I really wanted to make a hamburger, but there were no more buns, except for a stale one from a week ago. I remembered the time I wanted to make a tortilla but only had one stale one, so I dipped it in water and it became soft again. I wanted to apply that logic for hamburger buns- I kinda succeeded?

I dipped the bun in warm water for like a minute, made a bunch of holes in it with toothpicks so that water makes it into every part and softens it, and they turned into puddles. You know that one episode of Gumball where they drown the toast kid in a pool and when they take him out he's just falling apart into paste? That was the bun. I was careful though- I didn't let it fall apart. I dried it in a microwave and it came out all flat but it was edible so no biggie 👍

Ingredients-

-Hamburger Bun (Stale but revived)

-That meat you squeeze out of a sausage-looking sack crushed into a patty (Seasonings: French herbs, pili pili, black pepper and salt)

-Red Onion

-Pickles

-Bacon

-Jalapeno

-Gouda and Mozzarella cheese

    “Revived Stale Buns” was my nickname in high school.

    “Revived” is certainly a generous term, hell yeah

    That bun’s not *revived*…this is necrophellia 🧟‍♀️

  4. So for future reference, you can revive stale bread like that, but you only need like, a tablespoon’s worth of water, works best if you heat it an oven, air fryer probably works too, toaster oven probably won’t

    is anyone going to mention that the patty looks raw still

    Hmm. I usually just wrap stale buns in a damp (not soaked) paper towel and steam them in the microwave. Works unless they are rock hard stale.

    Have you gotten sick and shit yourself yet from the raw random meat?
