That freaky white supremacist who shot up the museum?

we used to contrast the difference as a mosaic here vs the American melting pot. for decades we actively encouraged newcomers to retain their comforts and customs while they organically made the place home. One of the best burger joints near me is owned by a Palestinian guy. Other than the fact he doesn't serve bacon, it's soooooooooooooo good.

Bacon has no place near a burger anyway.

Much better on toast with lettuce and tomato.

also people never assimilated (the great melting pot) except in white suburbia during the 50s.

Manifestly not true.

A facepalm? Really @Lanzman? Please, show me on this doll where the constitution inappropriately touched you.

dumbass.

^^^ Oh look. The poster child for stupidity is having a hissy fit.

Yea. cuz I'm the one who thinks America = Borg and facepalming every post that says its not.

dumbass. You are no patriot. Period.

Edited to add: By facepalming my post, you show you are the personification of what is wrong with America.

I'm Canadian... it's a condiment here.

Honest to God, I don't know why I ever bother engaging with you. You literally have the mentality of a five-year-old. I should put you on Ignore, but I hate doing that. So fuck it, no more responses to you.

Then don't. If you can't even think past "you're in America!! speak English!!" then I want nothing to do with you. Put me on ignore.

I think I'm going for more of a societal expectation than how well it works. Like that schoolhouse rock number about the "Great American Melting Pot"-you wouldn't ever be able to fly that on the CBC... even in the 70s.
although that might be where a decent contrast lies? watch "Fresh off the Boat" alongside "Kim's Convenience".

What the fuck is wrong with you

Some of you guys take this whole emoji thing just a little too seriously.

Possible. But ... any American responding to that post with anything other than agreement, obviously never read the constitution. That's why I asked in the first place. Sure, it was snarky. But ... why? it makes no sense to disagree with it.

And I thought I understood you.

Unless gherkins are involved, then I agree.

Controversial - cheese doesn't.

I was mildly amused at McD's one time (airport, needed food in a hurry) and they said they were out of hamburgers but could offer a cheeseburger. I pointed out that just skipping the cheese would convert it to a hamburger.

If the burger is just a burger, no other toppings or condiments, then cheese is a must. But, ... after you add mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles ... whatever else, cheese is optional.

Holy fucking shitballs, we agree on something!

Mods, ban this heathen

Tempting

Congratulations, @spot261. We've been trying to ban Packard for years, but may have to be satisfied with you

That reminds me, is Canadian bacon just called bacon there? . What do y'all called the fried stuff that Murica goes apeshit over?

We agree on a lot of things, you're just too reactionary and binary to see it

What the fuck are you doing to bacon EXCEPT frying it?

I suspect you mean rashers (strips of fat throughout, like thin-sliced belly pork), rather than back bacon (fat only on one side)?

EDIT: or do you mean maple-cured? Yeah, that's just soaking it in syrup before curing. Brits do a similar thing with honey.

generally we call Canadian bacon peameal or back bacon. the other stuff is just bacon.

i sometimes bake it, hanging from the top grill of the oven and catching the drips on a cookie sheet.

same as sausages... toss'em in the oven with a bit of vinegar to kill the grease.

again... being Canadian; no such thing as an option when it comes to cheese on a burger.
granted, I'm a bit preferential to something not cheddar.

I will own to cutting the fat off smoked bacon and using it instead of parma ham in bolognese. But that's the only time, and just because the bolognese has enough oil from the olive oil.

I like my burger gently cradled in the hands of kevin bacon as it is fed to me.

Ah, your MLK speech.

An Australian burger with the lot often includes pickled beetroot, grilled pineapple, and a fried egg.
