This is it: the world's BEST burger!

Here's my secret recipe for the ultimate hamburger (why is it called HAMburger when it's actually dead COW meat?!) :

Ingredients (in whatever quantity you fancy):


  • Minced beef (really good quality needed here: Angus from Scotland, or Salers, i.e. the breed from the Cantal area of France) with 5% fat only, or some non-meat nutty substitute for vegetarians
  • Two slices of thick REAL bread, lightly toasted
  • Proper ketchup (not cheap stuff full of sugar please)
  • Very thinly sliced tomato (not too much because it makes the bread soggy)
  • Mayonnaise (home-made if possible)
  • Dash of basalmic vinegar
  • Sliced salad fresh from the garden (if you have one)
  • Spring onion (white and green bits), thinly chopped
  • Thinly sliced cucumber
  • Drop of raisin seed oil
  • Dash of Worcestershire sauce
  • Melted cheese (only Saint-Nectaire will do, i.e. one of the best French cheeses!)
  • A splodge of some red pimento condiment...
  • Two leaves of basil


What to do:

Lightly cook the meat, melt the cheese, and toast the bread, then pile on the ingredients in whatever order you fancy... Enjoy!
