i can still remember the taste of these from growing up poor in the 70's/80's, But what I remember was a treat when we were given a dozen tinned beef stew EEC surplus from the beef mountain it was delicious and luxurious compared to what we normally could afford.
To use a funny quote from one of Ashens' reviews: "Its nobbly, its bobbly, it makes your tummy a bit wobbly." I couldn't remember which video it was though.
Isn't burgers in onion gravy just a gross sounding way to say salisbury steak? Edit: actually after thinking about it I think its the other way around. Salisbury stake is just a marketing way of saying burgers in onion gravy. Well done marketing!
The shot at 4:04 of all of them in a bowl gives me a feeling of a strange purgatory like world where every meal you ever eat is just burger patties in sauce with a spoon
You know what's really weird? They've been selling these for years, and they still do. Who buys them, and strangely enjoys them? I actually love the idea there's a secret Westlers Burger fan club. Nice to see we Brits are still a bit eccentric.
In this once incident.... I think the poor audio quality actually ENHANCED the video. It reminded me of the time when food like that WOULD have been exotic to the UK LOL... (sainsbury's, 197x) You sir, are a braver man than I, I'd not eat that crap.
The senior school I went to used to serve us cat food. They did have a cat, employed to keep mice away from the kitchen. However that one cat could not explain the absolutely huge pile of cans, about fifteen foot across & ten foot high. It was served in a pie surrounded by thick soft pastry but I could still recognise it as exactly the same stuff we bought our cat. So sometimes my lunch was the same as our cats dinner!
@@missmelissa_xxx2641 Unfortunately I think they did. I cannot see any other explanation for the absolutely enormous pile of cat food cans. It was only one small cat they kept in the kitchen for pest prevention. Also the pie filling looked & smelt exactly like the cat food, which consisted of chunks of processed looking stuff in a gravy.
I probably wouldn’t choose to buy these to eat, but I might feel differently if my cupboards were empty and I received a tin of these from a food bank. Sometimes things look and taste very different in a different set of circumstances.
Hahaha I grew up on this stuff in the North of England! Absolutely filthy, but we were poor. I tell my other half about it (10 years my junior) and she doesnt believe me :D
I can't imagine having a healthy relationship with someone 10 years younger than me. Mostly because it would make me a criminal I guess... But just think about it. When you were 18 and going to university/getting a job, she was only 8, not even out of primary school - does that not creep you out? Does it not creep her out either?
In the 70s these were the only burger we had, boiled in a pan with the sauce until hot & then these with chips sat on the carpet in front of the TV on a Saturday evening was the height of a cool USA food experience👍
So, basically, four discs of mechanically recovered 'meat', in a thick brown slurry. WARNING: May contain beaks, eyelids, udders and rectums. I very much doubt that steve1989 would even bestow a 'Not bad' on these. You would hear his sarcastic 'Nice.' on their reveal, though.
you scared the shit out of me i thought my headphones were broken then i checked the comments and everyone else was saying the audio was absolute dogshit lmfao still a great vid i still watched regardless ive been subbed to you for a while i love your vids lmao
I remember these from my (long ago) childhood. My dear mum couldn’t cook to save our lives, but she was a dab hand with a can opener. Sounds like these are as awful as I remember them.
Oh my giddy aunt! Nobody, but nobody, seems to excel at truly rank canned food more than us in the UK... And yes, I have had the dubious pleasure of these!
Because using every available part of on animal to create edible food is a bad thing? Whoe cares what it's called, where it comes from etc? Better than throwing it away and wasting food, it's cheap shitty meat in a can, everyone knows its shit but will provide adequate sustenance until your next pay cheque or incase there's a zombie apocalypse or some shit.
The burgers at fairgrounds were always Westlers in big catering sized cans, in brine. I remember eating these when I was a child in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and I remember them as being delicious, but now I wouldn't give them house room!
My first introduction to Wrestlers hamburgers was around 50 years ago at a fairground which was hastily thrown away. Cannot believe they are still in business tbf.
Boil up some potato, carrot, turnip, onion. Chop the meat bite sized. Put it in a large pot, add some water from the boiled veg to stretch it out. Pepper. Serve with crackers. Supper for 6. If you were poor and hungry you'd eat it. I would have called it a feast! Growing up, lunch was a ketchup sandwich.
