This is it: the world's BEST burger!

Here's my secret recipe for the ultimate hamburger (why is it called HAMburger when it's actually dead COW meat?!) :

Ingredients (in whatever quantity you fancy):


  • Minced beef (really good quality needed here: Angus from Scotland, or Salers, i.e. the breed from the Cantal area of France) with 5% fat only, or some non-meat nutty substitute for vegetarians
  • Two slices of thick REAL bread, lightly toasted
  • Proper ketchup (not cheap stuff full of sugar please)
  • Very thinly sliced tomato (not too much because it makes the bread soggy)
  • Mayonnaise (home-made if possible)
  • Dash of basalmic vinegar
  • Sliced salad fresh from the garden (if you have one)
  • Spring onion (white and green bits), thinly chopped
  • Thinly sliced cucumber
  • Drop of raisin seed oil
  • Dash of Worcestershire sauce
  • Melted cheese (only Saint-Nectaire will do, i.e. one of the best French cheeses!)
  • A splodge of some red pimento condiment...
  • Two leaves of basil


What to do:

Lightly cook the meat, melt the cheese, and toast the bread, then pile on the ingredients in whatever order you fancy... Enjoy!

  1. hello, mr. Neattleship;
    I saw the burger on your blog. Was the picture taken before you eat the burger or it's something you saw somewhere ?
    In fact, is it a double or a triple one?
    and sure, have a nice diner and see you tomorrow.

  2. It's a very colourful meal but I think it could be really awkward to eat. An advice : don't eat that in front of your boyfriend, salad between teeth is not sexy. But it is something I should try at home just for fun! Thanks for the idea ;)

  3. "How big can a burger be! There are FIVE steaks in this hamburger, so the person who is going to eat this hamburger will eat five times more than if (s)he had a normal hamburger... It is not a good thing for his/her health! In this hamburger, there is salad, tomatoes, ham, cheese, bread and the steaks all piled up. It looks like a New York skyscraper, and is probably as digestable!”

  4. Waaaaaouuh!! Who can eat a so big hamburger?? I'm sure that you Mr Nettleship you can't! In fact it's a dish for all the month and people who eat this hamburger must do a very very very very long diet!
