I thought that I had tasted what could be the best chocolate chip cookie in the city...at Chocolate Haven, at City Bakery, Levain, etc., but last night, I was floored by a dessert that topped any of those experiences. Next time you're on Houston street, head over to Houston and Thompson. Jane serves the best damn milk and cookies dessert that I have ever had. period. Robyn, this means YOU!
I love beets on sandwiches! Tuna salad with pickled beets is one of my favorites.
Definately tinned beetroot on a burger. Messy and delicious. Hold the egg for this Aussie though please. And avocado and mayonnaise? I don't think so. Where's the sliced tomato & lettuce? Where's the tomato sauce?
Yeah gmerall, I want to know what happened to Vegemite in the US. I have not seen if for at least a year. I stopped buying sliced bread, because what's the point?
I realize avocado is not used on the "genuine article" but I need to say that the use of mayo anywhere in proximity to avocado is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Otherwise, this looks pretty interesting. I love beets.
Yes, tinned beetroot it is, and the same here in New Zealand. When we put pineapple on it, however, it's called a Hawaiian Burger, and it'll often have a bit of ham in it as well. Those beets you have look kind of pale too - our tinned ones are dark dark red, and stain everything you drop them on.
Oh dear lord. No no no! Aussies *do not* substitute. Goodness me next you'll be telling us to eat a vegetarian meat pie!
Right then. Your beetroot must be sliced canned beetroot preferably from Golden Circle. It'll be something like this. For some reason my usual US based Aussie products site doesn't have them in stock.
I think bacon is optional but it should be a good sized piece of middle bacon. Not those weeny strips like leather. The egg is a must and then just lettuce and tomato. BBQ sauce like this
if you want the Kiwi experience use Watties Tomato Sauce and add a pineapple ring.
I'm a Kiwi but live is Aus. If I'm sending stuff to my mates I use Simply Australian to order my stuff.
And editors if you're reading this please please please do a piece on Vegemite and Tim Tams - but not at the same time! Now lets talk Tim Tam Slams shall we? :)
Ah, beetroot on a burger. Fantastic, but like TFP points out, they can be quite messy. (In Australia, it's typically pickled beetroot from a tin, but the roasted beetroot does sound interesting.)
