Do you think burgers are nasty in Australia?

Question

They have a lot of burgers called 'salad burgers', and they have beets, lettuce, carrots, egg, swiss cheese, all kinds of nasty stuff that good burgers just shouldn't have. I didn't want to be an ignorant American, but I found no redeeming value in the burgers there. They didn't even have American cheese. Food in Australia is generally awful, I found it was best to stick with chicken.

Answer 1

If you went looking for and ate the same kind of foods that you usually eat back home in the US then I'm not in the least bit surprised that you only have bad memories. Part of travel for me is sampling the local cuisine. Here in Australia we have some amazing fresh produce and we are well known for our incredible seafood. If you stuck to burgers and food from "back home" then you missed out on a lot of brilliant tastes. I worked in a big hotel in Sydney and used to send guests from the US to all sorts of restaurants in our city and 9 times out of 10 they would come back raving about them. It sounds to me like you didn't get the most out of your trip to Australia food-wise. If you ever venture back "downunder" again  get in touch with me, I'm very confident that I could recommend several places that would change your mind about Australian food if you are prepared to try something a little different from what you usually eat.

Answer 2

burgers here (in Aussie)have a bit of taste if you get all the extras on them (burger with the lot) & give you a good feed

not like the USA where you get a bun with 10% meat 40% fat & 50% of god knows what pretendind to be meat that tasts like greese

Answer 3

depends where you bought your burger from, the classic aussie burger does have salad, its just not a burger without cheese, beetroot, lettuce, onion, pineapple, bacon and maybe an egg.........mmmmmmmmmmmmm   its the best. and why should we use american cheese??  we are australian and use aussie cheese......
