Burger Thread. Yes!

[Epona]

Anyway after all this talk of MaccyD's I am going to be sorely disappointed if one of the U75 food intelligentsia doesn't turn up with a photo of their wagyu burger with high altitude yak cheese in an artisan brioche bun decorated with edible gold flakes. Probably so tall it has to be held together with a skewer and can only be eaten in a "deconstructed" manner. Oh and served on a roof tile, with fries in a miniature chimney pot.

Are the vouchers still on the back of the receipt, or is it all e-vouchers these days? I can't use those because I don't have data on my phone so can't access them when I'm in there placing my order.

Grabbed the Metro on the bus last week. Same vouchers can be nabbed from WH Smith if you can face going in there

The app has weekly offers and such too

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I wouldn't say no to either...

Do you just need to download the app then?

 

[Epona]

I can't do apps for that sort of thing, I'm on wi-fi only, no data to do that sort of thing outside of home network wi-fi range

 

[Badgers]

Do you just need to download the app then?

Yeah

 

[Badgers]

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Yeah

Feels a bit dirty installing it on my phone, but yeah ok, I'll have a look.

You can order at home. Then log into the McDs Cloud WiFi when you arrive and they prepare your order.

Cool, thank you! I am what they class as "economically inactive" right now - not claiming benefits but no income (ie I am completely reliant on other people), phone is an addition to OH's contract and I have no data plan - I could of course buy some sort of top up if I wanted to do payg data but it isn't worth it just for McD's app and the like

So is the chicken big mac the big mac sauce? I'm not sure about chicken and gherkin.

Went to One Stop, having still not shaken my hangover and saw they Rustlers burgers at two for £3. Not had them for a decade I think. Managed to pick up a meatless one by mistake as well as the quarter pounder. Not sure it makes much difference. Right now I don't feel great about my life choices.

Rustlers do the trick for a quick fix sometimes but you do need to add ketchup.

 

[Badgers]

Had a few of these



Not for a while mind

 

[Epona]

I've never had one, is it something that requires a microwave?

Very much underrated is a Rustler.
Mrs N and I developed this weird behaviour of having them, without fail, every year when watching the Eurovision.

You can microwave them, but they're better if you disassemble, heat the burger separately under the grill and lightly toast the bun IME.

Si.

As they are they are acceptable as Spy said as a quick fix.
We always added a nice thick tomatoe slice, bit of iceberg and some extra cheese.

Ah ok - I don't have a microwave and the disassemble and heat method sounds no more convenient than a pack of frozen quarterpounders and a pack of burger buns

That probably explains why I've never had one

 

[Spymaster]

You can probably heat them in an oven but microwaving them in a few seconds is their thing.

The whole thing sounds pretty grubby but they're actually not bad at all.

Ooh... never had one like that.

the burger is already cooked so it's ready lots quicker I guess?

 

[killer b]

also I've never encountered a frozen burger that wasn't totally revolting. The rustlers actually taste somewhere in the same ballpark of a mcdonalds. not a bad emergency belly filler IMO

You've been getting the wrong frozen burgers, some are ok and significantly better than McDs

 

[Epona]

Seriously, the last Big Mac I had, the beef patties were like hockey pucks that had been hammered really thin.

which are the right ones?

 

[Epona]

These ones are alright!

Significantly better than a McD's patty.

Don't get the Lidl QPs though, full of gristle.

 

[Epona]

I hate this thread, every time I look at it I want a burger. We're having home-made Tex-Mex type fare tonight but I really fancy burger and chips now.
It isn't possible though.

I'll give them a try sometime and report back. though they don't share the simple advantage Rustlers have, which is being available from the late night shop between the pub and your house.
