He weighs his balls on them , before and after sex.

Definitely true

@@KimmyWood yea iceland stuff uses mechanically separated meat , if the meat looks gooey or finely ground , its bone scrapes , thus the grizzle , even in the 90s i hated my mum buying iceland meat , sausages burgers pies , all had grizzle in them, absolute trash

Remind me when Iceland had quality food? 😂 I'm not say it's bad, But all their meats have always been cheaply processed. The prices have gone up though, Like everywhere and everything.. And still rising.

Tbf iceland quality was never the best but it as certainly gone down alongside prices going up. No wonder iceland is struggling and closing stores. Compared to other budget stores like aldi. They are just not up to standard anymore.

Well, I realize that it's never been the best quality but, even though it hardly seems possible, I really do think the food has gotten worse.

Loved them also mate.

Yes I loved them too, always repeated on me, but I don’t care 😂

My school friend was in that advert.

Asda own brand are very similar. Could eat a plate full of them dipped in ketchup!!!

If you're at all worried by cooking smells in house then cook outdoors. It's a good backup to own camping cooking system in case of gas/electric outages, which you can use at home for outdoors cooking.

Mass, not weight. 😉

Usually 20-25% I’m no mathematician but seems about right to me!

@@SpeccyMan Food is referred to using the term "net weight", which happens to be the same as mass while we are on Earth. But this isn't a physics class, so I used the term weight as that is what people use when talking about food.

Its the same with a bit of lamb it weighs a couple of pound at the butchers but once roasted its half that. Had a wool jumper like that too it was half size after washing, I reckon it came off the same sheep.

@@calibrax now there is an irony as net its also what is left after all deductions, so maybe the burger should be sold cooked after these deductions, the fat taken away etc. Or label as gross which would be appropriate with some burgers.

Or you get a Angus burger from lidl, job done!

Absolutely. I can’t understand anyone that buys a pre made burger. Makes no sense!

Morrisons chuck ones are the best by far

Not if you're too bone idle to cook, it isn't. Every day I see neighbouring families, bitterly complaining about the cost of living. Then buying takeaways and microwaveable crap, rather than spend some time making up a casserole or pan of soup. They'd rather watch TV while waiting for the microwave to ping.

@Carl T you're right, they're absolutely banging. Their old English recipe bacon is amazing too.

Iceland were one of the first stores to put their prices right up!

I agree with you, Iceland is now too expensive for me as I'm living off the state pension. I now mostly shop for food at Poundland and Heron Foods, their prices have obviously risen over the past months, but no where near as the price rises at Iceland.

I used to do my main shopping at Iceland but they put up their prices way higher than anyone else. I mainly use Farmfoods and wait til I need enough to get to £25 to then use a £2 voucher. For non-frozen non-fresh stuff B&M Bargains is usually good prices.

Hi David I'm on the pension as well so I try to save where I can. I used to go in Lidl but there prices have shot up, about 10 of the items I used to buy have gone up fifty pence each. I went round Tesco the other day and just got the basics as i had quite a bit stuff in the house and it came to forty pounds, there was nothing there. I don't know how you are expected to live. If you are on the new pension you can't claim anything

@@SandraDent-lf4xy I know food inflation is higher than pension increase so there's a squeeze. However, during the covid lockdown I did the shopping for those older than me, I was shielding them. I took multiple pensioners shopping lists and bought in different shops. What I did was bulk purchase and get the different offers in each shop. Somethings cheaper in Tesco, other in Iceland, other in Farmfoods, etc. I then split up the bulk purchases (BOGO, 3 for price of 2, discount for 2, etc) and told each pensioner their amount owed. I was told I was lowering their food bills because I'd moved them from buying for 1 or 2 to buying for more. My lesson learned was to keep doing that and bulk purchase. I'd get together with others nearby and take turns at shopping and you individually buy less variety but in greater quantity, and divvie up. That lowers food costs probably around 20%-30%. Next is you take turns at cooking and cook in bulk and take turns visiting each other's house for dinner. That lowers energy costs of cooking. In winter you also heat fewer rooms as you sit together. So don't shop for 1, don't cook for 1, and don't spend time alone. Yes I know not everyone can do that, and those with weaker immune systems arguably should not do it, but those who can should. BTW Tesco is more expensive in general, I tend to only get their clubcard offers but there aren't many which are cheaper than others so my Tesco shopping is smallest. If someone cannot do that shopping method of many different shopping trips each leaving with bulk purchase offers method and you only wanted to do one weekly shop in one place, it would have to be Aldi, on average lowest prices. Personally I hate Aldi as I do a daily smaller shop on a bike and Aldi's checkout queues are horrendously long, suits a weekly big car shop type.

