Mini Burger Monday

The firm that I work at has a very peculiar birthday tradition, where the birthday person brings the cake (or any baked goods) to share with the rest of the office. It’s kinda weird as it is usually that person who receives the treats rather than dispatching them. However, because everyone does it, it even outs and we get frequent little morning teas spread out through the year.

This Monday was one such day where someone had to bring the (baked) goods and share with the rest of us. But this time is was special. In addition to a cheese cake the birthday girl had also made mini burgers!! In my ranking of awesome food you get at a catered event mini burgers is pretty up there, probably just behind the mini asparagus rolls. So to see mini burgers at a Monday morning tea was a pretty big ordeal for me.

The burgers were pretty awesome, firstly, the bread buns were home-made. They weren’t chewy and were a great golden color, lasted great too. There were two types of meat filling, a small chicken patty or small slices of sausage. I thought the sausage was a good change from a regular patty, as the circumference of each slice was ideal for the miniature nature of the burger buns. They were conveniently bite sized and packed a lot of taste (see photo).

To top this off, there was another birthday on Wednesday. This time there were cakes. But having two birthday morning teas in one week has been brilliant.
