly and toasted..
some humboldt grassfed beef at, oh, 82% or whatever the relatively fatty number is, I want my hamburger juicy and tasty, however unoften I eat them.
Take cast iron frying pan out of cupboard, turn on flame. Throw some sea salt on it. Fry burgers.
Add stuff -
thin sliced red onion, maybe or maybe not some fontina from Loleta cheese, a local dairy. Depends, but the meat is the thing.
Good pickles are good, ripe in season tomato slice, good.
Me, I may have thrown chili flakes in when I did the burger patties - y'never know, they are never the same from one time to the next.

Quote:The Hamburger
Beef chuck is the best cut of meat to use for burger patties. The fat content in chuck binds the patties perfectly without the need for added eggs. Add a slice of Jarlsberg or Gruyere cheese, a dollop of tomato and chilli relish…and you are on your way.
Neil Perry
He flogs his hamburger relish commercially - it's actually very good.
"Relish" on a burger is disgusting . . . and the chuck steak is the traditional meat for the hamburger for a very simple reason--it was originally known as a Hamburg steak, and hence, when ground or chopped, it forms a "hamburger" . . . your boy Perry don't know squat 'bout burgers . . . gruyere my ass . . .
IMO, a burger's gotta have tomatoes... nice to have grilled onions... needs mayo and catsup. No RELISH. Pickle, if any, on the side. The bun needs sesame seeds and should not be grilled.
What about beetroot then?
Beetroot burgers!?!? Seriously? Now I think that is taking vegetarianism a little too far.
I'm assuming the meat in a humburger is good. My favorite has lately been a brand of natural beef called
Coleman's. It just seems to have a better taste.
I dunno about the mayonnaise, really.... Must be a cultural thing. Americans use mayonnaise a lot, I gather, from swapping recipes here. I can't take a shine to it at all, myself. And I LOVE tomato sauce (sort of like ketchup?
) on my hamburger! In fact, I think I only have hamburger for my twice yearly hit of tomato sauce!

1 egg, fried
2 slices bacon, fried crisp
120 g minced meat pattie, fried
1 slice cheese
lettuce
¼ onion, sliced
¼ tomato, sliced
3 slices beetroot
1 pineapple ring

Cut hamburger roll in half. Assemble all ingredients between the two halves. Place under a grill and heat through.
Eat without knife and fork and without taking the whole thing apart
And being careful not to let the bits drop into your lap of course.
