[@MarionOliver-l1x]

Hi Gareth..found your channel by chance while idling though KZbin about 2 weeks ago ..and I’ve binge watched you since..your a breath of fresh air,funny ,informative on ingredients an deadly honest on quality,price,value for money and of course taste..your face tells it all! I now tune in daily to see what you’re reviewing..and I’m making a list of the good stuff..Keep it up cos you make me smile ..best of health..Marion - South Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Cheers Marion, glad you like it. All the best to you 😁

[@user-oy2ig2jf5u]

@user-oc7tx4ho1g very true. I smile too, makes my day. By the way, My brother lives in Wales. I live in Sydney Australia, and I was born in Cambridge, and my parents are Spanish.

[@domjl17]

I went to a school with different school holidays to the rest of the country. Because of this I was often left at home, alone, all day and these kind of burgers were left for me for lunch (don't know if that might be cause for calling Childline nowadays). As such, I have a nostalgia for the weird meat and sweaty bun. I haven't had one in maybe 10+ years now but whenever I see someone reviewing them on KZbin I get an urge to relive my childhood. Fortunately, I always come to my senses by the time I'm actually in the supermarket.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Where did you go to school? All the best pal

[@Alexander_l322]

I had rustlers burgers well I still do from time to time, I toast the bun lightly and do the patty in the microwave which make it way better. They now tell you to do that on the packet.

[@davy2266]

i loved them as a kid ,but my mum wouldn,t let me eat them unless i ate fresh vegetables with them@@darrengordon-hill

[@anthonyraistrick4728]

Had one of these yesterday mate. I put a little pepper on and some franks hot sauce. It was absolutely banging! I find a trick to these is give them 30 seconds less than it says. Put a little water on the bread too before.

[@andrewbaxter9395]

The perfect post pub / nightshift scran.

[@rikmoran3963]

I enjoyed your annoyance that it actually tasted nice. 😂 I quite like these sorts of things (Rustlers etc.) now and again. I find that if you toast the buns, chuck in some lettuce, tomato, onion and mayonnaise, which I usually have available, you can end up with something really quite tasty. I think that and some chips would go down quite nicely!

[@montyloads]

Red onion, a few mushrooms, slice of bacon....spread some English mustard on rolls, squirt of ketchup and mayo ❤ Not an every day or even weekly thing but when I do have a rustlers burger I do like it 😊

[@montyloads]

@@MonkeyHunch1 I probably eat one of these once every 3-4 months.... dont be so quick to judge people. The lack of nutritional value is pretty obvious to everyone

[@carlbenfield2971]

I admire the honesty in all these videos. It would be easier to bin these off to fit in with the crowd but you give It to us straight, like pear cider that's made from 100% pears🤣

🤣

[@Soccerates]

Love me a Stewart Lee reference 🎉

[@GreenoEats]

The look of surprise on your face when it actually tasted good was brillant !

[@lewis72]

Considering the price of some of the McBurgers that you have reviewed, £1.79 for this seems like quite good value. I imagine that quite a few of those cals are from the burger sauce and the cheese, so you could omit those if desired.

[@witchmellor]

Back in the day before the world went bonkers I would buy a 4 pack of German imported Frikadellen for 99p at Asda, get some nice freshly baked burger buns from the bakery section and a packet of possessed cheese slices. Absolutely top scran with a few pickled gherkin slices, bit of tomato and onion topped with some spicy ketchup. Heaven!

