DH picked up a burger for himself after an appointment. I made a salami sandwich and had pickles.

Summer Solstice is tomorrow.

I noticed last night that there is also a full moon at almost the same time.

I made an Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger for lunch. I'm debating with myself whether to sous vide and sear a nice, thick pork T-bone tonight, or graze on something a bit lighter.

We had smoked turkey sandwiches and my ranch potato salad.

I guess you don't do the low carb, lettuce wrap version of that burger.

Considering how hot it is today and how high the humidex is, I would have probably made a salad for supper. I might have made some sandwiches, or just grazed. But, I had 500 grams of ground pork in the fridge with a best before date of tomorrow, 2021-06-20. So, I figured that I needed to do something with that. I divided it in half and mixed up some frikadelle forcemeat (ground meat with seasonings) that I put in the fridge to hydrate until tomorrow. I used the other half to make "Italienske karbonader". That's Danish for some Italian flavours inspired pork patties, sort of like pork burgers. I also made some potato salad following another Danish recipe. I had made that potato salad before, but I forgot just how much I like it. I also had a piece of rugbrød (heavy, Danish style rye bread) with butter.

I'm glad you didn't say "the vegan meat substitute version," or we could no longer be friends.

Well now that you've said there's a story - you'd better spill it. Add it onto the recipe's post!

You shared the same recipe this past January. I know, because I have already saved it to CMT. I'll get to it. It sounds good.

Any ideas for pork mince?

Chinese lobster sauce is made with pork mince? :unsure: I complained to a waiter the oyster sauce contained no oysters, he said "well theres no steak in your steak sauce"

I knew I posted it at another forum, but did not recall ever posting it here. I guess I should have done a search before posting.

It's OK, better twice than not at all. Especially for a good recipe!

My late husband had family in Australia. He explained what you get when you get what we call an all dressed hamburger here in Canada. Oh, that is not the same thing as all dressed here. Please explain what all goes on Australian "Burgers with the Lot". I can't remember what all he told me. He had been quite surprised at what he got.

 

[Jade Emperor]

Sure.
I make mine with lean beef mince patties
Bacon
Lettuce
Cheese
Fried egg
Fried onions
Mustard
Tomato salsa

Options include beetroot slices or pineapple

The only Australian burger topping I've never quite been able to grasp is beets/beetroot.

@caseydog haha - it’s why I put it under “optional”. It’s very much a personal preference thing. Some love it, others not so much.
