Sainsbury's
Garlic and Mushroom Quarter Pounders |
| What
is It ? |
Mushroom
bits, spliced together with stringy stuff (cheese based?), flavoured
with garlic. Coated in bread crumbs |
| Where
to find it |
Freezer
section "Meat Free meals".
|
| Likelyhood
of finding |
No problem
at all. This is one of life's undiscovered joys. Wait till the word gets
out, you'll never find this dish again after 4pm. |
| Complimentaries |
Do not eat
on their own. Garlic and Mushroom Quarter Pounders are totally uninspiring
in their singular unattended state (see Fig 1). Requires a selection from the following...
- Fries
- Mash
- Spaghetti Hoops
- Baked Beans
- Garden Peas
- Petit Pois and Carrotts
- Fried Egg
- Slices of Bread

Totally void of
all culinary excitement. Garlic and Mushroom burgers are a tasty
meal once the 'complimentaries' have been decided upon |
|
| Wine |
Good heavens
yes. You'll something to break all that food down.

| Preparation
Notes |
Complicated.
This is almost proper cooking and our Bemuddlement Chefs only recommend
this for the most experienced of "Sad-meal-for-one"
practitioners.
Ideal for when you are sick and tired of Indian,
Chinese, Italian food and want a bit of a challenge. Mentally prepare
yourself for the most intense 20 minutes in the kitchen you are ever
likely to experience. The sheer number of decisions to be made is
staggering
- Burgers....Bake...Grill...or Fry???
- Fries/Mash/New Potatoes???
- Baked Beans/Spag Hoops/Garden peas
- Eggs. Scrambled, whisked or "Sunny Side
Up"
For the purposes of this recipe our Bemuddlement
Chefs went for the Grilled/Fries/Spag Hoops/Sunny Side Up Combo.

Our
Bemuddlement Chef has chosen his options. Be careful not to cook
all three packets of microwave Fries. Tempting as it is. The egg
is Free Range. Only Heinz Spag Hoops will do, our Chef spares no
expense. |

| Serving
Suggestion |
Always
microwave the selected Fries. Do not overcook...they catch fire. Slight
charring was reported during the creation of this gastronomic masterpiece.

Bemuddlement Chef rejects the lure of "You're on Sky
Sports" and demonstrates the correct method of cooking
microwave ready Fries. |

Viewing/Listening |
This dish is
so complicated to prepare that bemuddlement recommends radio distraction
whilst in the kitchen. James Whale's Talksport phone-in (1089AM), or on an
evening of mid-week Premiership Football "Late Night 6-0-6" with
Richard Littlejohn.
With the meal Bemuddlement recommends Björk's
collection of video singles "Volumen" or for those with more
stamina "American Beauty". Annette Benning never looks even
better, once outside two lovely Garlic and Mushroom Burgers.

Once again
cooking perfection is attained with this beautifully prepared
meal, a credit to all who have ever attempted this, the trickiest
of dishes. Note the artistically arranged 'Spag Hoop',
deliberately placed at 3:40pm on the Garlic Burger. |
