    Pretty near, yeah. >_>


    I went out for lunch to get a nice sammich and a cuppa today. I wanted spicy beef, but was told they'd just run out. I was saved from my heartache though by a cunning staff member who offered to make me the same sammich with chorizo instead of beef. Omnomnom.

    I used live over on the Boreenamanna road, but I regularly travelled to Pope's Quay for my perscription doses of pizza and beer.

    Hello Charming Person.
    Don't believe I have had the pleasure of encountering you before.
    How nice of you to appoint yourself as my culinary coordinator but no need. All is under control for I am forewarned because I once had a Cajun meal in Hull which is pretty much the same thing. It was interesting.

    For some reason the 'Transylvanian' or 'Tranny' burger is not on their menu (http://www.kcandco.ie/hamburger.html) anymore but it is a classic. It is the perfect garlic burger.

    Hefty claims! What proof do you bring to the table to substantiate this "perfect" moniker?

    40 years of eating them.

    I have eaten garlic burgers in 5 continents, in both hemispheres, on both shores of the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian oceans and the best I have ever had come from a chipper 10 minutes walk from where I grew up.

    Beef, enough garlic to attract the attention of the VAT man, a bun... anp some form of binding agent like an egg so the beef = burger not beef = fried mince plus some seasoning.

    The proof is in the tasting, trying to explain it in words is like trying to explain the colour purple to Ray Charles.

    Well you see Ray, it focuses mainly around the experience of women in 1930's Georgia. Already got Georgia on your mind? Good! Right. It starts of with Oprah something or other, and the guy from Lethal Weapon. No, the older one...

    Ray - :cool:

    Might I suggest a biscuit to go along with your beverage? Not that we're food obsessed of course...

    Egg is vitally important in a burger I have to admit.
    There was a place on Richmond street across from my second year diggs in college that had one called the "Belly Burster" and oh myyyyy it was tasty - haven't had anything like it since but the place must have changed hands at least four times since along with the recipe :(

    There is absolutely no need for any binding in a burger.

    Good quality mince is all you need.

    When you are cooking them on the scale needed in a business like a chipper there is.

    I don't know what their exact recipe is - I am making an educated guess based on years of experience working as a chef. I do not taste cereals or other bulking agents, I do taste quality beef and the way the burger holds together makes me say egg binding but not an excessive amount.
