What Makes Up The Perfect Burger

[Mendoza]

Right Mateys,

I feel like making a nice burger and chips to with tonights Euro serving of soccertainment.

What fillings make up the perfect burger? Thinking it has to include streaky bacon and maybe a mild cheddar, possible some gherkin action

I need inspiration for tonights cheffing extravaganza and trip round Saino's

Fried onions. MUST have fried onions.
Or a few rings of raw RED onion will give it a nice crunch and a bit of flavour.

Decent bread, probably ciabatta, lightly toasted. Good mayo, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, a good quality burger, streaky bacon, thinly sliced stilton.

I went to a chum's BBQ yesterday and have concluded the following:

1) Don't skimp on the cost of the pattie.
2) Top it with Chilli & Jalapeno relish, as it really is THE DADDY.

I'm having burgers too Brett! I shall be using PITTA bread.

I'm my BURGER I shall be having CHEESE and BACON and ONION and LETTUCE.

I'm SO hungry.

The burger itself is of PARAMOUNT importance of course. Theres no point getting your fancy buns, fresh crispy veg and exotic relishes if you're slapping a frozen Birds Eye quarter-pounder in it, cos it'll still be SHIZER.

I recommend a visit to the butchers in Southwick Square. They offer a bewildering array of QUALITY burgers (lamb or beef) with various flavours. Their chilli-flavoured burgers are quite literally to DIE for, and are an absolute MAINSTAY of any barbecue action at my gaff.

I can only go on what Sainsburys has to offer, unless there is a butchers on the scummy bit we know as London Road. Guess I could try Somerfield

Max - PITTA Bread, are you SURE??

 

[Easy 10]

I'm my BURGER

Can I be your BURGER too ?

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

A hash brown and garlic mustard from tesco!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Can I be your BURGER too ?

Yep.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Sainos have a fresh MEAT counter which does have some decent burger choices. You should be ok there. There are a couple of butchers down London Road which may be worth a go.

 

[maffew]

it should be a lamb burger preferably

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Steak haché, chargrilled. No other burger will do.

The best burger I have eaten in England was in The Settle Inn, Battersea. :lush:

Yes, I'm sure. I'm going to have to go to Saino's too you know, just realised there is a lack of ingrediants at home. Bugger.

I like using pitta bread as much as I can, it's not good to eat too much bread.


My new bbq favourite, btw, is a nice big field mushroom with a slice of shit processed cheese (melted), some rocket and some humous in a small pitta. It's ruddy lovely.

Make your own burgers - mince (and eggs yolk to bind the mince) and whatever else you fancy.

On s separate point - the french do not have mince as we know it. They mince up steak for you. It is all meat.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

The sainsburys best mature chedder & garden herb burgers are tip top brestt as are the chilli burger they currently have in their bar b range. of course you could always get some chuck & make your own burger

Nothing worse than cheap burgers that are made of shit cuts, I simply won't eat them! Burgers should always be fresh, not frozen and preferably homemade (its really not difficult)

That said, I went to a mates BBQ the other week and he used a fresh 10 pack of 1/4lb burgers from Asda that cost a fiver and they were very decent.

Best burger in my book:

Homemade patty with chopped onions and steakhouse pepper seasoning
Lightly grilled chunk of Ciabatta (just enough to be bigger than the burger) with a thin spread of mayo
2 slices of well cooked streaky bacon (although more recently i've got very partial to using sliced Chorizo instead)
Sprinkling of grated Cheddar (medium or strong - NEVER mild)
5 or 6 fried onion hoops
Burger relish (NOT ketchup)

I am now very HUNGRY!
