The only quality burger I've found in the UK recently is the one you
make yourself.
I suspect I'm just really, really bored with burgers though. Even BK
stuff seems dry and tasteless, presumably because the current food rules
in the UK mean one simply cannot get a rare burger, try as one might.
They *have* to be cooked to destruction, in case some pikey mum's
hellspawn suffers brain damage as a result ... although how they'd
measure this is never stated :)
There used to be a pub in Sarratt called The Cricketers which, before it
was bought out and taken over, used to be a haven for bikers, on
Wednesday evenings ... the cook there, a lovely scots chap, used to cook
the bestest burgers; when I asked him what they were, he confided that
they were merely Brake Bros "gourmet" (or whatever their best range was
called) 1/2 pounders, but barbecued from frozen, so that one got a char-
grilled outside, but a *slightly* pink and moist inside, if one cared to
ask for it "rare". His home-made chilli sauce was also a belter, and
reduced even macho biker types to tears in seconds flat. I used to
apply a teaspoon of his sauce, and mix it with a tablespoon of the
normal burger relish, in order to get a gorgeously spicy kick, without
requiring the local A&E unit :)
It should also be noted that I never *once* got food poisoning, or even
a dodgy tum, from said place.
