Funny...I was just thinking that I really don't care for lettuce and tomatoes on my burgers, mainly because they get messy. I much prefer a load of onions and pickles. However, I will take a good BLT any day of the week, with homegrown tomatoes and eat the hell out of a tomato and onion sandwich with mayo. Different strokes for different folks...

crabmeat au gratin done properly with a light sauce


Au gratin has nothing to do with cheese. I would have no problem with the dish if cheese was omitted.

does "au gratin" have to include bread crumbs by definition?

i know when i make jambalaya we refer to the good crunchy bits in the pot as the "gratin", but does the "au gratin" dish just means the crunchy texture or does it require specific ingredients be included?

I don't think so. I believe it is the process of broiling/browning the top of a casserole type dish. Which I am all for.

Here is the kicker that you have to answer. Which condiment do you prefer on a pickle and onion loaded burger? Waiting with baited breath.

Damn...I'm a bit nervous about answering this, glass. I don't want to burst your bubble or anything.....



































Here's goes.......












Homemade or Hellman's mayo with regular French's mustard. Mustard was made to go with onions and pickles. I use more mustard than mayo. Gotta have that flavor.

So, glass, what do you use? I'm afraid of the answer. We might be separating again, although making up is so much fun

Oh my! You threw me with "condiment" in the singular. I was just sure I'd blow the relationship.

Thank goodness you don't ruin the thing with catchup!

Not a condiment, but a useful ingredient for a few things. Mayo and Mustard. By heart is a flutter.

Yes, it is a useful ingredient for a few things. Just not burgers.

My heart is doing a demure little dance, as well. I shall now have some Bombay and fan myself.

Cooling off is always good when things get hot.

Just made some Crabmeat Au Gratin, but the recipe didn't even call for cheese mixed in. It only called for it on top. I mixed some cheese in anyway but it was mainly crab with a tad bit of cheese. It was pretty good.
