   Oh in terms of burgers and what I like on ‘em. I like lettuce and tomatoes, slopped in mayo under a slice of American cheese. The bun + burger + cheese + tomato + lettuce + mayo combo of a bite = amazing. I have yet to try onions. Pickles throw things off a bit for me but are still nice.

   Man Ayesha, what’s with all these random FOBs infiltrating your blog?
   I’m 100% on board with Saqib. You need a lot of mayo (learned from the wise Aamir) cheese, lettuce, tomato, and absolutely NO KETCHUP.
   Cheese, tomato, lettuce, and a globs of mayo pretty much make any sandwich great.

   You’re right, no ketchup. A lot of Desis put ketchup because they’re used to masala kabob “burgers” which need ketchup to offset them.

   Again, though, for me tomato = key. Thin for sandwiches, thick for burgers!

   Nothing like ketchup to ruin a perfectly good meal– yes I’m saying this right after admitting to put it on my hot dog.

   Osman, anyone who has seen you make a sandwich knows you are a mayo enthusiast… you spread it around with a frosting spatula!

   Speaking of enthusiams, it’s never too late to start Food Enthusiast Monthly… maybe in blog form! http://www.foodenthusiast.com

   Ketchup and mustard are awesome on both hot dogs and burgers.

8. Osman May 27th, 2008 at 4:23 pm 8

   Anyone who puts anything more than mustard and onions on their hotdog is a communist.

   asa sister,
   are u sure these hot dogs were being zabihah-halaal, and not just halaal or zabihah or halaal-zabihah or kosher-haram or kosher-kosher-halaal-zabihah-halaal?

    You daa man Waasiq,

    I also ktsup on both burgers and hot dogs.

    To the rest of you desofobic ABCDs, there aint nothin desi about the ketsup.

    Spelling Desiphobic as DesiFOBic. Coicidence, or intended? That is the question.

    I must say though that while I do say “no ketchup” I’m not scared of it or attributing it to Desis. I’ve just noticed that most of my ABCD friends, as well as aunties and uncles, are very keen to use ketchup and don’t even want to try experiencing the wonder that is mayonnaise.

    Abbu! How can you say that there’s nothing desi about ketchup?? ONLY in the motherland do people put ketchup on pasta (including lasagna! the horror!), pizza, samosas, tikka, AND fried chicken. Like it’s going out of style.

    Try fat slices of grilled onions, it takes away the sharpness and they become caramelized and sweet.

    Instead of ketchup, try barbecue sauce. My favorite - Sweet Baby Ray’s.

    You know what else is good on burgers - salad dressing! Ranch, thousand island, Italian… awesome way to dress up a burger :).

    SBR should be banned because it’s so good. I’m going to ask for a river of it in Jannah inshaAllah. May Allah (swt) grant us entry.

    InshaAllah in Jannah, I’ll be fishing for Swedish Fish.
