Is that a slider or are your hands small?

Breast as in chicken.

How in fuck do you "homemade" that... you slaughter that chicken ?

I think it's highly unlikely that he slaughtered the chicken.

He posted a big clue under the picture:

Secret recipe of 75% breadcrumbs 20% tempura flour, 5% salt, pepper, curry powder, love.

Little bit of mustard, lot of mayo, iceberg lettuce.

I'm sure you got what he meant first time though. Well, I hope you did anyway, but I'm not entirely sure having seen some of your previous work.

Not quite.

It died of natural causes when I was rooting it.

Does a chicwich actually count as a hallowed burger? Personally, I think they're two separate animals.

Technically no.

Practically, yes.

I'm soooooo tempted to fire up the Aberdeen Angus burgers in the fridge but it's a tad late here for indigestion.

I hope I don't live to regret this, but I've just devoured half a kilo of prime burger with only onions and ketchup...

Bollocks to beetroot etc

Keep it real!

Came across this new arrival at Makro (at least new at our regional store). 90% lean / 10% fat. I did a quick google on it at the store before I picked up the pack. Looks pretty descent. Will do up a burger next week and the rest will be for Tacos.

That's too little fat for a decent burger, I reckon. Maybe a burger steak.

Well let's see how it Q's up. That's the true test on how much fat is in it. It looked pretty lean but hard to tell vacuumed packed. That said though, 90 /10 is healthier for ya....

slap some butter on the plancher at the end to crisp and up the fat content

Hahaha. You know I did say I was trying to make it healthier.

2am? About the right time for a beer munchies burger.

What I love is that at 1:30am he is saying he doesnt want to eat a Burger at that hour.

28 minutes later, not only has he changed his mind, he's already cooked, assembled and eaten said burger, including a pic for TD.


RESPECT!

It was a worthy effort for sure, and a green is owed. It is also the perfect candidate to be posted in the "drunk food" thread.

The fat content is why I gave up on Foodland ground beef. It was also 10% and just too dry even cooked medium. I could get around no real beef taste, but not the fat percentage. Good to see you make your own patties, this is the only way. I will do a simple one up tonight with my Aussie ground beef. Its listed as 75/25 but when the wife commented it seemed "fatty", I reckon she was right so maybe 70/30. Simple means medium some grilled onions, cheese and a well toasted bun. I put the top of the bun on when I add the cheese and cover then reduce heat to low then turn off. Lately I have been very happy with the results.

Some days ya gotta go cheese, bacon, onion, pickles and smokehouse BBQ sauce.

Unless you add a handful of breadcrumbs and an egg to bind it.

yup, that will bind it. But won’t fix the taste.

Have to agree with willy, don't add egg or breadcrumbs to a pattie mix, a small amount of finely diced onion and garlic with pepper and salt and little fresh basil massaged through by hand. and then rolled and flattened by hand, straight onto the hot pan.
