First ever burger!!!

So tonights home cooked meal ... beefburgers in a bun.

It was a real achievement in more ways than one.  My youngest son was born with TOF/OA and has never eaten a burger in his life. I could never take him for a Macdonalds or even feel safe with packs of frozen burgers from the supermarket.  These 'meats' are too chewy and who knows what's in them anyhow?!

So tonight I made home made burgers and they came out a treat. I was so pleased with them. The meat was soft and tender to eat. So Joe tried one. He ate very carefully, small bites well chewed, but gradually gained confidence with how much to eat of it at a time. So then I gave him a nice soft roll and put the burger in it and at the grand age of 10 1/2 years old, he has had his first ever 'burger in a bun'. 
I can't explain how amazing it was to watch and see him enjoy eating that!

On the point of the burgers themselves, I think I would add a bit more of the herbs etc next time, to improve the flavour even more, but on the whole I think tonight was a real success!!!!!

  4. Thanks Toni!
    They were alot easier to make than I expected. I'm looking forward to trying them again next week, but putting more herbs and things in this time as they could have done with just a touch more flavour.
