So it's Friday night, the bbq is on and it's burgers for dinner/tea.

What are you having on it, and in what order? Does the order matter?

Any sauce?

Cheese, tomato, fresh red onion, lettuce, mayo and some South Carolina style mustard on a toasted brioche for me tonight.

No no no. Start again.

Sliders are what you want. Mini burgers and with home baked bread. We’ve made some amazing ones.

I'm afraid you're ALL wrong.

Steak burger, bacon, red onion, cheese, tomato, lettuce, relish.

No bloody avocado, mayo or gooey sauce (unless it's JD's BBQ sauce).

I'm assuming veggie burgers are ok too - wholemeal bap, onions, sliced tomatoes, lettuce in that order. Followed by the patty (The Vegetarian Butcher - brand), cheese, ketchup and maybe mayo. Topped off with the top half of the bap.

I've just cum. Twice

I dont like to over complicate, the secret to a good burger is quality & simplicity.

*Medium brioche bun lightly goasted

*hugh grierson organic Aberdeen angus beef steak -hand ground with salt pepper & a touch of garlic & crushed onion and blue cheese( only a light crumble)

*swiss cheese & pickle & relish to top

It's more a practical decision. Stacking those ingredients in that order makes for a more stable structure

I'm sorry hunny. I have a lot of veggie friends, so I do understand. And in my own way I try by not eating meat every day. And free range when I do.

We all eat too meat nowadays x

Just have a hotdog instead!

Onions that have been softening for ages in the bun first, ketchup, and a drizzle of chilli sauce (if you like it hot), with a proper big sausage instead of a Frankfurter on top to hold all the 'toppings' in place.

Nom!

I'm yet to be convinced about blue cheese, but the rest sounds delicious.

This is a girly debated topic. Notice pickle is barely mentioned.

What about making the actual burger? What do people put in with the mince? Worcestershire sauce? Crackers broken up?

A nice soft bun, not a huge thick one, like a Warbies one. 5%fat beef burger, flattened before cooking. Cooked medium so a bit of pink in the middle. A slice of that cheap plastic cheese. Shredded lettuce, diced onion, burger sauce and plenty of gherkins. Basically a homemade big mac

At the risk of sounding controversial I had a burger a couple of weeks ago with peanut butter and banana on it.