[@simondalzell5635]

Bargain at £1 .79. I'm on my way to Aldi now. Good for a Saturday Night after 7 or 8 Pints. Thanks Gareth.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Hope you enjoy

[@dingnextstop]

Going off subject slightly Gareth, I walked around a largish Tesco yesterday and was looking at stuff in the frozen Isles, I had to “double take”… most of the cardboard packaging on products like burgers, fish fingers etc have all shrunk!! I mean really shrunk! So I immediately thought they’d reduced portion sizes dramatically but I believe it’s to cut back on cardboard? In the past I had a habit of picking up for example a box of “ 4xLarge battered cod fillets” and rattling them just to see how small the fish was inside and yep the all rattled, so in other words manufacturing made packaging much larger to make you think the product was larger when in fact it wasn’t! But it seems now they’ve reduced packaging everything looks really small!!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes SHRINKAGE and everything is going up in price. Skint and thin

[@paulballinger1218]

Like the look of this one. Had a couple of other faux McDonalds from Aldi, but think first time they used brioche. Definitely a once in blue moon treat 😂.... hate to think what my stomach would be like if ate one of these everyday 😮

Gareth eating these terrible items and reviewing them so we don’t have to. Legend pal 🥳

[@robertsmelt6638]

These burgers all look straight out of the Star Trek replicator. American style plastic cheese is a crime against humanity. Have to confess, I love the burgers at Wetherspoons. They are well trimmed up and good value. Nothing wrong with adding soy protein to minced beef. Mix 50/50 in a Bolognese and you can't tell the difference but is a lot healthier.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha yes mate

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Irrespective of the dubious ingredients, this burger at just £1.79 is a good mouthful for not much money. I've been eating junk food (not all the time!) since I was an apprentice in the early 1960s. At home my mum cooked pies, roasts, fish on Fridays, bacon and egg, absolutely loads of food. She had to, she was running an old people's home down in Kent. She probably would have had a fit to see what I was eating at work. I dare not go anywhere near this burger now, but 20, even 10, years ago I would have!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal

[@PaoloBanke]

Magnifying glass out and that's only to find the burgers 🤣.

Hi Gareth , some time's cheap can be cheerful, my son love these burgers from Aldi only £1.79 not bad at all. Enjoy your burger catch you next time🍔🍔🍔😋🤤👍👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@philipbutcher1971]

I have had the Southern Fried Chicken Burger in this Range. Instead of Cooking The Chicken Burger in the Microwave i done mine in the Air Fryer on Fry Setting Sprayed with some Air Fry Oil on both sides, then i Air Fried the Chicken Burger for 14 Minutes. The Bun i defrosted in the Microwave then Cooked it in the Toaster. I also done a Portion of Aldi Steak Cut Chips in the Air Fryer for around 12 Minutes. Tasted Delicious. Although next time im going to have the Aldi French Fries with it. I recently read that Energy Bill Price cap is going up again in January. The new cost of cooking in an Air Fryer is on average 18p per 20 Minutes. Basing it on that if you had done yours in the Air Fryer and done the Bun the way i did i would round it up to 20p Per 20 Minutes. Add the cost of using the Microwave and Toaster plus Hot Water and Washing up Liquid and a Piece of Kitchen Roll. Cost would be about £2.59 to £2.79. Still a lot Cheaper than getting it from McDonald's.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Philip

[@HJM49125]

You could make 4 of these by buying the individual ingredients, with quarter pounders x 4, for under £5. Call it £6 if you need a ketchup as well. You could precook the burgers and freeze everything unused

[@foxsux6000]

It's weird how these types of things almost always taste better than McDonald's.

[@davidsworld5837]

only reason is the burger is thicker than a McD burger has become.

[@robertbox5399]

And hot too. Goto Maccies now, and there's 100 deliveries sitting on the counter going cold.

[@marcse7en]

Apparently, according to the news, McDonald's are too busy harassing their staff to make good food! 🤣

[@markytuk1]

No they don't 😂. The snacksters McDonald's rip offs the likes of Aldi have been selling are awful. Even with this product it looks like Aldi have realised that the snacksters ones are terrible and that's why they've done their own. Their beef burgers contain chicken for a start. This one contains soya to make it cheaper. Don't get me wrong stuff like this has its place but it's not a decent alternative to McDonald's.

[@stephenwood8453]

It's only going to be as big as the box buddy, 226g is 1/2lb, so would it be 2 x 1/4lb burgers??

