I agree! DH begs me to make hamburgers for dinner on a regular basis -
when I was back in Australia that meant making up rissoles with finely
chopped vegetables in them and eggs/breadcrumbs, and serving them with
mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables... but the one and only time I
tried it here DH had a hissyfit because it 'wasn't a hamburger'! So
now I do them on a bagel with fried onion and bacon etc. They're yummy
(much nicer than bought) but not really what I'd call a nutritious
dinner... he's also quite happy with a couple of hotdogs on bread.
Ugh...
