What Makes Up The Perfect Burger

[Superphil]

...haven't been in that pub for years, is it still full of yahs, ponces and the terminally workshy?

Certainly is, including me this evening

I have to say the chicken burgers at the Gourmet Burger Kitchen in Gardener Street are AMAZING and MASSIVE. I like the one's with the Satay sauce.

For a take away, any Uncle Sams pretty much does it for me but the garlic burger is the BIZZO!

...time moves on but some things stay the same!

You do NOT have to put in egg yolk (or the other myth is that you need breadcrumbs to bind).

Any homemade burger will stay together as long as you chill it first (10 minutes in the freezer will do the trick.)

my favourite burger recipe is

mince,
onion
chopped fresh chilli
cumin
parsley,
oregano
salt/pepper
with a large piece of mozzarella in the middle that melts when cooked.

burger aside the rest has to be...

good bread (french, ciabbatta or bun - not fussy)
english mustard
gherkin
tomato
red onion
home made ketchup
big bowl of home made chips.

good post

I'd consider swapping the mozzy rella for a mature cheddar mind

I was going to make a big pot of sausage and tomato pasta for my tea today, now I am starting to wish it was home made burgers instead!

Can't beat home made ones or the ones from a respectable butcher

Agree totally, I make my own shish kebabs, well tasty!

I am rather keen to try one of these Southwick Square burgers, you do give a mouthwateringly good description for them, they sound rather delicious. It would also save me the need to go to the pub.

Do I need to wear camo gear and take my shotgun to ward off Southwick [toy] Soldiers?

I would recommend carrying a small flick-knife or perhaps a can of "Silly String" to squirt in their eye, should you be approached by one of Southwicks pre-pubescent paramilitia.

Is Southwick Square that shopping area just up from Southwick Station?

Yes. Yes it is.
You will find the butchers (imaginatively named 'Southwick Meats') nestling on the South side of the "square" (which is just a road really), almost opposite a branch of Forfars.

Perhaps I should take a photo of my multi choked 12 bore to show the young boys, that should scare them off.

yep cumin - don't knock it until you've tried it!

and what constitutes my favourite recipe does not mean it will be everybody elses...

I'd have thought taking along your multi-choked 12 bore to show them would be slightly more effective than showing them a photo of it.

What is a "multi-choked 12 bore" anyway ? I know its a shotgun, but whats all this choking business ?

You could cook us dinner for James' birthday tomorrow though?

YEAH! Do it!!! x

Quite. I can't say eating my burger with cum in appeals to me much, however.

Choking is a way of reducing the diameter of the end of the barrel (or barrels) of a shotgun to change the size of the shot pattern. This in turn allows you to choose your shells appropriately to suit the targets you are shooting.

For example, if you are shooting Skeet, or DTL or similar targets which are quite close to you and moving at speed, than it is best to use a wider choke and use a smaller guage of shot, thus increasing your chance of hitting the target, which should break quite easily as it is close.

With targets that are further away, typically English Sporting, then you really need a tighter choke combined with larger shot and even a heavier powder load, the targets are further away and the shot needs a tight pattern and plenty of power to ensure the target breaks. It's all down to the distance away the target is and ensureing the shot, when it reaches the target, still has enough power and a tight enough pattern to break the target.

For those who shoot game or rough, they tend to use quite a tight choke, larger shot and heavier loads to ensure a clean kill. (You don't want your Grouse or Rabbit to hobble off into the woods cos you only injured it).

I trust that clears that up.

Now then, back to burgers!

Ahh, interesting.
What kind of choke diameter would you recommend for (say) a Southwick Soldier, moving away from you at speed, at about 50 yards ?

I'd probably use Improved Cylinder (IC), which is one up from a skeet choke, with a size 8 shot and a 28 gram load. I quite like an RC Prestige shell at the moment, goes through the gun very cleanly, no jams, but they are getting pricey these days (£183 per thousand) so might have to look at something just as fast but a bit cheaper, Blue Diamonds go well.

Back to the burgers, whatever your choice of meat, get yourselves some St. John and Dolly Smith's Tomato and Scotch Bonnet sauce, just delicious. Link Here for Tomato and Scotch Bonnet sauce

They sell it in Grapes, just off Montague Street in Worthing.

[Superphil]

Oh, to answer your question properly, the bore of a 12 bore is 0.729" (18.5mm), the Improved Cylinder takes it down 5 thou
