An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

A couple of days ago I bought a pack of 4 veggie burgers, as is my routine. They are convenient and quite tasty but not as cheap as they used to be. So imagine my delight when, on opening it, I found not 4 but 5 veggie burgers inside. The grocery stores have spent years raising all their prices at the expense of us little people. Well, now is my moment, now they really screwed up. Ha! That fifth veggie burger is going to have the delicious taste of revenge.

Edit: They say revenge is a dish best served cold. This turns out not always to be true. If cooking from frozen you need to grill it for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.

You're frolicking about ONE (seldom) free veggie burger, I'm frolicking about a bunch of them because I know what TVP is and I have no life. We're not the same.

What a site. I can't believe I haven't come across it before now.

Right??? Hot damn

But now you'll have 3 left over buns instead of 4, just the right amount for another pack of veggie burgers. See what actually happened is they tricked you into buying both more buns and another pack of veggie burgers by giving you that rush when you saw the extra one.

Damn, Big Veggie Burger is just too cunning, and possibly in cahoots with Big Bun.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like Big Bun and I cannot lie.

Don't forget to thank the worker that made your revenge possible by slipping an extra patty in the pack!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've been sat here for a minute saying "extra patty in the pack" "extra patty in the pack"

It's strangely satisfying

extra patty in the pack

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

That's a next-level idiom. You got that extra patty in the pack

[–] can 11 points 1 day ago

a lil extra patty in the back

Thanks, patty-packing comrade! The revolution has started at last!

Workers of the world, grill!

Do veggie burgers also require cooking all the way through to be considered safe, or can you snack on it raw (thawed, at least) like a vegetable?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

can you snack on it raw (thawed, at least)

Finally, burger tartare can be realized.

Have I got some news for you

Forgiveness is best served with barbecue sauce.

Can't beat a big oll flat mushroom seasoned to taste 🍔

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

After 20 years of vegetarianism I so enjoy impossible burger patties and impossible sausage. Biscuits and gravy. Meatloaf. I LOVE mushrooms but I am so happy with this new generation of fake meat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Beyond Meat burgers have this thing where if they're charred, the charred bits taste AMAZING. I first discovered this when I ordered one from a restaurant and I wanted to know what seasoning they used because it was unique and delicious. Turns out it was just luck from having the burgers charred just a bit.

I suspect, but don’t know, that Impossible Burger tastes better than low-end hamburger at this point. I remember a lot of “off” tasting burger during an impoverished childhood.

I had a non-vegetarian friend try one and she hated it. She doesn’t like hamburger and said it tasted very much like hamburger.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

So agree that sliced mushrooms should be sautéed till golden brown in a lake of butter with salt and pepper. Now I want mushrooms!
