Definition: The structural soundness of a layered food item, especially burgers, when ingredients maintain proportional heights and textures. Violated by onion slabs doubling as walls, bun foundations that disintegrate under sauce, or towering toppings that turn lunch into edible Jenga.
This culinary crime transforms a handheld meal into a demolition site. Expect structural failure: fillings erupt sideways in a sauce geyser, leaving you clutching soggy bread remnants and questioning life choices. Never trust a burger that requires blueprints.
Example:
The burger’s structural soundness failed instantly; disproportionate toppings caused a structural failure, sending sauce and fillings sideways onto the plate.
Ignoring proportional heights created edible Jenga; the towering club sandwich collapsed, leaving only soggy bread remnants and scattered lettuce in my hands.