Campbell's makes, or used to make, Sirloin Burger soup in their Chunky Soup line. It was like a beef and veggie soup with mini burgers about maybe an inch across. For canned soup, it was pretty good, especially with some cheddar or American cheese stirred in. Still the idea of burger soup always seemed weird.
Okay, that's just weird. To me, 'burger' requires some beef or at least beef flavor in the product. In my experience, mashups of chicken and pork are just a half step from tvp, albeit in the mushy direction, rather than spongy.
I remember burgers in gravy in a can as a kid. They were really nice, probably still are. I don’t remember the brand name, but they are/were very flavoursome. A tin of those with chips was a teatime treat. My mother was no cook! Oh and by the way, I never knew anyone who was fat, when I was a kid. I never heard of Ventaulin or anyone having breathing problems. There was no central heating either. We eat nicer stuff now from all over the world, burgers in a tin are strange to us now. To be completely fair, you could gave heated those burgers in a pan?
Is this the epitome of everyday supermarket cuisine over there? Like our Banquet TV dinners, Spam, and whatnot? : p Cause those meat patties (if i can call them that from that delicious sounding ingredients list), reminds me of some of the cheaper TV dinners. Just thin tasteless slabs of meatloaf, etc. It's probably for people that shop for quantity over quality, cause living cheap means eating cheap at times. Sometimes you are what you eat, and sometimes you eat what you are.
best way to prepare these: get a can of these, a bottle of whisky, and a dog, (which you already have)...open can, feed burgers to the dog....drink the whisky.
"What a list of ingredients!" ... "With a faint whiff of dog food"... "How are we going to enjoy this?"... said our very brave Mr. Shrimp. The things you do for us. You deserve better, we never wanted you to be unhappy or eat bad food.
I love them. Stick them in a jug, microwave, oxo in bit of water. Butter some bread. Scoff them all . Junk, but nice. Make sandwiches with them, dip them in the jug. And I'm minted.
Chicken connective tissue is the stuff that brings chickens together. It's magical properties don't translate well to the taste buds or digestion, I imagine.
You sounded very similar to David Hamilton, the DJ. You could have done a Top10 of weird stuff in can with the TOTP countdown chart music and I would’ve died happy.
I remember getting burgers from a stall outside Chelsea ground Stamford Bridge. The burgers were boiled and were grey. Weirdly they tasted great (at least to my pre-teen self in the 70's).
As an American, I assumed you were referring to the whole burger rather than just the party and wasn't why they would douse the buns with gravy like that. Canned , complete hamburgers also exist, however.
Grew up (in the UK) on Heinz' tinned burgers. Hideous taste, but we ate them in childhood with relish. Quite why we never made the leap of faith to form mince into burgers . . . I have NO IDEA!
In the bad old days of the 70's and 80's, if you were out and about in the city centre and fancied a burger or a hot dog, the only option was the Westlers stand, where they would use a pair of tongs to fish out a grey looking burger or sausage (I use the word loosely) which had been drowning in warm water for hours and whack it between some very cheap bread. The bizarre thing however is that I sort of got addicted to them. In my defence I was a callow youth and knew no better
I quite enjoy your weird stuff in a can segments. I think you are generally quite forgiving of most of the weird stuff you demo - but I guess you have your limits. My questions are, specifically in relation to 'Burgers In Onion Gravy' - 1. Apart from recently retired IT professions turned RUclipsrs, who would eat this stuff? 2 .Under what circumstances? On a slightly different note, I take it that the hot dog wobbling device (brilliant concept, by the way) was essentially vaudevillian, rather than and real analysis of the hot dogs?
Yeah, the wobble dog was really just a joke that went too far, but I think a lot of people loved it as much as I did, so I'm glad I pushed it all the way. These canned burgers? Not sure. I guess they are aimed at people who need to make something fast - ie dump the can in a pan and heat it all up, and serve with bread or instant mash, a tin of sweetcorn or some such, and it's a 5 minute solution to the problem of feeding a couple of kids in a few minutes between school and sports practice, or something like that. It's not a terrible idea, just not a great execution of the idea, in my view
@@AtomicShrimp I love the fact you're still replying to peoples comments 3 and a half years after the video was made. I've tried these burgers before (not in onion gravy mind) and I was waiting for you say they smell like dog food, that's all I could smell, and I'll never eat them again.
