A really, really good burger spread will
turn a good burger into a great burger.
One that’s creamy, but not rich,
while maintaining a lightly sweet and tangy-tartness all at the same time.
Building a burger is truly about
personal preference. It’s all up to you as to what you choose to stuff
between the buns. The combinations are endless.
There are so many parts that make up
a delectable burger. You need to start with a quality patty cooked to
perfection, placed on a lightly toasted pub roll that's patiently waiting for
the addition of melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, sweet or grilled onions,
mushrooms and or pickles. The list goes on and on.
The magic is in the spread!
Some call it a secret sauce and others, special sauce. It really doesn’t
matter what you call it, as long as you know how to make it. Because,
it’s the sauce that determines whether your hamburger is good or GREAT!
For example; if
spreadable condiments are placed on the burger one squirt at a time, the end
result is boring with sharp bites of mayo, ketchup and mustard that hit your
palate one at a time, never truly blending together until the last few bites.
However… if those
same condiments are mixed together in the form of a spread, something wonderful
happens in your mouth.
I complete my burger experience with
a separate gentle squirt of ketchup that adds a sweet tomato-y background which
brings just the right amount of zing to the burger. You can add the
ketchup directly to the burger spread instead of separately. But I am a
fan of ketchup and like to have it present when biting into my burger.
Once you try this burger
spread. You will never spread your bun with anything else.
