I hate meal prepping but it's the reason I've lost 20 lbs since January. I don't prep burgers like this godless heathen, though

Fuck you all, I would eat the shit of that "burger!"

Storytime!

Years ago, I worked a contract w/ a long-term post-op elders' facility, and learned first-hand that those with dysphagia (difficulty/inability to swallow) can often eat the same food as their neighbors — provided it's Vitamixed first. 🤓

The thing is? Aside from the mouth-feel, it tastes exactly the same as a perfect bite, every time. 😶

For instance, a cheeseburger w/ the works becomes an orchestral synthesis of its ingredients, without the chewing. So, no crunchy lettuce or piquant tomato skin, etc., but then again... Those are atypical to the US "burger" at this point anyhow, eh? 😅

Homogeneity isn't always good, sometimes you gotta clear the palate. Compromise would be to blend individual ingredients and put them next to each other

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 8 months ago

Yep, we did that, too. Despite the slew of exploitive, profit-focused practices elsewise, the nutrition dept made absolutely sure we were a resident-first, shareholders-last kinda team.

Fuck the haters, I wonder if it actually tastes better like that

C'mon, it fits perfectly and I'm sure it tastes fine. There's something to be said for spatial efficiency.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're right, and I'm not one to talk, really. The amount of squashed, shitty lunches you eat doing bush work is astronomical.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What is considered a bush work?

How long do you think that piece of salad is going to stay tasty, though?

2 years ago I bought 500lbs of pemmican and i just munch on that when I get hungry.

Ah, the "Rimworld diet".

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Looks better than those canned cheeseburgers I guess

That is NOT from Glorious Nation of Denmark! It is German or possibly Austrian.

It's Swiss. That whole awful concept has its own website.

Early 2000's? I'm guessing a novelty item

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I found a cheeseburger in a can in a Krogers in Tn years ago and bought it. It was the single most putrid item I have ever attempted to eat, soggy, misshaped bun, gray meat, lifeless lettuce and tomato slice. Didn't have a microwave, so heated it up in a toaster over (which the instructions on the can recommended). Meat had a odd metallic taste to it, so only managed one bite.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 10 points 8 months ago

When the apocalypse hits, canned cheeseburgers are going to be the diamonds of the wastelands. But nobody ever finds out they're actually horrible, they're purely valuated on the idea of eating a cheeseburger.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Kinds depends on the bun and fillings but I think a burger is definitely a food you can just squash together.

Arguably in general it can make a sandwich better. Yes burgers are not sandwiches but I just remember some QI anecdote of some person always wrapping their sandwich in cling film then sat on it before eating it.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The big issue is the salad IMO. I don't want to eat salad that has been stored like that for even half a day.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Very true. Thought about before posting.

But if you have like a really unhealthy burger without salad. Tomatos might be fine, but I don't want them wetting the buns too much.

[–] sudo@lemmy.today 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes burgers are not sandwiches

??

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

It's a difference in terms. You could order a chicken sandwich in the US and get something that no European would call a sandwich, but a burger.

In the US, a "burger" typically refers to a ground meat patty (beef, chicken, etc.) served on a bun, while a "sandwich" is more broadly defined as any filling between two slices of bread. In the UK, a burger is generally considered a specific type of sandwich, specifically one with a patty in a bun. While Americans may use the terms somewhat interchangeably, Brits typically distinguish between a burger and a sandwich, with a burger being a subset of the sandwich category

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 2 points 8 months ago

You can sit on it, or you can press it with something flat and heavy. Lan Lam includes squashing for an hour as a required step in her Simple rules for better sandwiches (Youtube), but she uses a cutting board and a pot. Pressing helps keep a big sandwich together and it also mixes the flavors a little.

Jamming it in a jar doesn't really work for keeping it together (that burger looks like it needs to be eaten with a spoon), but it could still help disperse the flavors.

As long as I have access to an air fryer to reheat it, I can work with that. Definitely will be a sad, soggy burger if you only have a microwave.

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The key is microwaving the patty but not the bun. But at that point you might as well pack the bun separately. And condiments/toppings too so the bun doesnt get soggy.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

It would be even better to keep all ingredients separated until it's lunch time.

Right? I've eaten many vending machine burgers. This looks delicious by comparison.

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

For lunch? Great. Tomorrow? Okay. The next day? That soggy ass bread is gonna be worthless. Next day? Mold.

Salad doesn't stay fresh that way for long, and not-fresh salad is kinda gross.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How do you get that out nicely? Turn it upside down and smack its bottom?
