They still serve their inedible food with platesd, knives and forks.

While we're on the topic of inedible burgers, have you ever heard of White Castle? Very popular with some, they serve a burger that cannot be separated or distinguished in any way that I can tell from the bun.

Nope. Is it British?

No, and be glad of that. Their buildings are supposed to resemble little white castles, but in fact look more to me like public latrines, easy to hose down. I have known people who love to eat there after a night of drinking, which I think would be a necessary precursor.

The picture does not do justice to their awfulness (new word?). Oddly, I am feeling hungry ;)

If you think White Castles are bad you should experience one of those Wimpy burgers in Norway ,they are terrible

If the Wimpy burgers are actually worse than a While Castle burger, then I am speechless. Apparently what one eats most in Norway is pizza. I wonder how that is. Now I am truly feeling famished.

The people I have worked with, from my days on a Coast Guard buoy tender to the marine coonstruction division at my current employer have always been split between Grunden & HH & Stearns. I prefer Stearns, and I am of Norwegian descent. If I have to be on an open barge all day in 15 degree weather, I do not want to be wewt & cold, and Stearns gear does that best, I think.

Not familiar with Stearns. Worked a little in commercial fishing and many seasons on open (party) boats in the NY bight. Found a pretty even split between HH and Grundens followers in both industries. The arguements about the quality were like those between Chevy and Ford owners. Didn't even think somone would throw Chrysler into the mix. }:^)

Stearns makes just about all the live jackets you will ever see in any kind of commercial operation on the water. It's the best winter work gear. For warmer weather, yep, HH & Grunden rule the market.

I have a float coat and a mustang suit:

Oh, you know folks who like sliders, too? Fries were called nailers I think, as in coffin nails. Sliders don't need a definition, lol.

Buy 'em by the sack...
