Bicky Burger (Belgian)

Bicky burger is a unique Belgian hamburger that is also popular in the Netherlands, consisting of a sesame seed-topped bun filled with a deep-fried patty made from a combination of pork, chicken, and horse meat. The hamburger is additionally filled with pickles, fried onions, ketchup, hot sauce, and a special dressing consisting of cucumbers, onions, cabbage, cauliflower, and mustard. The first Bicky was made by a Dutch company named Beckers in 1981, and although the company is Dutch, no one knows why they have decided to target the Belgian market in the first place. In 2019, an advertisement for Bicky burger caused an uproar on social media because it shows a man hitting a woman for bringing him a 'fake' Bicky. With time, the Bicky burger has gained a cult status not only with the Belgian natives but with tourists as well, who often make it their mission to try this inexpensive snack while traveling through Belgium.
