Why do people buy Rustlers microwave burgers?

[Akagi]

When I made this thread I fully expected one post saying "You're drunk Acme, go to bed", a few random posts, and then a lock.

What on earth...

You might as well ask 'why do people go to McDonald's' ?

Convenience and laziness.

But McDonalds is so much nicer, I have been loads of times and I would go again.

Don't get me wrong, when I say "nicer" I don't mean "nice", but it is certainly several times better than that Rustlers thing.

I could fancy a McDonalds, the thought of another Rustler makes me feel ill. I'd rather go hungry. Or down a bottle of something extremely alcoholic first.

As bad as they are. They are godlike compared to some of the Rustlers imitations. Try some of the Rustlers rip offs. I had one once and I cannot describe how bad it was.

A rip-off of a rip-off of a burger rip-off?

Can we go deeper?

 

[Akagi]

I'm the same way with kebabs. Though I fancy them more often.

 

[Akagi]

Just get out there and bring down a fresh Elk. Dammit man, if a job's worth doing...

With my bare hands....

 

[Akagi]

A million times better! I would almost eat another one. But it still wasn't great...

Unless I'm some kind of pioneering whiz or founder or inventor, I can't really be anything other than poor at 19.

I do accept donations though.

Saveloy sausages are amazing.

The bbq rib is actually not too bad..

I hope you mean if you cook it in a way other than just shoving it all in the microwave?

 

[Akagi]

The secret to doing these properly is not to microwave the bun with the burger. Then you get a nice burger that isn't soggy and rubbery.

Yeah I did that the second time and it was better.

They always have a use by date months ahead, how is that possible. Same with those rolls thay you find at corner shop when they run out of normal ones. They have use by date in the next year.

All the nasty preservatives, and the nature of the packaging.

Had a rustlers burger and a McDonalds burger today. Can confirm that the McDonalds burger was better quality meat, with far better sauces and salad (as expected) but the quality of the toasted Rustlers bun made the Rustlers have an overall consistency closer to that of a "proper" burger.

For science!

 

[Akagi]

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 can cook pizza piece by piece in a toaster bag, in a toaster which is sideways.

Believe me, I was a student not long ago.

 

[Akagi]

Amateurs

Actually, more often than not I do it with combination of a cast iron pan then under the grill.

I ask you, can you fit that under your bed in a student room?

 

[Akagi]

How to make a pizza last a week.

Looking forward to your next tip.

Frying an egg on a GTX480 doesn't work and just makes a mess. Believe me, I was an idiot not long ago, and some say I still am one.

Microwave bacon is where its at. And I mean microwaving bacon. Not fancy 3-times-the-price microwave bacon.

Its 4AM, I have work at 9AM, and you have made me want to cook bacon AGAIN!

 

[Akagi]

I just have, then I put it back in microwave with some processed cheese slices on top to melt over. Yum yum.

I'm not back to work until next Tuesday.

I just had a lovely bacon sandwich...

Fried, not microwaved though. Protip, don't fry bacon using oil while topless.

 

[Akagi]

Ugh.

Apparently bacon tastes really good microwaved, but it just sounds so wrong.

 

[Akagi]

It shrinks and taste like crap.

people press it between two paper towels and then micro is IIRC... Another thing to try.

 

[Akagi]

Rubbery. Just like airline food.

Ahhhh wubberwee...

Have never been misfortunate enough to eat airline food. I assume it is probably all pre-prepared and re-heated.
