Das Hindenburger - Pics in replys!
A few months ago, as a Friday night treat, I created these gargantuan meaty monsters more by luck than judgement it has to be said.

I was working on the burger filled with melty cheese model, which as I am sure you will agree is, when done correctly, a veritable symphony of flavour that dances around your mouth singing sweet delicious harmonies of beefy cheesy goodness. I had sampled such delicacies on several occasions at a pub in Liverpool called the Ship and Mitre – if you are ever in the area I highly recommend giving it a go, plus they do loads of real ales if you are that way inclined!

I have dabbled in the meat filled with cheese arena before, cheese filed meatballs and the like but I now felt that I was ready to progress to the next level. On my way home form work I purchased a 1lb (500g) package of lean steak mince, some onion bagels, salad bits, an avocado and the piece de résistance some French goats cheese. I was ready to begin.

The original plan was not to use all of the mince in the package and create two decent sized but not lethal burgers that would set us up for the usual Friday night drinking session, however after I had cut the cheesy centres from the log it appeared that I had over estimated the ratio of meaty burger to cheesy middle and before long I had created two MASSIVE cheese filed cannonballs (pictures to follow this evening!) which I char grilled on the griddle pan (THE best kitchen utensil I have ever purchased, with the possible exception of the mortar and pestle), and served on the bagels along with guacamole, salad, jalapenos and the usual condiment army (yellow mustard, mayo, ketchup and Encona West Indian Chili Sauce, which I have on pretty much everything). Getting a hold of the thing to eat it was enough of a challenge, it must have measured 25 cm in height and the same again across the middle

This is where it is necessary to see the beast which is why I will be posting piccies later today. Needless to say after consuming the meaty mountain all hopes of being able to stay awake let alone consume alcohol* were soon abandoned in favour of lying prostrate on the couch waiting for the heart attack to start!

*Actually after a couple of hours movement was possible and the walk to the local was an enjoyable method of moving the meaty bagelicious cement moving in the right direction.

the ship and mitre
last time i went in there, i had an hour-long "wtf is that smell?" conversation with 2 pissed-up blokes and a barmaid.
nice pub, though.
