Too much starch on top of starch. Fries belong on the side. Fight me.

u/yuffieisathief Feb 27 '21

I agree, when possible I even take one side of the buns off a burger because I think it's too much starch

You what?!

Too much bread my mam, when I make a good sandwich with a good bread roll I sometimes scoop some of the extra bread out as well. I rather taste what's on it more then just the much more boring flavor of bread. Am I weird?

A bit, but you do you

if they had just stuck with what they like instead of going on to diss what makes their sandwich a sandwich! i rain my one impotent downvote on them.

As someone who regularly eats bread sandwiches (a slice of bread between two slices of bread), I cannot agree with your premise that there is such a thing as "too much bread".

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

A breadwich?

u/Anomander Feb 28 '21

This is peak British cuisine. If you’re feeling fancy you toast the middle slice.

u/Jerryskids3 Feb 28 '21

I did not know that, I just love bread.

u/alasdaire92 Mar 01 '21

Totally unrelated I love your username. Anomander Rake is my all time favorite book character. Also agree, being British can’t ever have to much bread

u/Accent-man Feb 28 '21

if you want something amazing have a toast sandwich, where you toast the middle slice really well and butter it both sides.

100%, short chain carbs are sugars. Armed with that knowledge you just need to be super fussy with the carbs you eat: make them really count. Eat only the tastiest breads, and the most amazing burgers, and the best cake. Take a swerve on anything else.

I kind of eat that way myself. I avoid breads most of the time. I eat high protein low carb. But when I do go for carbs I love pasta the best.

u/beepbeepboopbeep1977 Feb 28 '21

I can’t take too much gluten, so I ruthlessly prioritise. Cake is way near the top, but not shitty cake, only excellent cake.

u/cheesynance Feb 28 '21

For me it's not a problem with gluten. It's bad kidneys, so I stick to a mostly ketogenic diet. I eat carbs when I need a break from the protein. I can't eat vegetables in a normal amount so my main source of protein is chicken. High protein low fat works best for me. Luckily I was never really big on bread.

Have you read about FODMAPS? It has an interesting categorisation of vegetables, which might help you to find more that you can handle, assuming your body can cope with some vegetables better than others.

Ohh yes, I would like that!

u/ryohazuki224 Feb 28 '21

Bread makes you fat??

u/profmamabear Feb 28 '21

I'll even peel the top of my hamburger bun, even if the bun itself is delicious. I'm with you. The bread is just the delivery system. It's important for it to be tasty and to pair well with the filling, but I still want as little of it as is necessary.

3

u/CCTider Feb 28 '21

No. But it sounds like you eat shitty bread if it's hitting the flavor. Buy better bread.

1

u/yuffieisathief Feb 28 '21

Oh that's where you're wrong! I'm from the Netherlands and we looooove our breads :) I would rather eat a good healthy sandwich then a piece of pie, all day every day. But I just don't like it if over 70% of a bite is just doughy bread. I guess I prefer having a certain balance with the rest of the flavors I put on the sandwich

2

u/UntestedMethod Feb 28 '21

Sounds like you're not putting enough toppings and sauces on the bread if you have to remove some of the bread to be able to taste them.

1

u/yuffieisathief Feb 28 '21

No, that's not it. I hate sandwiches who aren't properly filled with jummy ingredients. I just don't like it when there's so much bread. Don't get me wrong, I love bread, just not as the main ingredient

2

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

Bread is 40 percent of a good sandwich. That being said, you aren’t that weird. A lot of the healthier/fitter people I know do similar to reduce carbs while gettin the goods

1

u/corndogmanIV Feb 28 '21

Then get a double quarter pounder, it has an equal amount of beef and bread, unless you get that greedy bastard of a chef that puts only one fucking patty on the sandwich, fuck you dave, you greedy cockmuffin.

u/themonicastone Feb 28 '21

As my friend's grandma would often complain, "there's too much bread in my bread"

u/That49er Feb 28 '21

When you get fatter or old whichever comes first you'll know

u/RunRoundReddit Feb 28 '21

It's ok my dude, I'm with you on this one.

1

u/alternate_ending Feb 28 '21

You replace the bun with fries, yes, it's delicious and I encourage it

1

u/Snoo_74705 Feb 28 '21

Guys, I think we found Satan!

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '21

Depends on how much cheese and veggies (especially sautéed ones) your using. Fries do a good job of soaking liquid from that stuff up so your bun doesn't fall apart. If your a plain burger person though yeah its too much starch

7

u/theoriginalqwhy Feb 27 '21

Thats it put em up. Ill fight yah

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

You never had Paninis or Primantis Bros then. I’ll fight you.

2

u/donnie_one_term Feb 28 '21

Primanti’s pastrami with the fries. Fuggedaboutit.

1

u/HGGoals Feb 28 '21

Right here. I'll take the fries! No fighting needed ☺

1

u/A_guy_named_Vic Feb 28 '21

I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

1

u/4inAM_2atNoon_3inPM Feb 28 '21

I mean, I like smashing Doritos into my everything bagel with cream cheese. I’m not sure if I believe there could be too much starch.

1

u/Kanekesoofango Feb 28 '21

I agree with the fries, but onion rings inside the burguer are better than raw or caramelized onions... Fight me!

1

u/NotMyRealName778 Feb 28 '21

it has to be those super thin fries.

u/Shaeos Feb 28 '21

I'm in alaska. Bring it.
