This recipe for turkey stuffing calls for "18 White Castle hamburgers (no pickles), chopped into 1-inch pieces," (or you can substitute bread, but it won't be the same). I suppose if you live in the southern part of the US, you could substitute Krystals. Both brands are commonly called sliders. The recipe is a part of Thanksgiving for Chicago chefs Chris and Jill Barron, who share their Thanksgiving cooking schedule. Link to story. Link to recipe. -via Boing Boing

A slider, as I understand it, is a thin piece of beef (not a patty) cooked at high temp on a griddle on top of onions, which is then served on a mini-burger bun. The steam from the onions does most of the cooking of the beef.
In other words, a slider seems like something pretty dang tasty, whereas a mini burger is just a small burger, and if it's produced by this White Castle place, it's not a very good small burger.
What you do is drop to your knees and thank (insert higher being of choice here) that you have not been subjected to these little monsters. After doing their 'sliding' thing it took more than two days to rid myself of the taste.
Not that I go to White Castle, I live in the wrong country, for one thing, and on those occasions when I have gone, I've been unimpressed. It's not really very good, is it?
Oh, and don't forget the time we "smuggled" a 50 lb sack of potatoes across the Canadian border into NY. I felt like such a rebel perched atop the unholy haul in the backseat footwell! (Forty years later,I still need to get out more, huh?)
