Hamburgers are just fine without one thing being added.
Sure, you can dump mega-tons of crappy-ass herbs and shit on everything until you get a flavor that approaches an eccentric hodgepodge of unbalanced taste, but why?
Though without at least an egg and worcestershire sauce, any bison burger will crumble and fall apart while cooking because of the lack of fat in it. Same with 93% lean beef.
I got bison jerky and let me tell you, my face almost got sucked off from the dryness.
Sure, if you like the flavor of bland mush with a hint of vague meat and something that tastes sort of plantlike. That's what salt is for, to bring out the flavor that's already there, not make it taste like salt, which every fucking fast food place on the planet seems to do. Mmmm...I love my french fry-shaped salt! Yes indeedy! Same with pepper. You're not supposed to put so many herbs or spices in that all you can taste is the herbs and spices. That's just stupid.
Just because both sides of my family is midwestern, doesn't mean I have to eat hotdishes and jello salads and let my tastebuds starve to death.
And you're more than welcome to eat my chicken, but I didn't stuff it with crab. I stuffed it with crawfish. I just said crab so I wouldn't spoil the surprise for boorite's birthday dinner.
