This is an old picture, I’m working up hunger to cook burgers today but the problem is the hungrier you get the less energy you’ll have.

I got some beef and horse that I’m gonna mix, add a little beef fat to make a nice 75/25 mix i think or 80/20.

I want to eat to have energy to cook what a paradox

    That’s why you need to have some small snacks handy, to give you the energy to cook!

      I have some nuts and crisps, but crisps are mostly fat and sugar, me needs protein.

      Making burgers doesn’t even take that long. Honestly the most work is in cleaning my kitchen to have room to cook

      Guess I’ll try some nuts and imagine the burger I’m gonna eat

      (got way nicer buns this time these were some generic from lidl now I’ve nice potato buns)

          It was. The buns were pretty bad tho. Now I’ve got better ones. Last time I didn’t add fat, it was just a mix of beef and reindeer.

          That’s how it looked inside.

          Now I cut up some beef fat, I don’t have a meat grinder, and I’ve never tried this before. Will it blend?

              It was semi thawed. It blended a little, but the bits of gristle go round the blender. Not great. I think I can make this work with some effort but much easier I think to just buy a meatgrinder. Been meaning to anyway,

              I’m gonna let it sit in the freezer for like 30 min and then try making it a hit smaller, perhaps dice by hand even. Then start mixing the patties. Ugh got to clean the pan as well pfff

              Edit deleted a joke in bad taste

                Turned out decent-ish. The fat bits are a tad too large but kneading all of them smaller took ages so this is what I was satisfied with.