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

Watcha Gareth, age is a funny 🤔 When I was a lot younger, money was tight 😢. And we ate what mum& dad could afford. Now many, many years later.

[@jennyd255]

Good Morning Gareth. I'll certainly have a go at that. Looks ideal for a quick lunchtime snack. I tried the Big Cheesy Maccy D's burger you reviewed last week. Blimey that was huge - a rare throwback to the days before shrinkflation made everything so tiny, like this wee snackette. It did look like a right palava making that up though. Anyway have a good week. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you find this week. On my part I've recently discovered Booths, as Amazon prime are now delivering products from them in our area. They do have some cracking good ready meals which I wonder if you like to review at some point? My particular favourites are the ready made curries and the Chicken Kievs which are just fantastic - none of that minced chicken meat, they are made with solid chicken breasts - and they aren't small either! So maybe worth a go?

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers I've reviewed Chicken Kiev on the channel I think. They sound good. 😊

[@martinparker9249]

I let mine defrost and fry the patties in a pan with the bun , im not mad keen on that gerkiny tasting sauce so i add tomato/burger relish , not bad as you say !!

[@SaorAlba1970]

how much would you pay for a Burger King or a McDonalds double cheese burger, for the price you paid it's a bargain if you like it, as i've said previously i like my home made burgers using burger patties from my local butcher shop, i personally prefer my burgers to be smaller than the roll/bun, thanks for sharing Gareth :)

If you turn the toaster on and rest buns on the top it toasts them perfect. Also saves washing a pan 😂

[@ellecee453]

We used to buy cheeseburgers in a box here in the US and they were surprisingly good too. They were put out by a company that produced meat products (the name of which escapes me; this was about 20 years ago.) I believe they included a frozen pickle slice, too. Well, anyway, one day my son went to make one, opened the box, pulled out the inner plastic bag and all that was in there was the bun and the piece of cheese. No burger. There was a number you could call for complaints, so my son called them and I could hear the woman exclaim: "There was no burger in the box?!?!" So my son said yeah, no burger! Just the bun and the cheese. There wasn't even a pickle although I don't like pickles!" The woman started laughing and my son went on: "Would you like me to take a picture of it?" (She said, "Sure!" but gathered the codes off the side of the box from him.) Anyway, long story short she apologized for the missing meat and sent us a bunch of coupons for free products. I remember these were cheaper than going for fast food and tasted good; the meat was better than what fast food was offering.

[@milesfb]

That's sounds like a wonderful moment you and your son had back then. Fair play to you for complaining and reaping those vouchers for recompense (fully justified too). I think Gareths videos are brilliant eventhough I dont watch them as much as I used too. Take care. 👍.

I tried one of these on Friday (and thought of you as soon as I saw the 'I'm New' label...😂). Personally I won't be buying them again, as mine obviously didn't come out as well as yours did. It wasn't exactly bad, just not that tasty - with the burgers shrinking pretty small and firm. My son has previously talked me into dressing up a Rustler burger, and they proved surprisingly good - so I will stick with them (when on offer), on the odd occasion I get a hankering for a processed burger... 😆

[@nickjamesart9612]

Gaz, you are indeed a martyr, well done. BTW, it isn't 76% beef. It is 76% of the 41% that makes the pattie, the other 24% of the 41% is made up of the cheapest bulking agents, soya protein and the other myriad ingredients. They even have the cheek to claim it as a virtue, with "added soya protein" Just add proper beef, you would get more protein, but no this would take many pennies away from the fat cat investors. The beef incidently will also be the cheapest waste possible. Fun fact: Ultra processed food is an exercise in extracting the biggest profit from the poor person who eats it whilst keeping you carb addicted.

[@Coxy-b34]

Wrong. The 41% is the patties percentage of the whole 'Double cheeseburger' and that pattie itself is made up of 76% beef and 24% other stuff.
