Although I am trying to avoid fast food as much as I can, sometimes I give in. Usually not because I crave fast food but because it is fast and it is cheap. The other day I went shopping for clothes and I was hungry but I did not want to return home from the centre of the town because I wanted to go to a few more shops after lunch so I went to eat at Burger King.

I must admit that I rarely eat there, maybe once or twice per year and that is not only because I am trying to avoid fast food but also because even when I decide to eat a hamburger or something like that I prefer McDonalds to Burger King. That day I decided to take a cheeseburger because I did not want to eat alot and to share fries with my sister. The cheeseburger comes wrapped in a white paper with Burger King logo on it and some numbers that I did not even bother to understand for the simple reason that I was hungry and I wanted to eat my sandwich while it was still hot. The cheeseburger was rather small, maybe six centimeter in diameter and three centimeter high. The bun was really soft and really fresh. It was also very tasty. I was very satisfied with the quality of bread but I must admit that I am very fond of bread made with milk and it seems to me that this bun was made with addition of milk.

When the cheeseburger arrived it was still really hot. I saw that it did not sit on the counter, but as soon as it was ready it was given to me. I find that great because I hate cold sandwiches. The cheeseburger looked rather small when I unwrapped it and kind of empty. The paper was not greasy which was cool but it also signaled that the ingredients in it will not be abundant.

It seemed as there was nothing in between the two halves of the bun so I opened it in order to see what was actually inside. The fact was that it was done in a sloppy way so all the ingredients were on one side of the sandwich and the other looked empty. I really do not like that when all the ingredients are on one side only and additionally, they even jut out of the bun, because that means that or I have to lift them by my fingers and place them at the centre or I will eat just the meat and cheese at one point while other I will be left with bread only.
But even when I lifted the top of the bun the ingredients looked rather scarce. The slice of cheese was not melted but I was OK with that, and it was cover with a decent amount of ketchup. I like ketchup and cheese combined. It was clear that there was even more ketchup but it got absorbed by the bread, because the bread was all read, both top and bottom. The taste of the cheese was very mild.

Then on the other side of the bun there was one slice of pickle. That was really disappointing although the slice was rather thick. Honestly, I would prefer if it was less thick but if there were two slices of pickle. The pickle itself was quite crunchy and tasty but it was gone in two bites so I had to eat the rest of the sandwich without any pickles. The taste of the meat was a bit blend too although the amount of meat was almost decently thick, but its taste was not strong. It was also done perfectly, it was not raw or burnt.
The two bites with the pickle were really the best ones. When the pickle was gone the cheeseburger tasted kind of bland and flavourless. I paid 1.19 Euro for Burger Kind Cheeseburger and that is really inexpensive but I was expecting a bit more. The fact that the cheeseburger was small did not bother me because I am realistic and I know that you cannot get a giant sandwich for a bit more than 1 Euro, but I was expecting at least two slices of pickle. As you can see on the last picture, the ingredients are barely visible. It looks almost as if I was eating bread only. The only really positive thing about this cheeseburger was it low amount of calories. It has only 270 of them. I guess that is because there is not mayonnaise in it.

I guess I could say that with this cheeseburger I got what I paid for. I was trying to eat cheap and fast and I managed to achieve that by buying Burger King Cheeseburger. I mean, I cannot point out a single detail that was really bad or that I did not like but the final result all together was not very stunning. I mean, I had much better sandwiches for that money. I really doubt I will go to Burger King very soon again. It will remain, as it always was my last resort, a fast and cheap solution when I do not have a lot of time.
