Since we kicked off our Budapest Burgerwar™ with an all-American burger, we thought it might be nice to follow it with something all-not-American. So off we went to the District VI Scottish pub and restaurant variously known as the Caledonia/Kaledonia for a taste of what they bill as the "Edinburger."

We've never been to Edinburgh, and thus have no idea what an "Edinburger" is supposed to be like. But this one features the following: A nicely-sized patty of ground sirloin (hátszín) topped with a fried egg and some grated cheese, plus lettuce, tomato, a bit of red onion, and a load of delicious fried potatoes of the sort all-American types insist on calling "fries" even when (as in this case) any damn fool can see they are "chips."

The Caledonia/Kaledonia's E-burger has already gained a degree of fame among the bar's growing number of regulars, and for a good reason. It's a fine burger, even if one is a little put off by that big 'ole egg (which we're sure you don't have to get if you don't want it). Meanwhile, at Ft 1,490 (€6) it is certainly not expensive, especially when you consider that the pub, and the burger, are both rather clearly aimed at foreigner-types. Our only complaints, which are not minor, are that we were never asked how we wanted it cooked (it came out well-done) and that the otherwise tasty bun was too weak for its mission, forcing us to use a knife and fork, a dire burger indignity if there ever was one. But with a little more oomph in the bun, and a simple "how would you like it done?" this could end up putting Budapest's all-American burger mongers all out of business.
