Burger Thread. Yes!

[Part 2]

They also do an excellent cod and chip.

Interested...do you really refer to it as chip in the singular or is that a typo and missing an 's'?

Reason I ask is because I've heard a lot of people in Manchester refer to 'crisp' in the same way.

Due to some 'dental issues' I have not been able to enjoy a burger of late

Will remedy this once the offending tooth is gone

Maybe my taste buds are wacked, but when I picked up brioche buns in Aldi recently to give it a go they didnt taste sweet at all. I thought brioche just meant it was made with butter and the sugar was optional?

You are correct - people who think the brioche buns you get with burgers are sweet, are either using the wrong buns or have malfunctioning tastebuds.

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.

See, you're a wrong-'un. Mince has to be thoroughly cooked.

 

[dessiato]

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

The burgers that I use come from a known source. I also know how they are made.

Yeah. If ordering I say "one cod 'n' chip" or "one and one".

I'd want to be scouring the flesh from the carcass myself, and then testing it in a microbiological lab myself, if I was going to eat it raw.

But if you're not dead then you might just be lucky.

And? Does knowing where they come from prevent bacteria on the surface from being mushed into the middle when it's minced?

I'd eat it. Onions, capers but not the parsley. My wife would be very upset with me for doing so. She would probably watch me like a hawk for a few days until she was certain I wasn't going to die.

Did you mean "wasn't"

Proper steak tartare, delicious, if you have the stomach for it

Did the whole eat out to help out for lunch. Fairly decent burger for the price, not sure I'd pay full for it. Nice bit was some ale onions in between the burger and the cheese, very tasty. I'm paying for them now though.

Sounds tasty, how was it?. I have tried to make bean burgers in the past but they never turned out good.

That looks really excellent. Great thick cut chips.

A bit gloopy if I am honest, it didn't firm up enough, it was still pliable.
It went down very well with Mrs Tag and thats what counts.

Triple McDs cheeseburger anyone?
...........

 

[KatyF]

Went to Brighton yesterday and had this giant burger. Triple chicken, bacon and cheese. Fries were topped with BBQ sauce, mustard, crispy onions and bacon bits. Tasty but wish I'd gone for the beef not the chicken.

 

[cybershot]

Whilst the type of buns has been a topic lately. Here’s a Mac n cheese bun while at cheese fest yesterday.

 

[Badgers]

Having lazy frozen chicken quarter pounders today. Served in cheesy rolls with mayo, a suggestion of cheese and spinach.

Buttered the rolls

 

[Saul Goodman]

Fancied a burger and chips tonight. The fryer hasn't been used for the guts of a year, so it got treated to a clean and fresh oil.

 

[Aladdin]

Those chips are huge!

 

[klang]

Those chips are huge!

or that burger is very small.
