WHAT???????
Did you say BEEF STEAK BURGERS ????? |
| What
is It ? |
Yes we
did.....90% Prime Scotch Angus Beef, lovingly ground and shaped into
round things. As John Lydon so allegedly and eloquently put "Any animal
as stupid as a cow deserves to be eaten". Bemuddlement does not
necessarily agree with this point of view...
|
| Where
to find it |
Roaming the hills of the
Scottish lowlands...sorry...meat cabinet Sainsbury's
|
| Likelyhood
of finding |
Very good. Many
people are put off by the the illogical ticket/queuing system of the delicatessen/cheese/butchers counter,
but at 7:30pm on a Monday night....no problem. Simply stroll up to the
counter and just ask for "Two of those red round things there"
(well its been a long time since Bemuddlement Chefs ordered any
meat...we can't tell our Hocks from our Shanks).
|
| Complimentaries |
Our Bemuddlement Chef went for
- Petit Pois with Carrots
- Sainsbury's Instant Mash
- Vegetarian Gravy

Your mission,
should you except is to transform this into Bemuddlements first
carnivore outing. Note judicious use of aluminum foil. Do not be
misled by the Smash tin, it does in fact contain Sainsbury's own
brand instant mash. A superior Instant potato, but unfortunately
served in an inferior cardboard box. Smash tin to the
rescue. |

| Wine |
Wine Box..opened...Kumala Cab Sav/Shiraz.
|
| Preparation
Notes |
Grill
Burgers...retreat..turn occasionally... once burgers look done (ish) kettle and gas on to heat Petit Pois and prepare the the Instant Mash plus
Gravy.
OK we haven't done this for a while. This is almost
proper cooking. The Burgers are better off grilled...so its bacofoil time to save washing up. Now these burgers take 20 mins to grill, so what do we do in the meantime?......

Ah! Sweet Red
Wine... the ideal time gap filler. Note Ernst and Gallo Wine
tasting glass. This wine tasted..like errr...wine. |
|
| Calories |
God knows...we do know that a tin of Petit Pois with
Baby Carrots equals 104 calories...but to be honest we are rediscovering
eating here so to hell with the calories. |
| Serving
Suggestion |
Our chef tonight went for a traditional "meat and two Veg layout" although the whole
tin of Petit Pois and Carrots may have been a mistake.

How do the
Bemuddlement Chef's come up with works of genius time and time
again? |
