Making burgers
Whilst the country is gripped by the horsemeat in food scandal, back at our house, we do not suffer from that problem. We rarely buy ready made meals or industrial preprocessed food. Burgers were the first food to be found to contain horsemeat. I have to confess we eat very few burgers but last night we decided it was time to use some of our Tamworth sausage meat to make some.
I added some breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, apple and cayenne pepper to the sausage meat.
The above was the result. Grilled and then into a bun with a dollop of pumpkin chutney on top. We’ll be making more at some point in the (hopefully) not too distant future.
Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.

May I suggest you use a more hard hitting headline to attract the attention of people here.
Maybe “Alien makes burgers” you are from London, so you are alien to Newcastle.
Hope the life style you have chosen works out, much more satisfying than just being a take it for granted type consumer. All the best with it. Norry.
