because you're buying from coles you fucking moron

buy mince from the butcher and make your own patties

>>20165640
Normally i hate premade patties but these ones were actually fucking great, had them the other night

too many fillers

I made burgers many years ago from a recipe I found perhaps from James Kenji Alt
My mother didn't believe me and told me I needed an egg to hold them together and she was shocked when they came out good
By happenchance she went to a grocery store a week after and got into a conversation with some random woman who was shocked to hear that you didn't need eggs to hold a burger patty together
They all apparently thought it couldn't be done with store bought mince beef

>>20165640
Aussie pork taste like garbage too

i made the mistake of buying aussie pork when the local supermarket had a promotion on it

100% australian pork!
the taste is gamey and gross. I went to find out why and it is because due to animal rights laws, male pigs are not castrated in Australia. So the pork has this foul gamey taste

>>20165640
Because you bought it at coles you dumb fuck, ALDICHAD here woolieswusses and colescucks should KYS.

>>20165706
Same deal go to a butcher that gets local, local farmers don't do all that bullshit.

t. goat farmer.

>>20165729
I wish I were a goat farmer

>>20165706
pock from the butcher is always amazing, and pock mince from the supermarkets is always orrible.

beef is hit or miss, aussie beef are grass fed and just not fattened up the way US cawn fed beef is. Aussie beef can easily be as delicious as US beef, but on average it usually isn't. I just buy the fatty mince and salt it thoroughly before even forming it into patties

>>20165724
fuck off, faggot. kys if you buy any of your meat from a chain supermarket. local butchers are cheaper and higher quality, with a better selection.

>>20165646
>buy mince from the butcher and make your own patties

I have things to do

The McDolans beef patties are 100% beef and nothing else, why the heck can't I find that in the supermarket.

The stuff I see and have tried always has a weird taste. Chemical. And it actually makes me sick. Maybe 1 or 2 patties are okay but I can't have more than that like I can with other carn meals

>>20165736
>aussie beef are grass fed

Wondering where you've been shopping. If you want grass fed in this country you have to look for it specifically. Most steak or mince is/are not grass fed.

>>20165736
sneaky tunnel dweller trying to convince his "fellow Aussies" that grass fed is bad and grains are oh so tasty

I sure could go for this Small Cheeseburger Meal & Extra Cheeseburger deal right now from McDonalds (tm)

But their app is broken and buggy as hell and has been for months

I feel like they're doing it on purpose

>>20165740
>I have things to do
like buying shit beef then whingeing about it on 4chan?

>>20165763
I like how they have this ZERO SUGAR (and thus healthy) drink next to what is basically the king of carb food choices and the worst food ever according to Dr Berg (I largely agree really - all the carbs and seed oils)

>>20165762
grass isn't bad by any means but grass fed cows are healthier and unhealthy cows taste better

>>20165743
this is what I heard anon idunno

>>20165764
Its pretty annoying I can't get pure beef patties in my local supermarket. Though now that I think of it maybe I haven't checked the freezer

>>20165780
they're really trying to push no-sugar drinks for some reason. you can't even get regular sprite anymore, only the no-sugar version.

>>20165646
Does anyone still go to the butchers? I just get my meat for the grocery store.

>>20165740
>saying maccas patties are better and store bought ones are too chemical
we got a special person here boys

>>20165706
if you aren't autistic you can ask for beef from a sow instead

If you're shopping for pork, use a local Vietnamese butcher. They have a cultural thing about not using male pigs

t. luxury meats butcher

>>20165964
>buying raw butchered meat from any asian establishment
jesus christ you must be shrooming

>>20165964
pork from a sow****
>>20165966
you need to know the location I guess, Sydney has a lot of more-or-less heritage butcheries

>>20165640
Because they are pre-made patties.
Stop buying that garbage and buy a roll and pat them out yourself.

>>20165740
>mcdonalds patties are 100% beef
lmao, you believe that?

>>20165988
anon, mcdonald's so is scrutinized and has so many enemies, and at least half of their their nearly 2 MILLION employees and countless suppliers are likely whistleblowers, that they could never get away with a grift like that. their entire trillion+ dollar empire rests on their burgers being burgers, they wouldn't even try to fuck around.

>>20165991
100% beef (hooves, organs, skin)

>>20165993
oh whatever

you're lucky someone is managing your food security for you, you fat ungrateful bitch.

>>20165698
There's a certain age group that always did it that way and never questioned it, I was taught the same thing too. I'm not sure why but it's so common I wonder if the beef had some different property in the past and it really didn't work.

