Penny - White Castle "sliders" are paper-thin, square hamburgers from a chain of hamburger joints that's far older than McDonald's. The restaurants look like a mix between a gasoline station and a miniature castle. There was one by Grandma's house in Detroit and my folks let me get a hamburger there just once, since we usually couldn't afford to eat out with five kids in the family. The hamburgers tasted absolutely wonderful to me, since they were kind of forbidden fruit. I spent my teenage years in Wisconsin, which didn't have White Castle, so I had to find other things to eat at two in the morning.
The frozen ones you get in the grocery store aren't so good.
