Silver Fern Farms Honest Burgers – Beef with Horopito Pepper

I bought the Lamb and Kawakawa Burgers to try, and found it difficult to extract the patties from their plastic cover, having to use scissors to cut around the patties, and use my hands to extract them from the packaging. It would have been better if there was a peel away upper cover, so I did not have to get my hands covered in meat and oil.

Upon getting the patties out of the covering, it was almost impossible to separate the patties, as the separating paper was wet, and would not peel off at all, and kept tearing into small pieces. It took some minutes to remove the paper before cooking.

Needless to say, my hand were really messy and contaminated with meat etc and had to bleach my hands before cooking,,,,,

I WAS NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!!!!!

Upon cooking, the burgers shrank to almost half their original size, and although I like spices, and pepper, I found that there was too much pepper, and I failed to taste any Lamb flavour!!!

As for the exorbitant cost of such a product, I will not purchase them again!!!!

This is an unbiased view, from a quite accomplished chef, and I believe is a fair account of the product.
