My burger, I shall call the Tarte Flamburger, consists of a beef patty on ciabatta bun with a tarte flambé style sauce, made from cheese, creme fraiche and bacon, with either mustard or apricot jam.

How interesting, you say. I know, sez I.

are burgers still a thing? I thought donuts were the new bandwagon
My burger I shall call “The Phoenix” and is shall consist of a base bun, gingerly laid on a bed of carboard, a solid pattie of pure morketing, nicely spun, stacked nice and high, like the much needed many, many office blocks being lashed up, some nice leaves of salad to keep the rain off, a lot of templemore stilton, some tracker ketchup, generously applied, then removed for the authentic and criminally inept non-regulation taste, topped off with a waiting list gerkin of laughable dispair.
The thought of that makes me want to puke
‘My burger, I shall call the Frilly Bap consists of a ¼ pounder, grilled ta’medium, topped with dripping googhie Gouda with fried mushrooms embedded into the yellow, a proper cluster of onion rings sitting between the meat and the bottom bed of grilled brioche bun.
