BURGERS

At the end of last year, Horizons reported that an average US citizen spends the equivalent of £56.84 a year in McDonald's, while the average European spends only a third as much, at £16.58.

But we are still a nation that loves our burgers! The emergence and continued growth of brands such as Gourmet Burger Kitchen bear testament to this but the real beauty of the humble burger is in its versatility. Firstly, consider the wide choice of burgers available these days; veggie, chicken, beef, pork, tuna, lamb, salmon and so it goes on. Then think about what you can do with them simply by adding a number of toppings, sauces and other ingredients, plus the different types of carrier you can put them in...

Moy Park Foodservice, specialists in convenient, high quality chicken products and mouth-watering meat-free items, has taken out some of the hard work for you by offering a wide range of great bun-fillers with a variety of coatings, especially for the foodservice operators.

Its delicious chicken burgers are all quickly and easily prepared in a number of ways, are made with breast meat sourced from the EU and many feature Moy Park's signature "Chickwich" batter, which is well known in the industry. For more choice, Moy Park's vegetarian burgers, which will surely appeal to those wanting to follow a healthier eating plan, are equally delicious and easy to prepare and serve. Julia Saunder, Head Chef at the Old Cock Inn in Droitwich, tried the Spicy Beanburgers and says, "They were lovely; I always used to make mine from scratch and would never before have thought that I could buy any as good as my own but I won't be making another bean burger in future. The texture was good and they were really tasty." Fine praise indeed!
