These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- The aim was presentation, quality and structural integrity rather than size, funded by £5 found in a coat. The patty was 1kg of premium Scotch beef mince, 65g of blue Stilton, 1 free-range egg and 1 slice of wholemeal bread crumbed; the rest was 2 Greggs stottie cakes, a 12-rasher pack of smoked streaky bacon, 3 potato waffles, 4 slices of Red Leicester, 9 breaded onion rings, iceberg lettuce, 1 salad tomato, red onion slices, 2 gherkins and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, plus 4 chocolate eclairs for a dessert nobody needed. The patty was mixed, flattened and fried with Stilton pockets pushed in; the bacon was woven into a lattice and cooked; waffles went over onion and lettuce stuck to the toasted stottie with mayonnaise, the burger and cheese were grilled on top, then tomatoes and the bacon lattice, onion rings, and gherkins glued to the stottie with ketchup. The makers’ approximate table gives 4763.4 kcal, or about 6500 with the stottie, 190.5% of a man’s daily allowance, with 360.73g of fat at 400.8%, 163.43g of saturated fat at 544.8% and 20.05g of salt at 317.5%.

The original account
Burgers have been pimped in the past and will be in the future. Our motivation for this project was not size of calorific content, but presentation, quality and structural integrity. Price was no object as I had recently found £5 in my coat that I didn’t realise was there. Any way, for this delectation we used:
For the meat bit a.k.a. patty,
1kg Premium Scotch Beef Mince
65g Blue Stilton
1 Free-range Organic Egg
1 Slice wholemeal bread (crumbed)
2 Greggs’ Stottie Cakes (a big, flat bread bun for non-northerners)
1 pack (12 rashers) Smoked Streaky Bacon
3 Potato Waffles
4 Slices Red Leicester
9 Breaded Onion Rings
Iceberg Lettuce
1 Salad Tomato
Red Onions Slices
2 Gherkins
1 Tbl.Sp. Mayonnaise
4 Chocolate Eclairs for Dessert…..we thought we might still be hungry. We weren’t.
First we made the patty; mixing all the ingredients together in a soon-to-be fat covered bowl…..
…. flattened & cooked the patty in a frying pan, inserting yummy Stilton pockets….
Secondly, the bacon was woven into an awesome lattice by master bacon weavers with skills second to none….and cooked – obviously.
Thirdidly…? We started burger construction, carefully positioning waffles over onion & lettuce which was in turn adhered to the toasted stottie utilizing mayonnaise as glue.
Fourthith…Nextly, we did place the burger and cheese on top and grilled forthwith……
Penultimately, the tomatoes and bacon lattice got in the mix, followed by smug self-congratulation on the structural soundness of the snack.
Finally we added onion rings and adhered the gherkins onto the stottie with ketchup….
….even more finally, we put it all together and did enjoy.
The ‘enjoyment’.
