The buns were made in France
The mustard was made in France
The mayo was made in Germany
The pickles were from America.
The spicy sauce was from Mexico.
My BBQ was made in New Zealand.
The meat and cheese were AUSTRALIAN at least.

Except for the barbeque itself, if we have barbeque burgers, everything will have been made in either Canada or the USA.

Remember, now that you are part of the tribe, no cheese on your burgers.

The boss doesn't like onion. I can live without the green leaves.Quote from: "Bricktop"
If you like heat, try a little Korean ko chu jang or chili pepper paste.
instead of using hamburger buns, I like to eat them Korean style, wrapped in a romaine lettuce leaf. My girlfriend is white and she prefers them over buns.

I use the Mexican spice. I think the korean might be a tad too hot. I really want to try kimchi, though. There are so many styles, I don't know which one is which. And they ain't cheap here!!!Quote from: "Bricktop"

I get my napa cabbage kimchi from my mom. It's expensive to buy it here too.

Brioche is a lighter form of baking, and common in France.
"Brioche (/ˈbriːoʊʃ/ or /ˈbriːɒʃ/; French: [bʁi.ɔʃ]) is a pastry of French origin that is similar to a highly enriched bread, and whose high egg and butter content (400 grams for each kilogram of flour) give it a rich and tender crumb. Chef Joel Robuchon describes it as "light and slightly puffy, more or less fine, according to the proportion of butter and eggs."[1] It has a dark, golden, and flaky crust, frequently accentuated by an egg wash applied after proofing."
A lot of burger joints here are using brioche in lieu of standard white bread.

There's a Korean supermarket in the city that has a lot of varieties. I'm going to check it out.Quote from: "Bricktop"
I find most way kuk who try kimchi don't usually like it the first time. it grows on them over time.

Pretty much everything on that list, if bought here, would come from either Canada or the States, with the option of French mustard.
The BBQ would be assembled in China/Mexico if it was low to mid-range, and the higher end BBQ's would come from the US or Canada.

I was amazed to see the mayo was from Germany, though. Local mayo is awful. American mayo is top of the tree.

Last week I had a job at the back of a milk processing facility. I could see all the milk trucks come and go. Most trucks were Canadian, but some were American. I don't know if they were loading or unloading their tankers, but they were there everyday.

Does BC have a lot of dairy cattle?

Isn't there a milk war between Canada and the US at the moment?Quote from: "Bricktop"
No, not at all. Trump was in Wisconsin(a dairy state) and attacked Canadian dairy.
Trump's remarks were made over a growing trade dispute between Canada and the U.S. over the dairy products: specifically ultra-filtered milk, a product which allows for greater efficiency in cheese-making.
After years of American farmers sending their ultra-filtered milk north of the border without being subject to tariffs, Ontario dairy farmers agreed last year to sell ultra-filtered milk to Canadian processors, such as Saputo Inc. and Parmalat Canada Inc., at prices competitive with international rates. Other provinces soon followed suit.
Most dairy products sent to Canada are subject to heavy tariffs, but ultra-filtered milk from the U.S. wasn't subject to those tariffs because it came into use after NAFTA was approved in 1994.
The move by Canadian producers has cost U.S. farms upwards of US$150 million, according to a report from the Washington Post.
Trump has recently been contacted by the governors of both Wisconsin and New York, as well as several U.S dairy production boards, who want him to urge Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to do away with the pricing policy.

Cook a hefty pure beef patty (not fricking rissole or meat loaf like crap. That's for bogans and dweebs) with mushrooms and capsicum. Melt a couple of slices of provolone over all that. Load up the bun with mustard, pickles, mayo, and lettuce. Add a slice of spanish onion. Combine and enjoy.
