It turns out that you've probably been eating hamburgers for your entire life

Hamburgers. Undeniably, one of the most delicious foods an omnivore can consume. But also one of the most messy.

And with the current vogue of overlaying hamburgers by topping them with cheese macaroni patties, pulled pork, avocado and so much more, attacking a hamburger is not a thin case.

The bread becomes soggy and falls apart under the weight of the toppings, the lettuce flows into your plate and you end up with a mixture of juice and sauce flowing on your wrist. Elegant, he is not. However, it turns out that we have all eaten hamburgers all our lives – and no, we do not mean that you should use a knife and fork.

The best way to eat a hamburger is, in fact, to return it, according to experts.

Yes, the unfamiliar view can make you feel uncomfortable, but according to experts, there are different reasons why it is a superior food technique.

"The hamburgers are served as if they were purely aesthetic," said Simon Dukes, founder of the Burger Lad blog, at INSIDER.

"The crown [the top of the bun] is usually thicker than the heel, so for a better eating experience, you should actually return it to eat it.

"The crown will then hold the weight of everything else, and it's less likely that it will fall apart in your hands." A true burger connoisseur should always eat his hamburgers upside down. "

However, it's not just about preventing the hamburger from disintegrating in your hands.

There are actually two streams of thought regarding the back-up technique: some advise to tip the burger on your plate as soon as it is delivered to your table, and others argue that you should leave it in place on your plate, but pick it up with your thumbs on it, turning it over when you bring it to your mouth.

Supporters of the latter method say that it is much more natural to choose an article this way (rather than with the fingers on the top and the thumbs below).

There is also the argument that a hamburger actually has a better taste eaten upside down – according to a Reddit user, "when you bite on a burger, their tongue touches the burger from below, which means that toppings are easier to taste when a burger is upside down.

"The tongue will come into contact with the toppings just before the cake, which is the ideal circumstance."

It's a technique that many burgers love to swear by passion, but that is relatively unknown and even some of the biggest connoisseurs of burgers do not know this technique.

"At first, I would have said that it was ridiculous," INSIDE's Matt Ester, founder of The Burger List, told INSIDER. "I've always eaten hamburgers the right way." But that makes sense.

"I think, of course, that they should be eaten in a good way, and I do not think it was meant to be eaten upside down. I guess the one who l? Man man man… Que celui,,,,,,,, discovered to have thought about the science behind that, so I'll give it's a try on my next burger! "

DOES IT WORK?

We visited a London Bleecker Burger to put the theory to the test, and we were pleasantly surprised.

By the time we got our hamburgers, the heel was already completely soggy. Turning it over, the soft crown, once dry, absorbed all the juice and the heel, now above, remained in one piece.

As to whether your tongue strikes the toppings first by eating your hamburger upside down, we were not convinced – all aspects of the hamburger were put together in a delicious way once in our mouth, but had- We tested verdict could have been different.

Overall, we are converted. Hamburgers upside down it is.
