Hellmann's Smokey BBQ Sauce

Geeeeeeeeeez , This stuff should come with a warning as it's like eating a bonfire...

Are you eating it on it’s own!

If you think that's spicy, an actual hot sauce must blow your head off.

Ice Tea · 1 Oct 2018 at 10:36

It's not spicy , just an overpowering smoky flavour so you can't taste anything else.

Liver and onions with gravy. Lots of it too, I'm famished.

Asian style salad dressed with soy/honey/ginger/lime/sesame oil with a little bit of rare rump steak and peanuts.

I see that only half of it is in focus, must be taking tips from here.

Not like they used to be

I remember when they had powder on and actually tasted like milk

Totally agree. They're not the same. I believe it was Barratt that made the original ones. Still, once I got past the taste not being as good, I still enjoyed these, but they're more sugar than flavour.

You should try the ones from Marks and Spencer, they're still covered in powder.

I think mincing a wagyu beef for a burger patty is sacrilege, you might as well get some regular lean beef and throw in a lot of fat to a ratio of 60/40.

Wagyu is best served unmolested.

this.

I asked my butcher to make up a mix for me a few weeks ago, 70%mince, 20%brisket fat and 10% bone marrow.

Simpy amazing.

Wow, that sounds like an amazing mix for a burger. I often get the butcher to chuck some brisket fat in for me but next time I'll be asking for bone marrow too.

Do they taste like the proper original milk bottles though?

No idea, I've only recently started eating milk bottles. These are the best ones I've come across though.

Does anyone make "smash burgers"?
Put your 50g ball of burger meat into a scorching pan, leave it a second then squish it with a heavy spatula, lean on it (or put a big weight on top) to getloads of nice crispy beef, then flip, squish and add cheese.
Blew my mind the first time I did it on a griddle pan on the BBQ.
Need two patties each at least, per burg.

Had a light lunch at All Bar One. A open faced lobster mayo sandwich and a side of chips. Not bad at all.

I bet those are really nice.

Bit expensive though, I only wanted a quick and cheap snack so I got these. Pretty average tbh but they were ok I suppose.
