I was so upset I couldn't finish my prawn sandwich. I'll stuff it under my cap for later on. The funny thing I played ore cricket in my first five years in British Columbia than I ever did in twenty five years in England. My qualifications to play cricket? A plummy English accent apparently.

I have no idea what that means I think it might mean 'debut', as a guess. That's how an aussie would say debut I guess. Dayboo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually served with a gravy. Great comfort food with mashed potatoes and green beans ideally. So, a deconstructed cottage pie, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 The difference between Four Four Two the magazine and their Twatter feed is stark. Great magazine with intelligent articles. The Twatter feed is nothing but inane filler and stupid questions like "What player broke your heart ?" Sad spectacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great magazine with intelligent articles. That is seemingly totally unaware of the existence of Aston Villa. OK, there's a short Rotterdam 82 article in this month's issue, but that's a mega rarity. They recently had a "Best 100 players in the Premier League" feature with no mention of Coutinho (I expect the excuse was that he was still on loan, but come on).

Nope, nor egg, which is the difference, they're binding agents, same as you would use with mincemeat when making your own burgers but without being sure here I'd guess meatloaf uses more breadcrumbs which is what makes it what it is effectively a big burger but then baked rather than grilled giving it a different texture Did you ever try a chopped cheese when living in New York? That's on my list of things to try, to be honest when I was in NY it completely passed me by and I was going to 2 deli type places a day for food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't make burgers with bread crumbs. I use an old fashioned recipe which is a packet onion soup mix mixed into mince meat. Very 1950's but with grass fed beef you can't beat it.

villa4europe Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Chopped cheese looks like a phillie cheese steak competitor from the NY delis and bodegas You grill burger patties, need to get that kind of burnt crispness on the outside of them, then chop them up getting them closer to mince meat, put some green peppers on there, then some American cheese, mix it all up, serve on a hero roll with lettuce and tomato, not sure what sauce goes with it The main thing is you have to cook the meat as a burger because it changes the texture, if you chop it up first it won't cook the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to add a binder but I find it easier to cook them of you do, if you want perfectly round burgers that flip easy then use an egg in the mince 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I can go to Egbaston cricket ground to watch a sport I dont like (yesterday, first time in forever)and I can get a pint whenever I want from a huge array of selection. I can go a 30 second walk from my seat and can get chicken, pizza, fish and chips, donuts, crepes, vegan options, burgers , pies and anything else I've forgotten. I can to VP and get none of that, or be prepared to spend 25 minutes in a queue. ...and I've just spent 150 quid more than last year for the privilege.

Come on you lazy bastards! *) That said American biscuits and gravy is up there with their gun laws, healthcare and date formatting, absolute wrong uns * that's another thing on american cooking, watching baking shows and everything is out of a packet, fondant is a packet, butter cream is a packet, the fruit fillings are from packets, I'm amazed American bake off doesn't let them use pre made sponges because that's about the only thing they do Don’t you dare come after biscuits and gravy!
