Daily reminder fast food is poison. Prove me wrong.

Pro tip: You can't

use brioche bun, no knot if possible
mix your own beef if possible to get right flavour, tenderness, fat % etc.
if not just good beef mince is fine (not too lean)
lamb is also good, fish is too and pork/beef is good

form patty gently (don't squish and overwork) to a size greater than the bun and no thicker than half of the depth of one side of the bun, or whatever you want

make sure to leave a shallow impression on the center of the patty, right to the edge to stop it turning out round while cooking chill in fridge while you prepare everything else

par cook bacon now and butter or oil bun ready for toasting, put potato fries on
salt and pepper one side then flip onto medium-high grill or pan, season other side
leave until you can see the sides starting to cook, about 2 minutes
flip
then add cheese if you want-nothing too strong or sharp but something that melts well, also put onions or mushrooms in now to cook slightly

putting a lid or metal bowl over the burger helps cheese melt

serve on toasted bun with whatever sauce you like the meat should rest enough while you make burger and finish beer you started before cooking
mayo, aioli, mustard, ketchup BBQ sauce, chilli, whatever you enjoy but mustard, mayo and ketchup are classic
tomato, lettuce, cucumber, roasted capsicum are sometimes good but lettuce and tomato, maybe onions and pickles are classic

drink a coke or a milkshake or a beer with it
turn over once half eaten to make it easier to finish

I'm going to make a green split pea and ham soup.
I have about a kilo of peas soaking now so I can cook tomorrow.

I'm planning on using lots of onion and garlic and some fennel seeds, also some chicken stock.

My question is, how should I deal with the smoked hock and which flavourings/spices would do well, and does cream have a place in finishing the soup?

Also what's good on a bagel- I just had one toasted with hot supressa, havarti and cucumber but it felt wrong.

this is true. I have an inner psychopath that wants to slaughter everyone and cannibalize. I keep him at bay with the savory thought of what a human heart tastes like stuffed with a sage-filled thanksgiving stuffing, brushed with melted butter and wrapped in twine, cooked on low on a clay dish in an oven for 12 hours.
