  • 14 lads from Bootle made a fresh burger bun, then mixed 11 kg of minced beef with onions, garlic, tomato ketchup, eggs and breadcrumbs, moulded it in a pan and baked it in the oven for twenty-five minutes, with no temperature given. Chips were cut from large baking potatoes, part-cooked in warm oil and finished with the heat turned up, and the burger was built with iceberg lettuce, large gherkins, sliced cheese and ketchup.
