This is the closest "special
sauce" copy you'll find anywhere, make it at home & take it with
you ready prepared.
Ingredients; 4 oz mayonnaise 2 tablespoons French dressing 4 teaspoons smooth Branston pickle 1 tablespoon very finely grated white onion 1 teaspoon white wine/cider vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar a sprinkle of salt 1. Combine all of the
ingredients in a screw-top jar
and stir well. 2. Refrigerate the night before you go to the show, so that the flavours blend. 3. Stir the sauce a couple of times as it chills. |
It's probably because of that
tasty "secret" spread that is slopped onto both decks of what is
allegedly “the world's most popular double-decker hamburger”. And what's so special about this sauce? After all, it's basically just Thousand Island dressing, right? Pretty much, but this sauce has a bit more sweet pickle relish in it than your average thousand-island concoction. I have found that this copy comes very close to the original with the inclusion of some French dressing. This, along with the sweet & sour flavour that comes from vinegar and sugar, makes this sauce go well on any of your home burger creations, whether they're Big Mac clones or not. ![]() |
Tools; either the grill that’s in your van or a disposable BBQ & something to stand it on, a chopping board & a sharp knife, a fish slice to turn the burgers, some plates & a spoon for the special sauce. |
|
Ingredients; buns, gerkins, lettuce, onion, cheese (I recommend Red Leicester because it melts really nicely) & burgers. |

Now, to do this properly, go down to your local butcher & buy your burgers there. Ask the butcher to tell you what he puts into the burgers that he makes & sells for very slightly more than the rubbish that you’re used to buying from the supermarket. You should pay no more than 50-60p per burger & if you’re used to eating frozen rammel, They will taste like you’re eating steak. Trust me, I wear no shoes! |

Method; Pre-heat the Grill or BBQ (don’t forget to let a disposable BBQ warm up for at least 20 minutes) & then cook the burgers according to the following table; Rare – 3 mins /side Medium – 4 mins/side Well done – 5 mins/side Cut the Bun into three & drop the middle section onto the BBQ (or under the grill) for about 30 seconds a side while you’re cooking the meat. Assemble your big barefoot burger from the bottom to resemble a big Mac as follows; |
|
The bottom of the bun,
Special sauce, Finely sliced lettuce & onion, Cheese Burger, Middle bun, toasted more Special sauce, More finely sliced lettuce & onion, Two Gherkin Slices, another Burger And finally the top of the Bun |

big barefoot burger. Is that better or what? back |
