Brioche has it's place in the culinary universe, but using it to try and contain a burger (with or without lettuce, sauce, pickles and cheese) is insanity. No structural integrity.

A brioche bun is fine for making a banana sandwich. You are quite right that it has no place near a burger though.

I welcome the Prime Minister’s admission that the Brexit deal is a disaster for our economy, but the real test is: will he drop Labour's red lines that stop us fixing it? Today he says no – so we have more work to do!

Please enjoy a small moment of solitude along the High Peaks Trail this afternoon in Pinnacles National Park. The rhyolitic rocks are the eroded remains of a 22Ma composite volcano complex whose other half is down south 185 miles or so in Lancaster, CA thanks to San Andreas Fault.
