I come originally from the town which was the first in The UK to have a McShit close through lack of business.

I did once have one of their burgers, and to be honest, it wasn't a happy meal for me.

I'm making burgers for Mrs Musket tonight coincidentally. I had the butcher mince some fillet steak. I will add a small amount of finely chopped onion, a little salt and an egg to bind it, press it into burger shaped patties and on a very hot skillet, fifteen seconds each side to sear the outside, leaving a nice rare inside. Rest it in the aga bottom oven for five minutes and serve with a Stilton sauce, salad and a few home cooked chips.

The cost? About the same as McShit for the two of us.
