Microwave burgers etc, and other things you shouldnt like...
Discussion
I had no breakfast this morning, its now brunch time and I'm presently eating a feasters BBQ ribsteak sandwich. A microwave burger, no less.
The back of the packaging advises, for an 800w microwave:
Clearly the food of the upper echelons of society then, people so privileged they aren't used to buying it, let alone knowing how to heat it
Its hot. Tastes tastier than many cold shop bought sandwiches. I like it, enough to buy another.
Down with fastidious selection!
We want micro-garbage!
Don't leave me standing alone here chaps, or I shall be forced to run away!
There are surely a couple of nasties you really shouldn't enjoy, but actually do. What are they:

There are surely a couple of nasties you really shouldn't enjoy, but actually do. What are they: I like Rustler's full stop. I usually separate the burger, microwave the meat for around 10% less than suggested then microwave the bun for around 10 seconds. If theres cheese included, you can toast the bun/cheese. Remove the meat, pat dry with paper towel, assemble and eat. Nom Nom Nom....
My missus thinks I'm nuts, but trust me, it tastes far better than whacking it all in together for 1 minute 30

You can't admit that here on PH.
You know the burger of choice would be made from the finest pure 100% beef cut from an animal looked after in a heated barn with access to an organic grass field. The bun must be made of flour ground from the finest wheat(organic)and cooked in an AGA. Served on bone china with a salad garnish, all organic of course.
I love a rustlers though.

I am in Holland at the moment and their snack bars are the stuff of dreams. Everything is fried, everything is damn tasty, everything with mayo and curry sauce.

You're just trying to make the food pedants on PH jealous Hell yeah.

I like Rustlers, nuked to oblivion!
Particularly at 3am when I'm no longer able to stand up straight and all 'Bab shops are closed.
Haven't tried the new wraps and subs range yet. Any good?
Not tried them... yet! Rustlers are definitely the kings of the microwavable burger world. Whether they should be proud of that or not, I don't know, but they certainly have a following Particularly at 3am when I'm no longer able to stand up straight and all 'Bab shops are closed.

I always toast the bun slightly, cook the burger in the microwave.. Stick the cheese on the boiling hot burger from the microwave, bun together.. Squash. Job done.
Haven't had one in ages though

Cheap, nasty, pre-packaged southern fried chicken steaks from the supermarket. Absolute trash, but bloomin’ marvellous comfort food for a lazy evening. Served with frozen potato products of some sort and a massive dollop of tomato ketchup.I know it’s wrong.

The only thing I do differently is add a bit of lettuce. I normally like my burger buns toasted, but there is something satisfying about a microwaved burger, bread and all, so that the finished product feels like a hot floppy edible dish cloth covered in melted cheese in your mouth.Haven't had one in ages though
As you havent had one in a while, I'll have another for you
Heres my second one, with the bonnet up.
Never have bits of microwaved horse stuck in my teeth tasted so good!

Pot Noodles, but only the Bombay Bad Boy ones. It just hits the spot for that moment of weakness but you'll always feel pretty dirty and guilty afterwards..
Nearly right... Chicken and Mushroom with proper Soy Sauce and fresh chillies. Two of them. With beers. And a packet of salt and vinegar crisps. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvellous
