The Tale of Dr. Pepper and "It's Not a Teriyaki!"

[Plaidman]

Anyone else reminded of that Animorphs scene where they went to the fastfood and asked for the cheeseburger hold the cheese to gain access to the yeerk pool?


....Guess I'm the only one here who would get that reference though.

^Nuh-uh! I love Animorphs!

It was a great series, even if most of it was ghostwritten.

I hated the final three books. Major depression there. I even shed a few tears.

I once went to one of the -no doubt one among thousands- places called "Cheeseburger In Paradise". One of their menu choices was indeed "A Cheeseburger without cheese" The description of it was even designed to make you feel kinda silly for ordering something like that at a places like that ^_^

There's a local chain on the coast that' s known for it's clam chowder, and they specialize in seafood. There is a section on the menu titled "Unseafood Stuff"

I can never bring myself to order Unseafood Stuff when I'm there....gotta' enjoy it when you're at the beach.

McDonalds cheeseburgers are different from their normal burgers in more ways then the fact they add cheese... like the onions.

The only difference in the cheeseburger and hamburger is the cheese.

Yyyyeah... exactly. If I go to a place that specializes in seafood (I just described around half of the restaurants in my town), I'm gonna order freaking SEAFOOD. I order pasta/poboys at Italian joints, and honking massive superdeluxe burgers at places with names like New Orleans Hamburger Company ^_^ ... If I go to eat at Deutsches Haus (or Kolb's when it was still around), I plan on getting Wiener Schintzel... I'm sure as hell not gonna order fried chicken from a fish joint (chances are, same oil, you'll get chikin that tastes like fish) nor vice versa. That's why I have never, and will never, set foot in the combination Long John Silver's/KFC chicken out by the airport >_>

tl'dr version -- If you go somewhere that specializes in a certain type of food, order that type of food; you'll be happier.

To each his own. If I were going to someplace called Deutsches Haus, I would be ordering sauerbraten. Unfortunately, all the restaurants where I used to get it have closed.

there are instances when you're in a car with friends (woo!) and someone wanted elsewhere, but was outvoted. Granted, typically the burgers stink at the taco joint, but... eh, watchugonna do?

Awwwww...*tosses IA a heaping plate of Sauerbraten and a big stein of beer*

Ahhhh... The perfect combination. Thanks.

The practise could be put to good use in the cheeseburger without cheese order .

Meh.

There are times when I'm tempting to go to McD's (shush, you!) and get the 2 cheeseburger extra value meal. Without cheese.

American cheese is NOT cheese. It's cheese food or product, FFS.

Cheeselike "food" substance...

Will not support bacterial or varminterial life...

May be stored indefinately...

Has been determined to be harmful to fish when used as bait...

That wouldn't be Mo's, would it? Yeah, I don't see the point in going to a seafood place and ordering something that isn't seafood.

Awwwww...*tosses IA a heaping plate of Sauerbraten and a big stein of beer*

Don't forget a nice side of kartoffelsalat!

Okay, now I'm craving some German food...!

so...you'll be ordering a meat product item minus the cheese product??

Some cheese show on the Food channel or one of its offspring put it this way: "When Europeans have little bits of cheese left over, they make fondue. When Americans have the bits left over, they make American cheese" (he was gracious enough to leave out the phrase "and a few mystery ingredients" for the latter)
