Enhance Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I agree with the take about Runza burgers. I've had just about every major chain burger out there and I'd put a Runza burger up there with some of the best. The "Runza" itself is a$$, though. I hate that our fans market this to visitors as something to try. It's genuinely embarrassing and tastes awful. For my other Husker hot take (and this might be unpopular, I don't know) - I don't think Nebraska will ever be a serious national title contender again. I think we caught lightning in a bottle with Osborne and optimized our advantages at the time. I think their ceiling would be rare CFP berths (assuming it doesn't expand to like... 16 teams or something). 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I never really ate at Runza growing up but my mom made them from scratch. Hers were pretty good. When I got to Lincoln, my (now) wife's family liked to eat at Runza so we'd go there from time to time. I used to make fun of them for no one getting a Runza at Runza. Now I never get a Runza there. Also, I'm kind of an onion ring snob. I either really like them or they're pretty bad, haven't found many in the middle. Runza's are definitely on my good list. Although I usually get FRings. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I think the problem with the Runza sandwich itself is just the texture/consistency. If the bread had a nice crunch to it, that would help. Every Runza I've ever had though is mostly soft/soggy. 1 Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Good to see a lot of guys have wives/moms who can make homemade Runzas. I grew up with my grandma making home-made Runzas, and now my wife has developed a go-to recipe for her own Runzas. This includes making her own dough. They are my son's favorite food item my wife makes, and requests them for his birthday. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pierogi's are what I believe you are referring to. They are polish dumplings and aren't made with bread. Quote Link to comment

Do you have some kind of intolerance to something in it or it was just never appealing enough to try? 1 Quote Link to comment
