mikeyp102 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 So with the bacon sandwich thread getting discussion, what do people have on burgers? Normally, I'd go lettuce, then the burger with bacon and bbq sauce on top on a brioche bun. Sometimes throw a fried egg on as well. However, best one I had was in Australia and NZ.. Lettuce, Advocado, pineapple Burger and Bacon.. 1
dAVe80 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Cheese, bacon, bbq sauce, lettuce. On occasions, just English mustard.
knoppy1987 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Lettuce, fried onions and tomato. I am not a huge fan of too much cheese on a burger but I will give most things a try on them. Most recently I went for fried mushrooms with a mature cheese. I also eat burgers with a knife and fork. Constantly getting told it is wrong but I just enjoy the burger more eating it this way.
choffer Posted September 7, 2016 VT Supporter Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Cheese, onion, gherkin, mustard, ketchup. i finally tried a Five Guys burger recently. It was better than expected but I think I was spoiled in NZ a few months ago by their chain BurgerFuel. They have one called the Ring Burner and another which is simply called Bast*rd which was the best burger I've ever had. Edited September 7, 2016 by choffer 1

Wainy316 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 What's with all the BBQ sauce? Far to sweet, might as well just smear your burger in chocolate.

Midfielder Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 36 minutes ago, choffer said: Cheese, onion, gherkin, mustard, ketchup. That's the one. Plus, I must be some kind of redneck because you could give me a gourmet burger in a restaurant, or give me Waitrose ingredients to cook at home but no burger taste like a match day burger van burger. Complete with a ketchup smear on your cheek that no one told you was there all day, a blob on your shoes for good measure and the Brad Pitts later that evening. Sign of a good burger. 1

Ryan. Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Burger, rocket salad, beef tomato, grated cheddar, scotch bonnets, West Indies pepper sauce
Ryan. Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Jalapeño's are for hipsters with Victorian beards.

sharkyvilla Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 My Dad made the best burgers growing up, just simple mince that he used this squishy thing to make them into shape. That with plastic cheese slices and ketchup was my absolute favourite and still hard to beat.
TB Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 I love burgers, but try to avoid having them too often. So whenever I succumb to the craving I prefer to make them at home. Lettuce / red onion / thin slice of tomato / jalapeños / chipotle mayo. Then a burger made with chopped garlic/hint of nutmeg/some chili/salt/black pepper/smoked paprika, with a slice of cheddar or port salut / bacon / hot tomato sauce on top. Occasionally with a couple of slices of mushroom, fried in butter with some garlic. There's enough decent varieties of ready-made burger buns available in local shops, so I prefer to buy the buns just make burgers and double (or triple) - cooked chips. A nice, dark ale (or two) with the burger, and I'm happy . Until I'm paying the price of having to exercise more or eating more salads over the next few days, that is. :-(
TB Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 @Ryan.: Jalapeños are for anyone that loves the taste of jalapeños :-) And surely the idea of a hipster with a Victorian beard is bordering on an oxymoron?
Ryan. Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) No it definitely is an oxymoron scotch bonnets are hotter and have a much more intense flavour, I got no room for fence sitters in my ultimate burger. Edited September 7, 2016 by Ryan.
villa4europe Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Brioche bun is definitely the way forward if I'm doing my own its cheese (the cheap horrible slices only) mustard on the bottom, tomato sauce on the top, red onion and gherkins if I'm out then I'll go mad, had one recently at rub that was pulled pork a crispy creme donut and candy floss...love the gourmet burger kitchen and I'm pretty near clearing their menu, 5 guys is shit
