What Your Burger Says About You

You are very gluttonous. Even if you're full, you'll still clear your plate. You are the ultimate foodie. You're picky about food quality, but you're not picky about eating strange things. You are a very open eater. You like many types of tastes, and you'll eat just about anything. You tend to gravitate toward strong, pungent foods. Even if it means having bad breath! You consider yourself a healthy eater. But you're not about to sacrifice taste or quantity! You have trouble making decisions quickly. Everything looks good to you... especially at a restaurant. You are creative, open minded, and friendly. You are interested in all types of food and new dishes.

Hmmm... that is a fairly inaccurate assessment.

I used to clear my plate on account of not being full; lately (last 2-3 years) I get full. And I stop. I think this point was decided because I like cheese on a burger.

I am picky about food quality, but I'm also picky about strange things. I'm a lot more open to oddities if I'm cooking; I'm extremely conventional when eating out. I think this point was based on eating burgers rare. I used to get them well done, but I can be taught. They do taste better medium rare or rare.

I'm an open eater because I like pickles? Oy. To be honest, I'd rather have a dill pickle on the side, but if they slice that sucker instead of supplying it in spear form, it goes on there. I kind of thought that was standard practice? I mean both McKangaroo and Gourmet Food include pickles on their cheap, bargain burger...

I like onions on my burger. I do like garlic. These scents, while strong on the breath, are not quite the same thing as bad breath, which is caused by organisms other than those you intended to eat.

Whole wheat buns are good, but I don't consider myself a healthy eater. I try to keep some focus, and I'd prefer all my ingredients are fresh, organic, and locally grown or raised. But, damn, just because I like whole wheat doesn't make up for the bacon and cheese! =)

I'm thinking the "having trouble making decisions" bit comes from the bacon. Not sure how that maps out, but if you asked anyone who worked with me for the last ten years, I walk in, find the Everett burger (bacon, cheddar, and barbecue sauce) and I order it. It's a great simplification, but at the places we all went to team lunches that was generally exactly what I ordered. Except when we went to Red Robin and I got the Banzai burger, but the quiz didn't even mention teriyaki or pineapple.

I expect the "creative, open minded" bit came from the BBQ sauce. It is not creative and open minded. It's closed minded. A burger without BBQ sauce - except in certain cases, such as the aforementioned Banzai burger - is a poor excuse for a slab of dead cow.

Speaking of which, the fact that I will - when possible - substitute the dead cow with some Kobe beef or, when on a budget, bison, might have earned me some points towards either the food snobbery or the open mindedness, but they never asked those questions...

I find it funny that this one also mentions tool boxes... although I'm not out for the whole velvet-lined thing. I'm fine with an oil-resistant material that slows oxidization...

Me, place value on nature? Who'd have thunk it? =)

take the WHAT BAD BOOK ARE YOU test.


and go to mewing.net. not as good as reading a good book, but way better than a bad one.





I notice that I happened to like the bad book popfiend was and this one as well. Based on some of the other results I've seen in this meme, as well as the tone of the questions, I think perhaps a different major would have been more suitable for its author - English just doesn't work well for those who lack basic reading and writing (specifically: capitalization) skills. =)

✓ I miss somebody right now.  (Wife and kids are 300 miles away...)	✓ I don't watch much TV these days.	✓ I own lots of books.  (Unfortunately, they're all in boxes.)
✓ I wear glasses or contact lenses.	× I love to play video games.	✓ I've tried marijuana.  (Once. And I proved that I am completely incompetent at properly inhaling. It did absolutely nothing for me, so I haven't done it since.)
✓ I've watched porn movies.  (They didn't impress me much.)	× I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship.	× I believe honesty is usually the best policy.  ("Usually" is a bit too vague for me to agree with this one.)
✓ I curse sometimes.  (Often in Donald Duck speech...)	✓ I have changed a lot mentally over the last year.	× I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.