>>20165640
All premade patties taste like shit and are way too small no matter what country they're purchased in. Just buy ground beef and make your own patties, it takes like five minutes and always tastes way better

>>20165855
my supermarket has a butcher

>>20166065
I thought the correct spelling was "paddies"

>>20165640
>why is the prison food in our prison colony so bad??
get EMU'd, cunt

>>20166072
"paddies" is a word for irish people or rice fields.

>>20166072
>educashion

>>20166081

>>20165855
Patties from the store but mince from the butcher

>>20166081
*Paddies
Rice fields
*Paddys
Irish ‘people’
You need to work in your ethnic slurs a bit more.

>>20165960
Macca's beef patties are 100% beef

In the USA costco especially and sams has the best beef and butchers. I can order any cut I want. They package and give to me. Want a certain percentage ground beef? Sure! I'll make a chub of it for you. Want me to chop up that ribeye into ground or "mince"? Right away? Want bison? Sure. Want a-5 imported Japanese wagyu cuts? We got it! All for great prices.

Who else here based and bubbapilled

Australians have cheap kangaroo meat though.
It's delicious.

>>20166663
Funny that, I actually ate some 'roo meat yesterday. It's alright. I'm not sure I'd buy it at a premium but if it got cheap it'd be pretty decent.

>>20166656
My dad use to buy these bulk before he died. I had to almost fill up my seven Sq ft preteen chest freezer to hold them all.

They were pretty good if I remember but not really worth the money since I like making my own and seasoning the patties before freezing.

>>20166656
I read Angus at Anus there for a seccond

>>20166674
Lol my dad always buys then as well. Yeah they're kind of shit with no seasoning but they work nice in a pinch for parties and such. That being said I never buy them unless they're on sale, $16 for a 6 pack is outrageous

>>20166682
I don't see the point if they aren't seasoned. What are you paying extra for? I can freeze 80/20 when it goes on sale and season myself.

>>20166694
You're paying for the experience, the adventure. It's not just a hamburger, it's a lifestyle

>>20165646
>mince
Why do Brits and British-adjacent people refer to ground beef as "mince" as if beef is the only meat that can be ground/minced? Do you not have any understanding of how vague your terminology actually is?

>>20166723
>howdy y'all, ah shure is gladder than a knee-grow who dun snucked into massa's breakin' barn that the nearest ShartMart is only 17/64ths offa good ol' dog-fearin' McBurgerfield away

Tickled pink at the thought of some Australian drunkard saying this out loud to himself before typing it

>>20166781
Concession accepted.

>>20166723
we're not so retarded as you I guess and can instinctively use context clues
would that advice even change with differing contexts? probably not
pointless and stupid /int/nigger post tbqh

>>20167152
how do you keep beef and beef-pork mix mince apart with context clues?

>>20165640
Made from Koala

>>20167170

>>20165640
>>20165660

>>20167185
Both of those use the specific terms "beef burger" and "beef and brisket burger" and not the word "mince" at all anywhere.

>>20167196
exactly

>>20166060
Probably the beef was too lean back then. Ranchers didn't happen on the corn thing until recently to fatten beef up, so olden cows probably were all grass-fed and moved around a lot. That meant leaner meat, and no fat in the mince means no glue to hold it all together. Hence the egg as a binder agent.

Modern American mince has fat ratios quoted on it, so 80/20 isn't going to need help at all. 93/7 and above might, and 100 lean definitely does need help.

>>20166656
I cannot trust any meat trapped in a box away from view. It just feels like I am being scammed.

>>20165640
>beef burgers
there is no other kind of burger.

>>20166656
I associate boxed burgers with the frozen pink slime patties that get used for corpo burger burns. While there might be something decent in these things, I just can't trust em. I've experienced too many flavorless hockey pucks.

Grind your own meat. I thought it was a meme at first, but it really is better. It actually has the flavors of what you grind.

>>20167170
>beef mince
>beef and pork mince
>chicken mince
It's not hard.

>>20165740
All matter is chemical dipshit

>>20168284
I'll never understand how this is so difficult. Lots of things can be minced. Maybe in context you can just say "mince" in conversation because everyone will already know you're referring to beef or pork or fruit or whatever. But nobody defines "mince" as one or the other.

>>20165993
>organs, skin
Which is good for you. Hooves? Idk...

>>20165997
McDonalds "beef" contains traces of human meat among other things

>>20169024
what a compelling citation

>>20167303
Considering the amount of breeds that were bred just for fat production pre-20th. I find that unlikely.