Hi Nigel you are right in what you say, I usually buy offers to save money and I bulk bake and freeze meals. Unfortunately I haven't got the time to go round different shops as I am my husband's carer and i don't like to leave him too long and I'm not in the best of health myself. It was a lovely thing you did during covid. It's very rare i go to Aldi as it's farthest away from me and as i said about Lidl prices going up, Aldi is more or less the same.

Buy a Kilo it's cheaper and put the rest in the freezer.

Farm foods do their own large burgers 6 for 2.99.once cooked they are pretty much the same size

Buy beef/pork mixed mince for £2.66/lb (454g) in Asda and make burgers as big as you like in about 15 seconds

@@jiggely_spears not just asda , anywhere

But brioche buns are sweet. I've never found they go well with savoury things. Jam is fine. Or honey. Or just butter.

@@SuperLittleTyke if you’ve never had smashed burgers in brioche bun your missing out!

Glad you enjoy it!

i love the double cheese burgers, all company's use frozen weight unless they don't of course as shrinkage cannot be controlled. some cook them for longer or shorter time, different temps and cookers etc legally it is frozen weight.

Much better and considerably cheaper, I quit buying supermarket burgers when I started watching Gareth’s product reviews 1-2 years ago.

Thats what I do Mel.

Gareth has staying inn beer reviews gone AWOL ? Or left quietly with an escapea

I did that today, see my reply to Gareth. As for the burgers, they tasted so good and better than any shop bought ones.

Convenience. That's why. People can't be bothered to make patties and would rather pull out a frozen job from the freezer and whack it under the grill or whatever.

Cheers Gav

They have fallen into the trap that their brand name will guarantee them success..... "TGI"..... Nah.Their restaurants are going south...now they are grasping at straws. And...the are not "freezing their products"...they are merely passing on someone else's! Did you honestly believe they actually made their stuff? Get real.

@@patagualianmostly7437 i said they freeze their product. In no way does that state i said they make it. Youve dissected my comment and came over as passive aggressive. No need!

I think the rating idea is a good one.

Years back me and the Mrs used to enjoy going to TGI’s for a meal. However last couple of years I’ve been 3 times and all of them bad, food not as good, slow service and very expensive. I kept trying thinking it was just a one off bad experience but 3 in a row… never again. It has put me off trying any of their supermarket food. I would always make my own burgers anyway, just season and shape some good mince and whack in the air fryer, incredibly simple. Love your videos 👍

Cheers Peter

A lot of the food at Iceland is processed rubbish!

Cheers Bob

You're welcome

Cheers Win thank you 😊

That's it. It's hard work lol

Yes will do mate cheers

I have been a vegetarian for years meat makes me ill

I'm partial to the odd veggie thing aswell. Makes a change.

Yes we all eat a bit of veg, I mean its hard to do the 5 a day regular but we all get a bit one way or another we just happen to like a good gravy and a nice bit of meat too and to be honest I think that is quite natural. Just because we have become half civilised doesn't mean we are going to lose all the instincts and become grass grazers.

Thank you

Thank you kindly and welcome

You're welcome

Cheers Barbie x

You're welcome

That's because they are frozen burgers.

Thanks

Good idea

Cheers Ady

Haha cheers Steve lol 😆

i bet if u cooked them inside them metal containers so it keeps the fat, ud get less shrinkage

@@girlsdrinkfeck I think Gareth followed the manufacturer's instructions, but you could be right there..

If you buy a quarter pounder at a burger van, are you buying the weight you receive or the weight it was raw? Crazy that the weight of the raw item is used, nobody would ever experience quarter of a pound in food in a bun.

Nothing worse than a man's meat shrinking once it gets warmed up. 😮😅

@@AaronTheHumanist 🤣🤣

Thank you 😊

Haha yes mate cheers

Cheers pal. Just up the coast from us here.

I would pay more for the TGIF name to be taken off . Dreadful place , only for non foodies and way overpriced for what it is

Amazon have a look for deals. Price varies.

Yes will try and cook the other 2 from defrosted slowly and see how much loss there is.

Cheers pal

You too Janice x

Cheers Harry

Thanks 👍

That's it mate cheers

Cheers pal

Yes all matching and my face too mate 🤣👏

Well in Scotland the dear steak cost them 3 quid they are all frozen and you can't get rare if you wanted lol not sure how you micro frozen uncooked food but it is all frozen and cheap quality

Noted! Cheers

Yes they are sneaking on I've noticed but because all air fryers have different Watts they say refer to manufacturers instructions.

Haha cheers pal

Really?

who cares the about fat worrying thing is the carbs in a burger! wouldnt touch any burger with more than two ingredients protein and fat!
