Grey Poupon, Anyone?

[spoken in an excited, nasally, almost valley girl kind of way with breathlessness and hand waving] “Like, OMG!!! I totally can’t believe he ordered a burger without ketchup! And Dijon mustard? He ordered Dijon mustard?! OMG! OMG! OMG! Who does that?!?!”

This is completely worthy of being listened to (at least for a minute or two) just for the funny factor. Sad funny, but still, it made me laugh for a minute or so.

I guess when the only thing your opposition has to gripe about is your choice of condiments, life’s not going too badly.

We can’t be the only working class people in America that has a spicy or Dijon mustard in our fridge. Can we? Also, the hamburgers at the places I get hamburgers come default without ketchup. I didn’t realize eating a burger without ketchup was a criminal offense. I put ketchup on my fries, not my burger. I guess that makes me an elitist too. Ha!

  1. Nope, you are not the only ones. I haven’t had a bottle of ketchup in my house for several years (like 5-6) and I prefer spicy brown mustard over French’s anyday. And I wouldn’t call myself an elitist…maybe I am

  2. I keep a small bottle of ketchup around for the occasional french fries or for using making other sauces, but that’s about the only things it gets used for, and I haven’t eaten any of that bright yellow icky mustard in ages. I like me some spicy brown mustard … on just about everything.

    Yup, you and me, babe … two big-time elitists! ;)

  3. There is only one correct way to eat a hamburger, one correct way to walk, one correct make of shoes to wear and one correct way to look. You can find these and more on your local media.

  4. And whatever you do … don’t eat arugula!!!

    The level of ridiculousness in the media has gone off the scale. Of all the things going on around the world (and our own country) that even one person spent any time at all having anything to say about how a person orders their hamburger would be stupid enough, but Obama’s hamburger was on all the news outlets. Commentary … on a person eating a hamburger. Lots of commentary. :rolleyes:

    I was left wondering why this Laura person didn’t give the burger place some hell for having a “spicy or Dijon” mustard. Seems rather posh-posh for a place claiming to serve the common working man!

    Here we are, a country that should be involved in discussing the fact we looked into the abyss and became a country that tortures other people, and yet … there’s time and energy devoted on radio and TV “news” programs to discussions of mustard on burgers. I guess since the new flu doesn’t look like it’s going to wipe out humankind after all, they need something new to go on about.
