You joke, the beef and bacon are cut and ground in front of me, then pressed slightly. I season it with salt and sometimes pepper and that’s it! Plus, don’t ruin bacon and chorizo! edit: bacon is an extra for special burguers, normal ones are 100% beef and they work perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid not just don't look into how bacons made then, speaking of which I have two packets of sulphites for breakfast tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're making the burgers yourself (or have a butcher like Pedro's) you're likely to be eating all sorts. My son has anaphylactic level allergies, I've spent 20 years reading or asking for ingredient lists, it's very boring but also shocking what extra crap is in food. They hardly ever contain only what you think they should. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear I've been TRIGGERED Soz the reply is long, a need to vent occurred. Nope. You can't easily find a butcher's shop full stop. They disappeared when supermarkets bulk buying power and convenience pulled the rug from beneath their feet. The population in the area I live in is over 60,000 so it's not small and yet no butchers. Of the two surviving butchers nearish to me one is half an hour driving plus queueing and the other (like many of them now) is an artisan affair offering meat cuts at triple the usual price. To be fair in some arena's the supermarkets in the UK have done an excellent job of wiping the floor with normal butcher's, the meat quality is stated on the packaging and is generally true, it's usual to have the choice of budget (low quality), average quality and premium plus all sorts of welfare and organic certifications on top of that. If you went to simply buy a chicken there would be about 5 or 6 types in at least three sizes. Fish on the other hand, you're screwed. No fishmongers survived and if you're not after basic common cuts of fish it has to be ordered online. The supermarkets have however mastered frozen and fresh prepared raw shellfish. The prepared shellfish I can buy in Spain is truly awful. Prawns have to be bought whole and raw (otherwise they've been boiled to death) which is hard work if you're used to buying good quality fresh raw peeled and deveined creatures. On the upside the fruit and veg is exceptional! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
