Remember, I'm posting a new thread for the judging.  You can go Leroy Jenkins and post here, then post there, but only votes cast on the judging thread will be used to select the best burger and sucker that hosts the next throw-down.

That looks great. Did you use crispy chorizo rounds on yours?  No - that was me. Looking forward to the posting threat. This was a fun throwdown!

Beef and black pudding burgers. Think in US you may call black pudding 'blood sausage'. 900g beef. 300g black pudding. Red onion finely diced. Seasoned. That's it. 

First time at these - turned out great. 

Photos of the raw patties above too - just stuck em on the cast iron griddle. 

The bladk pudding, being so rich, keeps the burger really juicy.

Is it true buffalo mozz?  I can get it here in utard, but have to drive 45 minutes south to SLC to get it; if Kroger is now carrying I can get it closer.  Thanks!

Before the picture loaded and I could read the text I thought you were talking about a single 1.2 kg burger. Imagine my disappointment ...

Thou shall count to three.  No more.  No less.  Three shall be the number thou shall count.  And the number of the counting shall be three.  Four shall thou not count; neither shall thou count two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Five is right out!
