Apparently a green chicken curry in a bread roll (think baguette) is good also.

Would that be a green chicken curry burger in the states?

^ True that, but ...

What-a-bout a flat sausage in a bread roll?

Rastelli's called its food innovation an improvement on traditional hot dogs, describing it as "flat for more surface area, easier condiment-holding ability, and no casing." (Rastelli’s )

No worries, they have existed for a few years down in Malaysia.

I did have some green chicken curry in a buttered roll once ... admittedly it was nice ... but looks nothing like your photo above.

Funnily enough, I recently came across the usage of a "sandwich" for a burger. Cannot remember now where, but the context was a burger joint saying "Do you want the full meal or just the sandwich".

Yup, HW's avatar proudly shows where he believes it should go.

Don't go there Dirk, just let it go for God's sake man!



Lettuce should always go on the bottom though..

Isn't that just common sense?

The lettuce acting as a barrier from the filling to keep the bun dry (not wet)?

^Common sense isn't always common. You just fucking had to go there didn't you?

Have you ever had a sticky rice burger in Thailand, Dave? You can get then in some 7-11s.

There is no bread at all. The bread roll part is actually two slabs of sticky rice.


Not my pic

^ I've seen them, though not been tempted yet.

... yet. Maybe I should try one for the experience?


Nev, BTW, is that a or a ?

Glad we’re all on the same page with that one.

Yes, worth trying, so long as you like sticky rice.

From memory, the patty part wasn't particularly good, but most 7-11 burger patties are also poor. The only 7-11 burger I like is the 40 baht double pork one.

Post up a few pics next time you have one.

Couple of the burger and one of the packet so I know what to look for.

Cheers

I made a sandwich with leftover pad krapow. Pretty tasty I thought.

That's why it's lightly toasted!
