What's hygaard?

Probably yes, though.

[riskllama]

as if you don't know...

They’re in the gas station refrigerator.

Update: The company is in Edmonton, so maybe Dukasaur was getting a different brand. I kind of doubt they would ship to Ontario. Also their website is resulting in 404 errors so they might be done.

I thought they would be national too though.

[jusplay4fun]

You put celery on your burgers? raw or sauteed?

ketchup is not hugely unhealthy if you get one without too much salt and sugar in.

No, I really am confused.

No, I'd never heard of it until you guys brought it up.

When he first wrote "hygaard" I thought it was a bizarre spelling of "hybrid" or something. I honestly have never heard of Hygard other than motor oil until today.

Until I googled them I thought they would be in gas station refrigerators out your way.

I’m certain I have had something made by them but not a hamburger.

I remember when the 7-11 first had burgers here. Using the toppings buffet made them pretty good at the time.

[riskllama]

their hamburgers were & still are, disgusting. my go to's when i ate that shit were the little john sub or the ham & cheese/beef & cheese on a bun things. 3 cheers for poor quality ingredient gas station food!!!

[2dimes]

We were walking past a Subway today. I don’t know what they would put in them but the pictures of the new little bun sandwiches looked good.

[riskllama]

i don't think i will eat @ subway ever again after their bread was found out to be you know, not actually bread. also, that marketplace they did on fast food chicken didn't help, either... .

[2dimes]

I feel like those stories about subway making sandwiches using mixtures of various concoctions were pretty recent. Nothing about that comes up when I google, "subway".

Those new sandwiches are "potato bun sidekicks."

Subway's bread is not bread, court rules: https://www.npr.org/2020/10/01/919189045/for-subway-a-ruling-not-so-sweet-irish-court-says-its-bread-isnt-bread

Another lawsuit alleges that Subway's tuna is not tuna. The courts have not yet ruled on this one: https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2021/01/27/subway-tuna-lawsuit/

I find a lot of US bread to be far too sweet.

Heinz Catsup/ketchup is the BEST. PERIOD.

https://www.grubstreet.com/2014/08/ketchup-heinz-irreplaceable.html

So why, after 138 years, in an era when practically every food gets an artisanal makeover, has no ketchup competitor even come close to replicating Heinz’s success? Why is it that Heinz, and only Heinz, is what we not only love, but what we demand with every French fry we eat?

Because as Malcolm Gladwell once explained, Heinz doesn’t just taste good, or even great. It tastes objectively perfect:

When Heinz moved to ripe tomatoes and increased the percentage of tomato solids, he made ketchup, first and foremost, a potent source of umami. Then he dramatically increased the concentration of vinegar, so that his ketchup had twice the acidity of most other ketchups; now ketchup was sour, another of the fundamental tastes. The post-benzoate ketchups also doubled the concentration of sugar — so now ketchup was also sweet — and all along ketchup had been salty and bitter. These are not trivial issues.

Heinz hits ALL FIVE Flavor sensations.

also, staying with the current theme:

The alternative spelling — catsup — popped up in a Jonathon Swift poem in 1730. For many years, you could also find the sauce called “catchup" in many places. ... Heinz Company didn't start producing the sauce until 1876. The company originally called it catsup, but soon switched to ketchup to stand out.

has anybody here tried that german curry ketchup yet?

[jonesthecurl]

I used to make my own ketchup, but one batch fermented enthusiastically and exploded all the bottles.

Counterfeit Heinz ketchup scam busted open, literally
LISTEN | PRINT
By Leigh Goessl Oct 22, 2012 in Crime
Dover - Last week an alleged Heinz Tomato Ketchup counterfeiting scheme was uncovered after the fraudulent bottles had exploded. Other local tenants in the building noticed a horrible smell and an increase in flies in the vicinity.

According to the New Jersey Star-Ledger, officials uncovered what they believe to be an abandoned counterfeit ketchup scam in a Dover, N.J. warehouse.
Officials believe the ketchup to be real, but Heinz has verified that the labels on the bottles are fraudulent. It is theorized that the culprit bought traditional Heinz Ketchup, faked Heinz' "Simply Heinz" premium bottles and poured the ketchup into the fabricated bottles.
Due to the fermentation process that takes place when sugar is added to the acidic tomatoes and vinegar, the ketchup had begun to explode. Live Science reported the moving of ketchup from one container to another could set the conditions.
"When you get expansion and containers blowing up like that, a lot of the time it's from gas buildup within the container, and that's usually a red flag for microbial growth," said Rutgers University food chemist Thomas Hartman, reporte Live Science. "By transferring the ketchup from one container to another, they could have breached the [containers'] sterility."

It's been many years since I ate a gas station sandwich, but back when I did, I remember Hamish & Enzo was the dominant brand.

Sounds kosher, I’d try them even if Saxi would complain.
