Beefburgers WITHOUT black pepper

@aVdub - make sure you ask for the dry cure bacon, they also do a lower cost bacon in vacuum sealed packs.

Being slightly more sirius, it could well be an allergy, and if not done so already, would be a good idea for @Trollslayer to get tested. That mouth irritation could be mild anaphylaxis, subsequent reactions can be worse, as happened with me and sunflower seeds.

Thanks Krish, a useful comment.
It's a combination of a few things including jaw surgery which has left narrowed space for my tongue so brushing my teeth can be awkward.
One other is not always bothering to eat properly plus the supermarkets in a cost war so quality of food is dropping, hence looking for a good organic shop.
Doing things like making my own burgers will help me to control quality plus i am taking time to learn how to cook in small steps and that is going well.

I find it immensely satisfying to prepare and cook my own food. My wife and children often join in. A great social event to do.

I met a company last summer in Armenia. They kept on talking about their kitchens, I asked them what that meant. So basically they refer to each of their office units as their kitchens. The whole of the office is build around the kitchen. As such their developers and engineers often get away from their desks and cook together whilst they discuss their business of the day.  He explained it to me whilst inviting me to join in. I love the concept, makes infinity sense to me.

This is one of the rare occasions when 'cool' is the only word.

Wow, this thread grew quick.

I make my own mince for burgers, fine ground, 50% brisket, 50% chuck, shin or braising steak.
I try for 20%-30% fat content, unlike my steaks, I like my burgers well done, not pink, and find any less fat content they dry out.

Each to their own taste.
