 steak burgers with carmalised onions smeared with a touch of horseraddish sauce is beats anything that the Macdonalds serve up and from a show ground trailer near you. £3.50 for a Aberdeen Angus steak burger in a bun and well worth it. Was at the Highland games Inverness today,which was also Armed Forces Day,with all 3 services present for various attractions,so if you see a trailer serving Aberdeen Angus steak burgers they are yummy,you will never ever want to have a burger king or Macdonalds again.

Why a steak burger and not a steak?

Why a steak burger and not a steak? The official gormlessly British term for what the rest of the world calls a hamburger is beefburger. But that doesn't sound American enough for those that want to sound American, so they invented the word steakburger. (I'd say the same people think "hamburger" sounds too German, only I doubt they know where Hamburg is.) That's my theory, which may be combined with my other theory about the word "beefburger" implying that you're eating a product assembled from various kinds of mystery meat. Me? I prefer mystery fish, as in your average 21st-century fish-finger. |

STEAK burgers are a bit seductive in the name.. conjures up images of a big fat juicy steak, and when you get it, as Weyland points out correctly, tis actually a beefburger. Of course some beefburgers are better than other beefburgers, some beefburgers are better than other beefburgers mothers.. BUT theres no disguising the fact, a beefburger aint a steak. no no way no how. I was really excited when i first visited the Turret grill in Hastings, so seduced was i like a Bisto kid on crack, by the delicious aroma of the cooking and the promise of a STEAK burger.. i think it was about in the region of 3 qwuids 50, and it was alright, but what i realise now, is that what i really wanted was a steak. ho hum.

fish fingers are the most amazing invention of the 20th century. well them and soap. It turns out that soap was invented in Nineveh one Baalday afternoon, 32nd of Gilgamesh, 2525 BC. Fish-fingers, on the other hand, were brought here by aliens from the planet Grimsby. |

USA immigrants from Hamburg, which is a place in Germany, which is a country in Europe, which is somewhere across the sea, brought with them their custom of carrying minced beef sandwiches for lunch. These sandwiches became known, for some obscure reason as Hamburger (person from Hamburg) sandwiches.
It should be noted that a sandwich is not a crone in a pointed hat who casts spells on the beach but a snack invented by the Earl of Sandwich who first put meat between slices of bread to eat later during his lunch break. Lunch is..........Oh never mind!

You must first understand that hamburger has nothing to do with ham. As cardigan has nothing to do with cards.

you know that French flag with the red and blue stripes that have velcro on them, so they can be removed to create a surrender flag.

Aberdeen Angus beef is the world's best.
My dad, an Englishman, a southerner and someone who didn't know one end of an oven from another, always told me, as one who knew, that Scottish beef was the best and he could tell instinctively when he was eating the REAL THING.
My dad was always right.

Kobi beef is surprisingly good. The best I have ever tasted is from 'Marcel across the road', our butcher.
Roasting joint or steak, always tender and delicious. I do not know the nationality of the cows.

ah!but is that imported travelled half way across the world to get here,from Japan beef,or is it locally bred,prepared,slaughtered and butchered beef.The best beef is locally sourced and hung for over 28 days plus where the red meat is very dark red,the fat has yellowed and when cooked is very tender.

I ate Kobi beef in a Tokyo restaurant. I have never seen it in Europe. Our beef is raised in the foothills of the pyrenees, a few kilometres away.
