Ewww. Those things are like 1mm thick and they still manage to destroy your stomach.

Anything will destroy your stomach!

McDonalds burgers are so unfilling they may as well be imaginary. Even the very fattest ones will leave you with a void after minutes.

I've got the knack of Making Chicken Katsu Curry, simple and delicious.

[ETC]

The puke chain that is Macdonalds begs to differ.

I don't even class that **** as food, wouldn't even feed it to my mates dog

Correction - there is no such thing as a bad homemade 100% beef thick as a doorstep burger with bacon and cheese on it

[ETC]

Made my veg chilli again but as I have a head cold I spiced up the batch to try to clear it

Same as usual except

+2 scotch bonnets
+2 seeds and all rehydrated chipotles
+0.5 Bhut Jolokia

Is a batch of 8-12 portions


Working

Tasty stuff. I plan to make some next week. Will also be going heavier on the spice. My super tea is coming along nicely, refried beans are made, chicken is out of fridge and ha been marinated for nearly 24 hours now. Also making some pickled red onions, they are are also marinating in lime and orange juice. Cannot wait.

Here are the fruits of my labour;



24 hour mexican marinated chicken.
Home made refried beans
Corn Tortillas
Green Salad
Pickled Red Onions.

It was super good and I have enough to take to work for tomorrows dinner.

Problem with MacDonalds is not really the base ingredients but the people cooking them - they are all underpaid monkeys with no clue. So you end up with a product that looks nothing like the picture, with far too much grease left over from previous cooking and under or over caramelised buns, limp lettuce and no love. The burgers I used to make when working there were much nicer than the stuff most people would serve up. Problem is, it's normally a different person doing each bit - 1 person cooking the burgers from frozen in 42 seconds (trufact), another caramelising the buns, another assembling the finished product.

Not saying that they can ever be brilliant, but they can be a lot better than the dross you normally get served.

All this talk of burgers, definitely making some tomorrow I think. That said, in a few weeks i'll be in the US for 16 days, hamburger heaven............

You won't if I make it to your fridge by the morning (doubtful as I'm in Durham but I would travel far for that)

Smoked haddock and salmon chowder for tea tonight.

Well this is all you lot's fault, in and done the prep work for burgers later! Had the meat in a peri-peri marinade from last night, then it was various herbs, spring onion, red jalapeno, pepper, crushed chilli and a bit of tomato puree:



Two massive burgers just waiting to be grilled up!



I'll be doing them with grilled mature cheddar and mushroom on top on a proper crispy bun when I make us tea later. Though tempted to just make and eat mine now............

[ETC]

Looking good Colin don't be tight get the bacon on it too! Everything is better with bacon

I was boring I had a simple sausage sandwich hah
