Did you have one?

I forgot there was a burger thread. I had this the other week when visiting friends- burger with Mac n cheese and a frankfurter. Was really delicious but it did me 2 meals.

Marks and Spencer launches huge 1kg 'Daddy of all Burgers'

Feeling hungry? This burger should fill you up. Marks and Spencer has launched the 'Daddy of all Burgers'.

The absolutely colossal burger weighs in at 1kg , which is more than 8 quarter pounders, and is ideal for sharing at summer parties - or keep it for yourself, we won't judge.

You don't even need to add cheese or bacon, as the 'Daddy of all Burgers' is filled with creamy cheese sauce and tender BBQ pulled beef , then wrapped in streaky bacon rashers.

It'll set you back £8.50 , which is more than your average burger but this isn't your average burger. You can even get a giant burger bun to put it in for £1.50.

We recommend at least four servings, but it will stretch further as part of your summer feast and can even be served as a tasty canapé. The tender pulled BBQ beef and creamy cheese sauce hidden centre adds that extra wow-factor to an already show-stopping centrepiece!

I just had a burger.

Bit of a cheek selling the bun separately though.

I love burgers (don’t get me wrong)....but....i hate this 500ft tall monstrosities you can’t fit in your mouth ! I’ve been thinking about this problem and i think i have the answer! Make the bun’s circumference larger!! And pack the toppings in randomly on the burger. I’m going to make millions.

 

[Ming]

Burger Pies! OK. That's too much. But we must meet in a consensus.

I agree 100%. Bun goes soggy often and you can't get the full experience with each bite.

I've already made that suggestion on this very thread!

It's always been shite.

Burger freedom.

Maybe I'll get one of those for my birthday

I'd try one but it breaks two of my personal burger no-no's. Firstly it's too big to get in your mouth and secondly pickles (were the fuck did that idea come from).

 

[Ming]

Genuine question. Do people like pickles on burgers? They love it in Canada (i got told in a jocular manner to ‘get out the fucking country’ for voicing how much i hate pickles on burgers). It must be my palate i suppose. I don’t mind them with salt beef and corned beef sandwiches weirdly though (but not in the same bite...sandwich then pickle...then sandwich (repeat).

 

[Chz]

Love 'em. But then I'm Canadian, so take that as you will.

 

[Badgers]

Pickled 'gherkins' are not something I would choose or add to my own burger. Can eat them but they don't add anything (for me) to the taste.

Pickled jalapeños are a joy in a burger. As are raw or cooked onions.

I’ve picked up a lot of Canadian culinary habits while i’ve been here(7 years). Hot sauce on eggs? Great. Montreal smoked meat? Amazing! Don’t get pickles on burgers though. I’m hoping to become a citizen next year (maybe it’ll start to make sense after i take the oath!).

Agree. Strange. Jalapeños yes. Pickles no.

Just seen this on Facebook. Burger with crumpets. Could see this actually working...

 

[Badgers]

Interesting ^

I like crumpets a lot and like burgers of course. Would be a messy meal if the crumpets (as photo suggests) are buttered.

Might give it a go

I haven't had a burger in months. But this week had to have 2 fast food meals so took a visit to BK, Whopper w. cheese, it is perfect, loads o salad, not too much "meat" and perfect condiment content including a dill pickle. A masterpiece of sandwichery.

The lad who sits next to me had a Big Mac and fries every day last week.
So far he has had one both days this week.

I actually feel a bit sick looking at that. And I'm literally in McDonald's as I type.

Thinking back I had a Scottish mate who used to eat battered burgers. Not with the bun, but still. To me a burger is grilled, so some of the fat drains off (not to much obviously). Deep fried its more like a sponge.

I had a battered burger once. It was as you'd expect really - tasty but filthy and followed by shame and regret. That sense of overwhelming grease after. Much the same experience wise as eating a battered sausage. Had burger pie once too, that was also dirty.

Anyway having burgers tonight. With skin on fries.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I rather like battered sausages, but my tolerance to grease has dropped a bit, so I'll do one battered and one regular when going to the chippie these days.

Thread needs more burger pics...