Delicious connective tissue! Yeah I remember those, tasted like greasy campbells meatballs. I remember Westlers hotdogs at the cinema..Yikes. Didn't know they were a Yorkshire company!
These recently appeared at my local Co-op in the canned food section. It was seeing the low meat content and the delightful sounding ingredients that put me off buying them instantly. In fact I'd rather eat a Rustlers microwave burger than these.
My guilty pleasure,in a dry frying pan on low cut them into 8s add garden peas and a good shake of white pepper and cook on low till hot.Then onto toast,once a week I look forward to them.
Great camping food with pasta mushrooms and add a bit of chilli. Yes you could use canned meatballs but this way you get more meat in a more compact size. TBH I haven't had this exact brand but a very similar thing.
I remember eating these once as a kid. The texture is something i have never experienced again.....Thankfully! It was a non meat type meat texture which was obv concerning even as a kid 🤣
Even acknowledging this video is 5 years old, I didn't think it was possible that a microphone could be released like that. I remember telling my friend about a microphone (headset) in poundland around 12 years ago so they could play games with us. It was literally far better than that! Shame becusse it's a good little view.
It's supposedly an action camera that I used to record this, but in truth, it's a glorified dashcam. For any other kind of video, I'd have reshot or dubbed over, but for this one, the reactions wouldn't have been genuine if I opened a second can.
@@AtomicShrimp it wasn't a criticism, I fully understand. I am more amazed that the quality of a manafactured microphone can get that low, I just find it interesting.
Serving suggestions " give to the dog ". Ive actually tried these myself for a joke and they was no laughing matter, sadly i brought 2 tins, the other is now an ornament on the larder shelf. thanks Atomic shrimp for your opinion on this, take care
The only way to eat these is heated in a pan and served with chips done in lard in a chip pan. Drain the gravy and have a splash on the chips. Salt, vinegar, 2 slices of Rathbones or Warburtons at a push.
I agree with you. But I have used them as something different for a change and I lightly fry mine with thin sliced onion and mustard. It's not a burger per say. But like taste wise a hotdog not too bad. As I live hotdogs more.
In context they are ok. They last for a long time without chilled storage, are cheap to buy and need the minimum of cooking and can safely be eaten cold from the tin. This makes them great survival food for emergencies. When push comes to shove they would be a potential life saver and a very desirable item. I have some, along with other tinned foods stashed away, just in case. I just hope never have the need to eat them!
is it bad that i REALLY personally like these? and they were a nostalgic thing from my childhood? I even currently have some in my cupboard alongside a pot noodle like tub of instamash and and a box of stuffing just for a rainy day I dont know why, but they're delicious I guess one goose's yum is another shrimps yuck i suppose.
"Burgers" are the assembled product containing beef patties surrounded by lettuce, tomatoes,various pickled vegetables, sauce and inserted in a sliced bun smeared with mayonnaise or alike, all combined or avoided by choice. The stuff in the can isn't Burgers ( though that's what's printed on it) oh, and don't forget cheese !
That terminology is debatable. Every pack of fresh or frozen products in the supermarket is labelled burgers. There are also people to whom 'hamburger' refers to ground seasoned meat before it is even shaped.
They're the ones I remember from back in the 70s & 80s. Different brand though, I think the old ones were made by Ross, or Findus.....they're fucking rancid 😆 Other than people who go camping - and even then I'd rather warm up a cow pat - I don't know anyone who would eat those things. Ughhhh, just the memory of them and seeing them in that 'gravy' is giving me PTSD flashbacks 😮😲
I need to make this. I make my owned canned food, well in jars. I put hamburgers in jars, it's weird, but not the weirdest thing I make or do. My food isn't as scary as commercial things, I don't use chicken connective tissue in my burgers 😂
AS opening a can of food from another culture: "I understand this is beloved in other parts of the world but to my western pallet I find it quite unapetizing. Perhaps I prepared it incorrectly..." AS when opening British food cans: "this is objectively disgusting" (this makes perfect sense but it is a fun contrast)
Using an Edison era wax cylinder for audio was a bold artistic move!
It gives a warmer sound.
Sambou Jaiteh so warm it’s actually on fire.

