For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

Brioche is an inferior burger bun.

Ok, you want to fight let's fight!

Burger bun is a bastard of brioche and bread, it's only purpose it to use in burgers when brioche is a whole ream of bakery and its natural interface to pastry.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Brioche is not a load bearing bun.

I want a big thick burger and a sturdy bun.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 2 months ago

Well of course, if you want to use a sweet bakery good in a savory dish, it will not hold. But such a use of brioche is beneath its rank.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Brioche is a french pastry and shouldn't be appropriated into burger buns to begin with.

[–] oessessnex@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Inferior compared to what?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I personally think it's a neck and neck race with Hawaiian rolls pulling just ahead of potato rolls for the lead.

Recommended highly by Marie Antoinette. Allegedly.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

pretzel bun is the superior bun.

[–] 5parky@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As are pretzel buns.

Someone needed to say it. Thank you.
