I have always been adamant that a bun free burger is not a burger.
But whilst I'm trying to go Paleo, I have no other choice than to bite the (carb free) bullet and have my burgers free from anything remotely exciting.
Thank God for Abel & Cole. Thank God for their organic beef burgers to be specific.
Because as it turns out, it is not so much about the buns making the burgers, as it is the burgers normally being awful slabs of tasteless minced meat that needs to be hidden between bread, cheese slices and dressings to taste anything other that dead sad cow. And even if the majority of the carnivores of the world does not seem to get it, the happy cows are the tasty cows. Still, people choose to eat their food straight from the meat factory - all that added antibiotics, hormones and taste of torture is just too hard to resist.
Pretentious lecture done.
So, following my Abel and Cole Thursday delivery I made an attempt to make a burger with focus on burger and I was getting quite inventive. Read cabbage where the bun used to be, sautéed chestnut mushrooms and mango pickle.
And it was delicious! Borderline best burger I have ever had. I may never have my burgers with bread again.
OK, so that might be a slight exaggeration. But I could easily see myself substituting Patty and Bun visits with my latest invention.
It's all about them happy cows.
