I LOVE BURGERSits one of the things I envy Americans for. I remember when traveling the south of the US you could always get a burger named after the local football team, yummy... We have only McD and Burger King. Sure there are some excellent burger places, but they are quite pricey. So I got a burger press:(Image removed from quote.)I can only recommend that. Making burgers is really easy.Basic recipe:lightly salt some minced meat* and form patties.Thats it!*any kind, and with any kind I mean: pork, beef, lamb but also prawns or fish and technically not "meat" you can even make delicious burgers from beans.I like to add an egg or two and some breadcrumbs. But you can add almost anything:- olives- dried tomatoes- chopped onions- garlic- chillies- minced chorizo- all kinds of spices- ...Making the relish is equally as easy, you can make it all on your own (e.g. make a paste of onions and tomatoes) or spice up some ketchup with fresh herbs.And don't stop there, you can play with the cheese (try to add blue cheese) and the bread (whole meat, or a ciabatta or lightly toast the bread and then rub it with garlic).
Having said that, have you ever had what you regard to be the perfect burger?

Well this thread helped me decide on lunch today. Went with a 1/3lb bacon cheeseburger from a local place. So good! The 1/2lb would be insane of course, hence the little one.....
It seems you're not the only enabler here

I think I can live with this sort of enabling. Unless of course I keel over from a heart attack halfway through the burger....
