The other day as we were sitting at lunch at our "big girl" jobs, I took a bite of my turkey burger, which I grilled the previous night, and came up with a mouthful of yuck. I couldn't explain it! It was gritty, gross, tasted just like burnt ANYTHING! I took a look at my burger and discovered what I referred to as grill crunchies on my burger.
The girls I was with kind of laughed at my reaction. I didn't know what else to call this char-grilled mess on my burger besides grill crunchies. "Grill crunchies?" they asked. I don't know...it seemed fitting to me. But then I had to go over my already mayonaised, burger trying to pick off this grossness that I was not aware of the night before when I ate my burger.
Here is my explanation. 1) I know I should've scraped off the grill before I used it. But to be honest, I was so freaking hungry that I didn't even care. 2) I also know that I should've sprayed some grilling Pam on the racks prior to placing the meat on there. Again, too hungry. and 3) We really need new racks for our grill because not only do grill crunchies get scraped off of the racks, I also feel like the rack itself is falling apart.
Note to self for next time: Don't grill again. Typically the hubby does the grilling, I do the prep work in the house. Except he was too busy messing with a broken belt on the lawn mower to even realize it was 8:00 p.m. and we hadn't had dinner yet! But, if I must grill, I think I'll break out the handy-dandy George Forman because I know for certain that there won't be any grill crunchies on my burger then!
Disclaimer: That is not my burger in the picture. That one has nice lines of grill crunchies...mine were more like the grill exploded on my burger.
