No it is not. A burger consists of a cooked “burger patty” between a bun or roll. The meat can vary within a burger but still be considered a burger. The buns are traditionally white sesame buns again, the variety is endless because brown, wholewheat, or other buns may also be used.

The next aspect of a burger that makes it a burger not a sandwich are its condiments. This includes mustard, pickles, tomato, lettuce, cheese, and more. As with sandwiches, variations on the hamburger theme are infinite. We have things like turkey burghers, veggie burgers, chicken burgers, and bison burgers. And guess what? They are burgers not sandwiches and have the unique set of condiments and toppings that are paired with a burger.

You need a BURGER and some form of BUN to have a burger. Could you put thinly-sliced deli meat in a bun and call it a burger? No. You would call that a sandwich. If you put a ground beef patty between two slices of bread, is it a burger? Thats a good question. But the idea of a burger between two slices of sandwich bread with no burgers condiments or burger worthy bread sounds ridiculous. Take a look into the mirror if you think a burger is a sandwich. A burger is a burger not a sandwich. Incomparable.

Tired of eating the same old food from Lowry? You came to the right article! Here, I’m going to teach you how to create my pasta, using ingredients from Lowry…let’s get started.

First, grab your choice of noodles from the vegetarian area. Then you want to add just a DAB of marinara sauce. Then you will head over to the noodles section to get your alfredo sauce. After that, head to international and ask for spinach. This will cook while you season your pasta.

Here are the main seasonings you want to add. Add a lot of cajun seasoning and a little garlic and herb. Then you want to add a tad of hot sauce (the one with the lady on the label), a little rotisserie seasoning, olive oil and squeeze some lemon juice on top. After that, mix your spinach inside your pasta then you are done Now, you can enjoy!

Shona Proverb

This old Shona proverb speaks to how no relationship is complete without food. I often think back to how hospitable a person my mother is. If a guest came to our house – relative, friend or complete stranger – she always made it a point to give them something to eat. And she never took no for an answer, even if all they ended up doing was nibbling on a few Marie biscuits. I think now to how many relationships are formed over dinner; how many friendships are strengthened by spontaneous late-night Taco Bell runs.

There are so many parts of myself and my life that would not be the same if it had not been for food. I remember how when I was 16 years old, I had gotten into a car accident. And I was an absolute wreck. I remember crying at home, feeling so bad for having “ruined” the car (which was barely scratched). And looking back at it, I remember how much better I felt when my mom asked me to help her make my favorite meal of sadza nespinach. I’ve always been someone who doesn’t really value food as much as my peers, or even my family. But the longer I am away from home, the more I miss the spices and flavors that made up our family dinners.

Being in America has been nothing short of extraordinary. But it has also been extremely stressful. There are so many foods I used to find myself enjoying back home in Zimbabwe that have now suddenly become toxic to me, causing anything from gastrointestinal problems to allergic reactions. I cannot express how excited I am to go home and cook a meal with my family – to visit my grandmother in Murehwa (about two hours from my home) and listen to her tell us stories of hers and my mother’s youth as she cooks something for us over an ever-smoky, ever-warm fire.

Contrary to another blogger who claimed they had a good experience, I had an awful experience going to “Wild Ginger Asian Bistro”. Firstly, there is nothing wild nor Asian to any of the food I attempted to eat during my visit to this restaurant. The restaurant itself is visually appealing but it was quite empty. I got the general Tso’s chicken and chicken wonton soup. Both of these dishes are very easy to replicate and are very commonly ordered. I have to say it was the blandest Chinese food I’ve ever had. Here is a picture of how the dish I ordered is advertised by the merchant. As you can so there is at least some crust and color to the sauce and chicken itself.

Here is how the dish looked when I received it.

The chicken was tasteless and greasy. And get this, the price of the dish was $13.95. I honestly did not enjoy a single bite of my meal or my starter (chicken wonton soup) It was all a void of flavor. I’d highly advise no one ever goes here. The host that seated us was very unfriendly, didn’t say hello, didn’t wait for us as she took us to our table and just threw the menus on the table. Rude. The waitress was busting her bottom all night. She was the only one i saw even though she said there was 2 of them. She was literally jogging around the building and seemingly on the verge of tears throughout the night.
