Around Christmas time there’s always some pretty mental food and drink specials that get unveiled. Turkey Dinner Pizzas, Yorkshire Pudding Wraps, Mince Pie Crumpets – they all turn up and we welcome them with open arms. Well, gobs.
This year is, of course, no different with a vast array of Christmas themed specials, but there’s one that’s appeared that really caught our eye. And it comes from burger specialists Slap & Pickle.
If you’ve never heard of Slap & Pickle, where the ‘eff have you been this last 6 months?!
They moved into Society down on Barbirolli Square this year and have been slinging some seriously weird and wonderful burgers and loaded fries – such as their MASSIVE 3-patty burger ‘The Extra Yard’ and some fantastic Chicken Kiev Fries which I think about all the time nowadays.
This Christmas they’ve come up with a Christmas Menu of such extravagance that even old Father Christmas would probably have to unbuckle his belt whilst tucking in – and we know just how much of a chubster he is.
The piece de la resistance is the ‘ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS BURGER’ which starts off pretty tame:
Two Swaledale beef smash patties…
Cranberry Wensleydale…
Smoked bacon…
Pickles, Paxo Mayo…
Red Cabbage and Lettuce…
…but then finished off with a BEEF FAT-FRIED CHRISTMAS PUDDING!
Yeah, they take a Christmas Pud and deep-fry it in beef fat, and you know what? It’s actually really rather nice. Sure, it’s a lot – and you’ll probably get a bit of heartburn, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it went with everything on the burger.
Best of all, just like all of Slap & Pickle’s menu items – this is also available in both vegetarian and vegan variations – meaning nobody has to miss out this Christmas.
Oh, and as part of their #KidsInBlankets charity campaign, 25p from every Christmas item sold at Slap & Pickle will go to the charity Zarach – and tackling child bed poverty in the UK.
