I find it interesting that the St. Olaf College is the home to, ironically, the St. Olaf Choir which is the ioneer a cappella choir in the United States, having existed for over 125 years. And that Samuel Barber set to music a piece he entitled "The Prayers of Kierkegaard" -- so that when the choir performs it, St. Olaf in quiet Minnesota, is the one place in the world in which you can read, study, sing and listen to Kierkegaard all at the same time.

All they need is a Kierkegaard burger, eh? Then you could touch and eat Kierkegaard as well! It'd have to be medium-rare for my tastes, though.

"When a man has filled his mouth so full of food that for this reason he cannot eat and it must end with his dying of hunger, does giving food to him consist in stuffing his mouth even more or, instead, in taking a little away so that he can eat?" ~ S. Kierkegaard

First off, Good come-back quip Adair.

A Kierkegaardian burger??? First one would have to tell if it were a pseudo-burger or a true burger - considering it is an item of substance and not idea/thought/abstraction... Then, one would be faced with the choice that if it were a true burger, would he later be able to tell others that he actually ate a true (Kierkegaardian for that matter) burger (after he had eaten it all), but would have no evidence (considering it had all been eaten)...

Next, if he saved part of the burger... is it the same burger anymore, or most importantly - a true burger for that matter...

Possibly, one would have to live with the burden and angst of wondering if he ever had ever really participated in a true burger experience in his life, or would he ever achieve true burger-dome again, or could he ever attain true-burgerdome with every fast-food meal on a perennial basis...

Likely, a true Kierkegaardian burger would be delicious to the taste, scrumptious to the pallet, and an impossible meal to complete.
