I cheated BIG

I've never seen a White Castle burger place (being hopelessly Canadian).

How much does a single WC burger cost? How big is it?


Never, ever try a White Castle burger. If you grew up eating them, you
love them, but it's a taste you had to acquire as a child. I never did,
and I think they are the most vile, nasty greaseburgers you'll ever eat.

They're tiny, the meat pattie is about 3/2 inch square. It's also got 5
holes cut into it so it will cook faster. They use reconstituted onions
that stink to high heaven. Vile, vile, vile.

That said, I should point out that one reason I use a screen name is so
that no one will ever find out that I posted something derogatory to WC
burgers. Those who love 'em, *really* love 'em.

Wow ! I'm amazed that such a thing can sell ... how much do they cost?

How many do the regular consumers eat at a sitting?

Thanks!

LOL, I grew up on White Castle and I think they are delicious! Unfortunately
there is so little to them that even if you eat the bun you need a
half-dozen or more to feel moderately full. Most people buy them by the
bagful. When my son and his friends used to get together and eat them they
would buy 4-5 dozen of them them for about 5-6 guys, and got fries to boot.
If you are eating only the meat, as a low carber, you'd probably need to eat
about 3 dozen of those puppies! They still sell for only about 50 cents or
so, but that adds up. White Castle is not a very good LC option!

In a previous article, "PJ DiSanti" said:

Last night and a full day later my head hasn't exploded, but I'm sure some
of you still have hope.

I ate 8 that's right 8 White Castle Cheeseburgers AND 10 Chicken Rings! Know
what reactions I had? almost none, sure my blood sugar spiked a bit, but I
didn't find myself hungry afterwords, nor have I had cravings for it again.
In fact I've eaten only one meal today so far and plan to eat a nice cut of
meat for din din.

Check out http://www.whitecastle.com/ A hamburger or cheeseburger is
9g net carbs, and a chicken ring is 10g. Not **horrible** for a very
occasional indulgence, if you can watch how many you eat and what you
consume for the rest of the day.

I grew up in Chicago, and an occasional after-church lunch was a bag
of "sliders", which my father would lay out carefully on an electric
warming tray. Even now, when I visit my mom and sister, a trip to
White Castle is de rigeur; gotta do it. But I'm bemused by all of you
talking about eating a zillion of them; three does me just fine.

I'm gobsmacked to see that the web site refers to "slyders." I think
that's a pretty good bit of PR on their part.

Ahh ! Thanks for that.

I'm checking out the website from the URL given in the thread above.

Heheheeh ... I feel (strangely!) that I know so much more about
Americans now, that I never knew before.

White castle sounds good, I haven't had one for years! Are they 100% beef?
Anyone ever order one without the bun?

Just one little problem, White Castle isn't a national chain, best you
can achieve is regional understanding. White Castle baffles some of
us, too. :-)

White Castle burgers weigh one ounce before cooking. Figure 30% loss
in cooking. My slight 12-year-old daughter ate 6 of them when I
brought her to a WC for the first time. She's not a big eater generally.

My son, as a teen, would easily eat a dozen with fries and drinks. I
accidentally did that once, too, in my early 20s with the guys on my
football team. Ok, Twice or so. Quit pressuring me.
