Home Made Burgers

[Steve Walker]

* Be sure to ask your butcher for calf testicles, not bull testicles. Calf testicles

are the size of a walnut and are much more tender than the larger bull testicles.

 

Reminds me of an old joke;

 

"I know Señor, but sometimes the bull wins"

 

[five bellies]

I like them best grilled outdoors, preferably on charcoal. Worcestershire or A-1 sauce adds flavor mixed into the ground beef. Swiss, cheddar, or jalepeno cheese melted on top taste great, too. Buffalo burgers (bison) taste good too, but they're a bit dry because the meat is so lean.

 

Ever had mountain oysters?

 

 

The last Bison In the uk died on the end of a cave mans spear,apart for a few in zoo's so we will have to take your word for that

 

But the woscestershire sauce and cheese bit sounds good to Me

 

 

Elton,

 

Pound of minced lamb, two crushed garlick cloves,three Oz grated ginger,finely choped onion, Five Table spoons of chopped coriander, season with salt and pepper, three tea spoons of Kolinar Madrass curry Powder,Kneed all the ingrediance together, and leave for an hour for the flavours to develop shape into pattis and BBQ over Charcoal,

I'm loving these ideas, but the misses has told me I've got to eat all the ones I've made so far before I'm allowed to make any more

I bow to you FB, a lamb recipe that doesn't contain mint! Every commercially available lamb burger type product that I have come across is liberally laced with the bloody stuff! I know I could make my own - and with your recipe now will - but not everybody likes mint and those that do can bloody well put it on themselves as far as I'm concerned.

 

And another thing - why can't you buy lamb sausages? Apart from making your own has anybody seen any? And if you did were they stuffed full of bloody mint as well!

Serve warm with your favorite hot sick bowl.

 

Ick. I can't help but imagine that a lot of steers are castrated each year in the name of gourmet cooking. I wonder if Matzo Ball Soup has calf balls in it?

I thought this thread was going to be about home made burqas. I thought that would have been widening the cultural net quite dramatically.

Totally agree!! I never understand these "supposed to go together" things. It's like 'pork and apple'. No, the only thing that goes with pork is more pork

If you do like cheese melted on the burger (cheeseburger) - Jan tried a thing she had read about that works really well.

 

Make a patty but much thinner than you normally would

Place your cheese on top

Make a second patty, also thin, and place it on top then meld the edges.

 

Severus - if you mix about 1/3 ground pork in with the bison meat it works really well. Very little change in taste but plenty of fat.

The farm shop near Rhug in Mid-Wales has a herd of Bison I think, might be buffalo, I can't remember now.

 

The farm shop near Brynsiencyn on Anglesey sells Lamb sausages with red wine and garlic which are delicious.
