Slugburger = Cardiologists' dream

Twice fried burgers.

Eating slugburgers is a matter of preference, not of practicality. You either love them or hate them. In fact, some people actually crave them. Don't worry, slugburgers are not made from terrestrial gastropods, commonly called slugs. Today, the beef mixture for the slugburger is made into small patties, which are fried once in hot grease, then frozen until needed. They are then fried once again when the slugburger is ordered. Because they are small, about the size of a cookie, people order two or three dozen at a time. They are traditionally served topped with mustard, dill pickles, and onions on a small-sized hamburger bun.

These burgers get their name from the slang term for a nickel used during the 1930s and 1940s. For many years, slugburgers sold for a nickel each.

During the Great Depression and World War II, beef was scare, and rationing resulted in some pretty weird recipes. To make ground beef go further, fillers such as cereal, potatoes, flour, cornmeal, soybeans, and onions were added.

Corinth, Mississippi, seems to be the birthplace of these hamburger. In Corinth, slugburgers are still very popular, with an annual Slugburger Festival held every year. Young women compete for the title of Miss Slugburger. In Corinth, if you go into a restaurant and order a hamburger, a slugburger is what you will get. To actually get a traditional hamburger, you must specify a "beef burger."

that's what you get for being leisurely....

You can put anything on a website, if you say it with authority.

I could--but I don't have a website and I don't have a clue how to do it.
So for now, you are going to have to take my slugburger story as true

I think you just hired someone. Part of your carefully-planned scheme to get folks to help clean up the South of plant-destroying wildlife.
