I don't think I am.....

[swizzells2003]

Just wanting to check - promised DH burgers for dinner. Bought said burgers from Asda and not the butchers like he was expecting. He's now sulking, not eaten them and said he's getting a kebab for dinner..... I think I shall pour some wine and let him sulk!

You appear to be married to a child. I suggest docking his pocket money.

Sounds like he's overtired. Give him a sippy cup of milk then pop him in bed.

If the Asda burgers are crappy ones (think Birds Eye thin frozen ones) and the butcher's ones were nice thick proper ones I could see his point, but if they're similar....

I hope his kebab is thoroughly disappointing

Minced cow from ASDA rather than minced cow from the butcher, and now the poor little love has to have minced sheep instead. Bless him.
I agree the poor little boy is tired, maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

Anyone else desperate to know the secrets of MissConductUS's burgers?

• use ground sirloin, not chuck.
• 5 ounce patties, and yes, you have to weigh them to ensure uniformity of cooking.
• coarsely ground sea salt and pepper on the outside of the burger, never mixed in with the meat.
• cooked on a very hot charcoal fire, never gas, six minutes per side.
• the cover must remain on the grill during the cooking to insure both sides cook evenly.
• hickory smoked bacon and cheddar cheese added in the last 3 minutes if desired.
• you must use a top quality roll, something like what you Brits call a "crusty cob", or what we would call a Kaiser roll or a hard roll.

I hope that covers it.

I agree with PeterRabbitt. If he’s not normally an arse, forgive and move on. We can all be ungrateful wretches sometimes! 😀

Cook all the burgers, eat yours, feed his to the unfed cats, sit back and watch him sulk/eat crappy kebabs!

Tell him not to fall over his bottom lip, when he gets up ! 😂

Hope his kebab gives him food poisoning

Ah well... more for you op!!!

Thanks MissConductUS, they do sound very good indeed.

We are at Chez Blathers currently obsessed with brioche buns for our burgers but I can see how a crusty cob would work.

I'd tell him to bloody do the food shopping!
We like Asda burgers in our house!
