I just felt a great disturbance in the force, as if a million angry feminists all cried out at once...

Well they shouldn't go home with strange men who eat skanky meat.

In my eyes, a burger should be nothing other than mince and salt. Pepper is to be added at the end otherwise it burns.

adding egg and other such nonsense is a travesty.

raw onion added to a burger....philistine..

After about 48 hours, when it has sufficiently cooled, I bit into it.

Maybe this is where you went wrong

i personally like Rustlers, back in the days when i had a girlfriend, if i couldn't be bothered to cook for myself i would grab one, purely because they were a quid from the supermarket!

its no secret that there is probably barley any real beef in them.

Still, the taste wasnt too bad.

Dat fat doe

I have only ever had one, probably about five years ago now.

I can understand that for lazy students (I was one once) they might be tempting. But yes, they are horrific.

This has all gone horribly wrong, ever since the first person told me to toast the bun and use my own tomato sauce, I kind of like them. Abort, abort!!!

You could say that about anything though.

I'm currently going through a phase of cooking my own pizzas which I find simple but people still happily £20 for Domino's to do it for them. Go figure

Those are good quality, I would like to be able to make pizza's like this but I don't think I could ever get them to turn out like this

I have a hard time cooking supermarket bought pizza'a they never seem to cook evenly they always seem to cook around the outside first then slowly work inwards and if I leave it in long enough to cook 'fully' then the outside edge starts to burn badly so I have to take them out a bit early leaving the cheese in the centre still yellow and the rest orange.

Any tips?

I think the point he's making, is that those people are cooking the burgers in a way which contradicts the instructions and defeats the simplicity of the "put in microwave for 60 secs. done."

No microwave, no purchase?

It's meat and bread....how do you cook meat without a microwave?

On the stove !

Bread can be eaten cold or heat up in the oven, or grill or even place it on the pan that you are grilling the meat with.

I can book pizza without an oven, you just got to think hard

Key points:

1.It won't taste as good (to everyone else, not you because you made it and off course it taste godly)

2. Who has the time for that ****

3. Its only £20. Guess what - for about 15% of the UK that's absolutely nothing

Well if you like horrible processed toppings cheese and dough made by dirty **** stained hands for £20 then that is your call.

You can make a good home made pizza for about £2 all in.

OhEsEcks · 2 Sep 2014 at 23:00

1. Domino's are rank.
2. How long do you think it takes? How long does it usually take a pizza parlour? Not long.
3. £20 for a pizza is ****ing retarded no matter how loaded you may be.

The other 85% think 20 quid for cheese on toast is a rip off.

I suppose you can afford to have that attitude when you have £10k a month hitting your account.

Bought one when they first came out and threw it away after one bite.

These things are disgusting.

Wrong, I've made it for several different people and been told by one he preferred it to Domino's (admittedly they aint his favourite anyway but still), another bloke who is brutally honest about everything it was "ridiculously nice" and a work colleague who said he 'would honestly pay good money for it'.

I know you'll think it's just people humoring me but I'm pretty good judge of character when it comes to people I mentioned.

zegna said:

OK so you need to let the dough prove for at least 2 hours but making it takes 10 minutes and cooking it takes just another 10 mins. Last time I ordered a Domino's it took an hour to come.

And guess what, the 15% richest people in the country don't eat Domino's. The 15% poorest though.....
