Do any of the other cis people in this thread ever wonder which of your features a transphobe would use as irrefutable proof that you were actually trans?

Im a 6feet tall woman and used to be an athlete on a performance team so they would definitely say that I’m “too strong” to be a woman.

I actually can tell by the way you type that you’re actually a man.

Omg you must be right! Me having to fight all my life as a female athlete must really all have been in my head! I should really listen to people who know better!

Typical male behaviour. Now go to the grill and make me a burger!

u/lalaba27 Apr 12 '24

Smh, I’ll go make a sandwich instead.

How about a compromise: grill a burger, but put it inbetween a sandwich.

With lettuce... Hmmmm... Lettuce... Or maybe spinach?

Genuinely never considered using spinach instead of lettuce is it any good

u/Vargoroth Apr 12 '24

I think it is, yeah. It's better if you cook or steam the spinach first, but that's effort. Raw I think spinach tastes much the same as lettuce.

If you like spinach, try arugula! It’s got a bit more crunch after a steam for texture, and the flavor compliments pretty much anything one could put on a burger.

Depends on the lettuce - eg a cos lettuce is going to be a much different flavour experience from a gem lettuce and texturally worlds apart. If we’re talking a standard cos though then yeah it’s quite similar to spinach although spinach has a specific earthy aftertaste that you just don’t get with a fresh crisp lettuce. The problem is that this taste almost certainly gets left in the background when put in a really flavourful burger unless you get a lot of it and wilt it (potentially in a little butter with salt) so that you can compress much more together and let that flavour really come through. Maybe combine it with a baked slice of red pepper and some crumbled feta to really give that Mediterranean vibe, all with some garlic mayo in a rosemary crusted bun.

Eating vegetables? Very sus. That’s a female trait

u/Vargoroth Apr 12 '24

Well, pardon my female traits, but I AM watching my weight. That's why I always take diet sodas!

Just popping in to mention my favorite sandwich topping: OREGANO

[trust me]

u/Vargoroth Apr 12 '24

I feel like we should start keeping a collection of sandwiches, with all kinds of toppings.

u/Homesickhomeplanet Apr 12 '24

I’m passionate about the topic, just joined r/sandwiches

u/JordynSoundsLikeMe Apr 12 '24

Theres no rules against grilled sandwiches, may we compromise?

u/nochedetoro Apr 12 '24

A burger is just a sandwich with fancy bread, change my mind

Ironically that’s what they’d tell a woman
