I find it fascinating that there could possibly be more than one hundred
recipes for hamburgers in existence. It is such a simple concept, how
many genuine differences can there be? It seems akin to "One Hundred
Different Ways To Brush Your Teeth", or "One Hundred Different Ways To
Tie Your Shoelaces".

Of course in some areas, discovering different ways to do basically
simple things can definitely hold interest. Unfortunately the Indians
did most of the fun research and published nearly two thousand years
ago. The Kama Sutra.

Salty, you do have a point. My initial concept was (edible) uses of
ground beef, not hamburgers persay. However...I am sure we would come
up with 100 or more things low carbers add to hamburger to make them
interesting. Not that that would be much of a collection.

I mean--what options are there? There are only variations on a theme.

Cheese, veggies (as in chopped onions/garlic,peppers), spice, some kind
of sauce or dip.

And then there is how they are cooked: tartar, sauté, broil, grill,
(boil? microwave? ick)

Maybe a chart would do it.

I promise I'm not thinking of doing the carnivore's Kama Sutra or even a
burger bible.
