Microwave Burgers... I know they are bad for me...

Personally I probably eat a couple of these every now and then (no more than once a month), its nice to just pop one in the microwave then some microwave fries, good to go in like 3 minutes and imo they dont taste half bad either, but then i've never been picky with my food :)
 
I make my own burgers with fresh mice, onion, salt and pepper, lee + perrins, paprika, pinch of chilli powder and egg to bind. Pure ingredients, no crap, 10 mins to prepare then you can grill/fry/griddle in no time at at all. Serve in a bap with cheese, mustard and ketchup. Nicer and far healthier than Rustlers microwave crap or even McDonalds/BK. You can even make them while you're drunk but exercise caution as burns/scalding may result....

Can second that , don't really need the egg to bind IMO
 
Ugh, i don't know how you can eat them, they taste like cardboard! They are so greasy too.

Nothing beats a good old ham and lettuce sandwich ;)
 
My friend usually has these lying around in the fridge. Their okay while completely drunk, but then so are most things. Whilst not drunk though :( they taste so bad its not even funny.

The people that think these taste good, i don't want to know what other things you eat in comparison. I bought some mincemeat, potatos, cheese, an onion and 2 carrots the other day.... 30 minutes later i had enough shepards pie for 2 nights. It tasted great, was far more substantial, and i'm happy in the knowledge i've helped local grocers and butchers not go bankrupt.

Sod micromeals, make them yourself.... once you start, you'll soon realise how bad these things really are.

Couldn't agree more ............. :o
 
i bought 2 of these from Tesco's online, it was only because it was on offer, just a quick and easy meal, it's not like i'm going to eat it all the time... i think they're alright... but i make up for the unhealthiness with vegetable juice and plent of fruit :p
 
My usual things are microwave tikka masalas or nachos n cheese from morrisons....the odd made up pizza from asda or a veggie/chicken pakora.

Opened my eyes to real food though. Mice n tatties with carrots,pees and turnip on the side. I refused it at first,gave in and asked for a little bit.....got a full playe and finished the whole thing. Strangely enough i wasnt hungry five minutes later.

I love home made stir fry,roast peppers,home made curries and home made soups. :( Just a shame my mum works shifts that mean shes not home till 7-9pm and my dad does night shifts,day shifts back shifts. :(
 
The problem with all cheap meats is the quality. My fiancées family are mainly cattle farmers, and you learn some interesting things about meat and the quality of the cattle it comes from when you are in close proximity to them. For example, things like Rustlers use the lowest quality meat (hence the price). Next lowest quality meat goes to tescos, asda etc. Highest quality supermarket beef is M&S. The highest quality is then butchers and specialist suppliers.

Make of that what you will, but when a cattle farmer tells you he wouldn't touch beef from a supermarket, what do you think they would do with a rustlers ;)
 
First things first, @ the OP: damn your eyeballs for making me hungry with all this chitchat about burgers :p

all microwave burgers taste crap, why not just get some burgers 35 mins under the grill and your good to go, + you can get like 8 burger s £1.50. pack of rolls £0.60 and a pack of plastic cheese and your sorted.

35 minutes? You're joking right? It'll be a piece of smouldering coal after that long under the grill :D

Some of the premium burgers in the supermarkets are pretty damn good, good enough that I rarely make my own. The best ones have to be the Aberdeen angus ones from Marks and Spencer, usually on offer 2 packs for £5. Then you get 8 really tasty 1/4 pounders for £5, you can't go wrong on that.
 
I HAVE THE SOLUTION

My ex-vegetarian flatmate introduced me to the wonderful world of vegetarian food. Now most it was is utter crap, but there is one shining light: vegetarian burgers. I buy the tesco ones and they are really good. From frozen, they microwave in a minute, taste good and best of all they have like 3g of fat per burger so they are really quite good for you (compared to most snacks). Tesco have their own brand of them and they are really good - in the frozen section. try them, its like £1.50 for 8.

I had the tesco finest aberdeen angus burgers yesterday, they were good but not great. I had a major munchies session on Monday and went to Waitrose and bought 4 burgers from the meat counter. I don't remember what all was in them, they had a strong apple taste and were probably the best burgers i've ever had.
 
Not sure if anyones said this. But if you have any of those burgers that say microwavable in 70 seconds, be very careful.

I read a news article online a while back that said if you put one of those burgers in a microwave for 2 minutes they catch fire and caused a massive recall of them iirc. Not sure if its entirely true.
 
last time I read the back of a rustlers burger that my friend brought... it contained a total of 36 E number additives... :eek: :mad: (that's including the sauce)

if your willing to put that much *poo* inside of you, feel free :) ;)
