Burger Thread. Yes!

a hint of pink in the middle is enough, but if I'm honest I prefer 3oz patties, twice rather than a big hunk o meat
 
I don't mind a more done burger but I cry if my steak isn't rare.


I approve of dirty burger. It's not as good as honest but better than bleecker. Quite wet (messy) but the bun held together and I ate it quickly. I also really liked the onion rings (red onion in quite thick batter) although probably prefer the other ones I had recently that may have been Byron (I don't know! All the nice foods). So I had the bacon one which luckily didn't mean sans cheese.

The argument against anything other than well done are

1. Medium rare works well for non fatty fine cuts of meat, but burger meat is rarely as fine as steak meat and fattier so should be cooked longer.

2. Minced meat is more likely to have bacteria, so needs to be cooked longer.

It doesn't matter to me, my wife will only eat well done red meat, so my burgers are cooked to a inch of their life.

i wouldn't have a rare McDonalds.
but a nice burger that's a freshly minced nice bit of beef, is a fine thing to have fairly rare.
if its fat enough, you get the nice seared outside, and the soft, meaty inside with all of its juicy goodness.

i probably prefer my burger rarer than my steak.

Just to add some controversy. When it comes to steak I'm a aristocrat (medium rare). But I've lately learned that having you burger cooked anything other than well done, is well, wrong.

Thoughts. Burger Lad?

Pah. There's nothing wrong with having it cooked pink. I like a medium burger. Pinkest I had I think was either The Tavern Cheltenham or The Bird in Berlin.
 
If you've got decent mince, freshly ground in front of you in a good butcher's kind of thing, do it rare. Slow smoked, soft and squishy, served before all the juices cook away; just give it a flash cooking over a searing hot grill right at the end so the outside is sealed up and you can feel it break as you take a bite.

Burger porn. Talk dirty to me.
 
Scientists in Japan have created the world’s first (and presumably last) burger made entirely out of human faeces. It’s the brainchild of Mitsuyuki Ikeda from the Okayama Laboratory, who mixed protein extracted from human poo with soya beans and steak sauce to mimic a hamburger’s meaty flavour.

I like the proper scientific naming of the product. SHIT BURGER

Fake yetman

And here’s the clincher. The photo of Ikeda in the ESD-J document bears a truly uncanny resemblance to the guy in the YouTube video. He looks just like him, his hair is the same style, and both men have identical blemishes on the right cheek. For all intents and purposes, he is him. The only distinction is that the guy in the 2006 report looks about 15 years older. No one knows when the YouTube video was actually made, so it’s entirely plausible it could have been made in the 90s. Did the UNESCO Director really once moonlight as a genuine sewage scientist? Or, *shock horror*, was this environmental consultant and educator the mastermind behind a viral hoax during his misspent youth? I’m tempted to think the latter is the case. What were his motives, then? A cash-strapped engineer rising up to a dare? A bored graduate student looking for a distraction? But perhaps I’m too much of a jaded cynic. Perhaps Mr. Ikeda, with his lofty hopes for world peace, and a balanced, sustainable environment, really did transform sewage to steak, and aspire to feed starving millions with his fecal meat.

Been awhile since I subjected you to pictures of my dinner.

Mexican spiced burger with sweet potato chips roasted in coconut oil. Nando's extra bloody hot sauce mixed with mayo.
From the ground up: Leaves, onion, burger, cheese, tomato, chilli mayo and roasted capsicum.
Galaxy hopped pale ale.

Fantastic.

Help me burger thread. Agreed to make them at work tonight, but the grill has broken and we've got all the stuff in. Can they work in the oven? :(

I am with you. Even medium mince is just rank.
It tastes like the smell of a butchers iyswim?
And I like my steak virtually walking off the plate dripping blood behind it :D
 
I was going to have a McDonalds double cheeseburger today but one wouldn't have been enough so I had (XO) Marmite on toast with ketchup instead. You may call me wrong.
