Veggie burger? beef? pork? turkey? I just use ground beef and add a little salt and pepper then its on the grill. Do you do anything special to your burger patty? or if you don't make'em then what is the weirdest ingredient you found in your burger.

Where can I get that tuna liver spread? I don't think we have that here, but i'll check. I'm also not sure of the availability of banana blossom. Are there substitutes of these ingredients that won't spoil your recipe. Thank you.

I am the lazy type. I don't make my own burger. When I want burger I just need to go to McDonald and order what I like. It is so fast and so easy. Why bother making your own.

Personally, I like to keep it simple. I usually use ground beef that's usually an 85/15 split as far as quality goes(meat really needs a little fat on it for flavor). I soak the beef in worcestershire sauce before making the patties. Finally, I toss them on the grill and add a little pepper to them as they cook. A simple recipe but tastes great!

It depends. Sometimes I add onion soup mix, sometimes I add egg and breadcrumbs, sometimes I add the McCormick Hamburger spices, Sometimes I add steak sauce...
