Burger Thread. Yes!

Soft white floury bap for me. Toasted on the inside only to assist with absorbing burger grease.

Usually a bit of bacon sliced into thin strips, cheese and some onions. Occasionally a few Jalapeños depending on mood.

Sauce varies. Sometimes a bit of mustard. Very occasionally ketchup. Quite like a tomato relish or salsa but on the side is better for me.

Tend not to have chips. Would rather have two burgers.
 
Anyone remember these? Another I've not had for ages. I'm not sure pineapple belongs in a burger any more than it belongs on a pizza but it tastes really good.

I like all the toppings on my home made burger.
Bacon, cheese, fried onions, one slice of beed tomato, jalapeno peppers, and I'll often have brown sauce and ketchup too.
The bun cannot be too bulky. I like a brioche bun that's not fresh out of the pack. That way everything stays put at least until I get it into my mouth.

Brioche is wrong. Simply wrong.

I’ve been converted to this approach to, did some lockdown burger making and decided quickly chips were a waste.

My technique is to broadly recreate the McDonald’s cheeseburger (but using better ingredients. Toasting the bun was key, and I found a really good sweet mustard in Aldi. I don’t feel tomato or lettuce belong on a burger, at least not one of homemade ones.
 
As an aside, and I know it is going to be controversial, but Lidl sell some very good vegan burgers. Not as good as real meat of course, but a reasonable alternative.
 

Number six.....Brioche Bun.
Number one.....pretzl bun.

Ha.. brioche is absolutely delicious with beef burgers.. just toast the bun.
Pretzel I’d give you, but never brioche. Brioche has its place, it’s wonderful for breakfast or in bread and butter puddin, but not with a burger.
 
When it's been 4 months since you last had a burger that you didn't make yourself, and the lockdown has finally been lifted. You're salivating at the thought of a big, juicy burger, so you jump in the car and drive into town for a mouth-watering 7.5 oz burger.

You queue for twenty minutes, respecting social distancing, then finally it's your turn to order. You order your meal, and wait patiently in the waiting area, knowing that this succulent burger is going to make it all worthwhile. Fifteen minutes later it finally arrives, and you sit and unwrap the parcel of meaty goodness you've waited oh so long to enjoy! And this is what you find... :(

They never look like the photo :)
Who are "supermacs"? Do Ronalds lawyers know? :hmm:
 
After all this discussion about the bun component, how do you feel about the cooking of the burger itself? I like mine slightly under done, sort of medium rare, a little pink in the middle and some juices running if possible. The burgers in many places are overcooked in my opinion.

It's not a steak. I don't want my minced meat of unknown origin to be raw in the middle.
