Yet again, I had dinner at the North Annandale Hotel. At the time of this review, the menu was substantially different to the one at the time of previous reviews of the same venue. This is due to new management. 

As is the style these days, the North Annandale now offers "sliders", or mini burgers. As the normal burger at the time (since changed) was the same as the last review, I got the sliders as a starter, before my main meal. 

The ingredients were simple, but tasty. They were:

• Bun
• Cheese (?)
• Beef Pattie
• Caramalised Onion
• Pickle
• Bun

Beef:

Small. Simple. It wasn't laced with the evils that are eggs, breadcrumbs and herbs etc. Tasty!

Cheese:

Minimal. I think it was cheddar. And if you have to question it, it can hardly be outstanding.

It was melted well, and gave a bit of a salty flavour. But I'm a salt slut, and it didn't really cut it!

Bun: 

Small burger = small bun! But a positive - the bun wasn't as wide as the rest of the ingredients were. So no bun-only bites. Can't really complain too much!

Extras:

Pickles. Caramalised onions. The onions were actually nicely cooked. A lot of places that claim they put caramalised onions on their burgers put raw onions on their burgers. Not a bad thing, but false advertising I say.

I like pickles. I even like the word pickles. Combined with the onions, and the (slight) saltiness of the cheese - great!

Fries:

Sad face.

No fries. This was ordered from the bar menu though. And it makes sense. Perfect food for those who are sitting at the bar, and find it hard to use a knife and fork, or hold a proper burger together (GENIUS!). Because of this, I won't factor fries into the total score.

 

Verdict:

A sexy snack. It won't fill you up, but it's a great starter to share. I live about 100m from the North Annandale, and I'm considering going over there as I write (the fact they sell beer may have something to do with it!). It's not a traditional burger, but tasty nonetheless! Nom nom nom.
