They come second on the list. Has to be the beef or chicken first.

I agree, I mean a burger just doesn’t function properly without a gherkin!!

I love pickled gherkins on their own too

YES yes yes. But you have to be with someone that doesn't like them. Mr picks it out his burger and dangle feeds me it. Married life. Winning.

Me too! I can sit and eat a jar easily. The kids asked to try it one day so with a smirk on my face I gave them one, presuming they'd hate them. My face quickly dropped when they said they were amazing

I mean obviously the gherkin is second after the cheese … (*ahem*)

Well he’s forgiven for turning down sex in that case

No rubbish should be created once the bins go out for collection day. My family disagrees.

You can only get up on the hour or the 5 minute increments. None of this two minutes past... My family disagrees.

And, yes to the gherkin, OP. Although, not always cheese with a burger. Some cheeses do not belong.

Why do I feel that your intention was to start a more broadly ranging thread but now you're stuck talking about gherkins?

An inconvenient fact that I know to be true despite what others tell me is there is absolutely no point to life

This is very true. However the nicely graded path makes for a good training run.

Liversausage and beetroot sandwiches are the best... made in advance, and wrapped in tin foil put in the fridge till the beetroot bleeds it's pink colour through it all. Yum.

Much nicer than burgers with gherkins in.

I actually end friendships if they like Gherkins. If they're not flopped on my plate. That's it.

I totally agree a gherkin is the worst part of a burger and needs to be ditched before being eaten

Gotta love a pickle.

Remember first burger in America when I was 16. It came with a pickle that wrapped around half the circumference of the bun.

I was smitten after that.
