That meat is looking quite lean for making burgers. How were they?
They were fine, just not the depth of flavour I am looking for. Fat content was about right, juicy but not greasy.Now have a known base to work from I can tweak.
Mince from an unknown origin?

So last year.

What about chopping through some tallow?
I could solve the whole issue in a second by just adding a pile of salt or beef stock base but that would be cheating.
What about just starting with fattier cuts of meat in the first place? I know you disagreed, but those steaks you posted look so much leaner than burger beef I've seen in the past.
I'm going to dig out my old spec sheets and try again.

Not going to win any prizes/praise - but sometimes you just want what you fancy ..... (had no sliced bread so had to make do with Sourdough Pave cut on the diagonal to maximise surface area .... 
Branston beans with mini sausages
Bean sauce and runny egg yolk .... food of the gods (say that on Breakfast forum and likely it'll get you lynched)

Damn good plateful, good eggs, plenty of pepper and beans+sausage tins are an essential in the food cupboard. Just needs a bit of Chef brown sauce.

Main: roasted duck breast with confit duck leg bon-bon, mascerated cherries, cherry sauce and toasted almonds

Not sure how I’ll outdo 48k… or richtea
Given up on trying to out do anyone any more - as long as the people I've cooked for enjoy it then I'll consider that a win.Burger and chips from last night.
Looks good, although I do like a crispy chip, they look a little… flaccid.

Barbie here. Garlic and cheese mushrooms, then mackerel, finally marinated chicken skewers. The guests seemed to like it.
