That's how burgers get done in a fish and chip shop. Beef patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, fried onion, fried egg, a slice of beetroot, (pickled beet) and tomato sauce. The bun halves get thrown on the hotplate face down with the meat egg and bacon to soak up some of that flavour.

In the little local shops near where I live that'll cost you Au$12 or US$8. It's a fairly full meal.

So you do like pickled beets on hamburgers but not pickled cucumbers?

Yes, beetroot has a much milder and nowhere near as sharp flavour and quite often a single slice covers a whole burger.

That doesn't surprise me about the cold climate thing and liking fatty/sugary foods. I can still recall the winter camping advice I got from one Scout leader to eat something high fat just before bed to help keep warm. He'd suggested a big hunk of cheese actually.

When I lived up north and heated with wood only, I made sure we had a fatty pork dinner that night. We slept warmer. You could tell the difference. (This is when water froze in the bedroom.)

They're almost the same thing except chips are a much thicker cut so they stay hot for longer and don't go soggy as they cool down. Proper chips are thicker than a man's fingers.

We also call "potato crisps" chips. We use the same word for both and which is meant relies on context, or if context is lacking Hot Chips gets used sometimes too.

Americans have versions of thick cut fries. They're usually called cottage fries or potato logs or homestyle fries, something like that to differentiate them from the skinny fries like you get at fast food places. A big difference in the taste and texture of fries is the kind of oil they are cooked it and temperature at which they are cooked.

I still can't decide if l like shoestring fries. But waffle fries are great soaking up ketchup , ranch or honey mustard sauce
