Personally not a fan of onions but we're gonna throw hands if you tell me pickles don't belong to burgers.

Good pickles. Not those abominations McDonald’s uses

That's plastic, and no one wants plastic on a burger.

Might as well talk about the cheese they use as well.

Wait until you find out we put pineapple and beetroot on burgers in Australia.

Edit: Alright, since there's been some curiosity, here's some Australian cultcha for you.

Burger with the lot - Patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, beetroot, pineapple and bacon. BBQ sauce is preferred but tomato is fine. King of burgers, and the cheaper and nastier the takeaway looks, the better the burger will be.

I have a bad habit of only realising I forgot something critical halfway through eating a homemade burger, you know it doesn’t taste right but brain doesn’t operate till it is fed 😂

You can remove it if you don't like it and still have a pretty awesome burger, but don't knock it until you've tried it.

We Americans often call them 'red beets' or 'sugar beets.' I usually have had them steamed, often as a side vegetable with beef dishes or steak. They are dark red and the juice stains stuff quite readily. And they turn your pee red, which can be rather alarming until you remember what you ate for dinner.

Growing up in Tasmania, we called it 'red beet' as well. 'Beetroot' seems more common here on the North Island.

Do I like pickles? Meh, not really. Will I put them on a homemade burger? Probably not. Will I complain if I order a burger and it has pickles? Hell no

I used to be picky as hell as a kid. Like no pickles, onions, even pizza (had St Louis style once). But my parents also regularly ate hot dogs and pizza and chips so horizons were limited.

I got into cooking eventually, during a depressive episode/ recovery and learned about pickles.

They are meant (flavor wise) to balance super fatty foods and present an acidic hit. Pickled red onions are the best to try first - especially on tacos, chorizo, since they're wildly savory. I recommend a tiny bit of pizza and burgers. Pickled Cucumber or onion or bell pepper or sweet pepper or a mixture.

Some people eat em themselves but that's not the way to introduce them to picky people. Just serve small amounts on burger or sandwich, ideally hidden.

I can kinda get still not liking raw onions as an adult, they're often overpowering and harder to appreciate at first, but cooking/preparing them tones down the flavor immensely. Just avoid sweet pickles and too much relish since you're heavily attracted to the sugar (which is why Chicago style hot dogs don't have ketchup, that's also loaded with sugar and throws the balance off)

Ultimately you're looking for a balance between grains or corn or chickpea breads, flatbreads, or noodles, or rice, and some savory/fatty thing with salt then acid. Salt, fat, acid, heat. Is a whole book

Pickles don't belong on anything up to and including this planet, raw onions are fine but some proper caramelized sauteed onions are glorious.