These used to be one of my favourite things to eat as a child. I was not a happy child.
yeah, i am sure of it
I hope things are much better these days 💛
I love em.
i was the same with vienna sausages...
Oh my god
That bread roll looked many times better than the patties.
Yeah, at least the bread was to his liking :D
I literally said aloud as he was putting the burger into it "Aww, what a terrible thing to do to a bread roll"
Yes, ten times better. And that roll looked awfull !
The list of ingredients reads like the contents of a chemistry set.

I used to eat these years ago when I was skint, I'd have them with instant Mashed Potatoes!
And when your skint and hungry it weren't too bad.
honestly the poor audio adds so much to this
The large FOV of this lens is great for this style of video. This camera and an external mic would be great!
I agree
This is a really good, long-life, back of the cupboard emergency food. Lasts longer than any other canned food because no one wants to eat it.

That looks a lot like the cheap version of Salisbury Steak that we would get in the school lunchroom a few decades back when I was in high school.

It's supposedly an action camera that I used to record this, but in truth, it's a glorified dashcam. For any other kind of video, I'd have reshot or dubbed over, but for this one, the reactions wouldn't have been genuine if I opened a second can.
@@AtomicShrimp it wasn't a criticism, I fully understand. I am more amazed that the quality of a manafactured microphone can get that low, I just find it interesting.
@@atomiclemon77 It's OK - I understood your intent - just felt like explaining a bit of background
Serving suggestions " give to the dog ". Ive actually tried these myself for a joke and they was no laughing matter, sadly i brought 2 tins, the other is now an ornament on the larder shelf. thanks Atomic shrimp for your opinion on this, take care
These burgers are fucking VILE! XD The "meat" isn't even meat in my opinion. It's just sludge in a can.
Do you want the dog to bite your hand?
The only way to eat these is heated in a pan and served with chips done in lard in a chip pan. Drain the gravy and have a splash on the chips. Salt, vinegar, 2 slices of Rathbones or Warburtons at a push.
If you were starving an a deserted Island and this tin washed up on the beach, it would be the tastiest thing EVER.
Sounds delicious! where can I get some lol
funny enough, at least here in germany everything edible and packaged has "serving suggestion" or "serviervorschlag" printed on it
I agree with you. But I have used them as something different for a change and I lightly fry mine with thin sliced onion and mustard.
It's not a burger per say. But like taste wise a hotdog not too bad. As I live hotdogs more.
I can't decide what's funnier...the video or the comments 😆
In context they are ok. They last for a long time without chilled storage, are cheap to buy and need the minimum of cooking and can safely be eaten cold from the tin. This makes them great survival food for emergencies. When push comes to shove they would be a potential life saver and a very desirable item. I have some, along with other tinned foods stashed away, just in case. I just hope never have the need to eat them!
is it bad that i REALLY personally like these? and they were a nostalgic thing from my childhood? I even currently have some in my cupboard alongside a pot noodle like tub of instamash and and a box of stuffing just for a rainy day
I dont know why, but they're delicious
I guess one goose's yum is another shrimps yuck i suppose.
I was heeeeaaavy going to buy these out the off-sales a few days ago aha .
"Burgers" are the assembled product containing beef patties surrounded by lettuce, tomatoes,various pickled vegetables, sauce and inserted in a sliced bun smeared with mayonnaise or alike, all combined or avoided by choice. The stuff in the can isn't Burgers ( though that's what's printed on it) oh, and don't forget cheese !
That terminology is debatable. Every pack of fresh or frozen products in the supermarket is labelled burgers. There are also people to whom 'hamburger' refers to ground seasoned meat before it is even shaped.

They're the ones I remember from back in the 70s & 80s. Different brand though, I think the old ones were made by Ross, or Findus.....they're fucking rancid 😆
Other than people who go camping - and even then I'd rather warm up a cow pat - I don't know anyone who would eat those things. Ughhhh, just the memory of them and seeing them in that 'gravy' is giving me PTSD flashbacks 😮😲
I love the ending text
I need to make this. I make my owned canned food, well in jars. I put hamburgers in jars, it's weird, but not the weirdest thing I make or do. My food isn't as scary as commercial things, I don't use chicken connective tissue in my burgers 😂
In America, we have a product referred to as Salisbury steak. It looks and probably tastes like them. Form Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
AS opening a can of food from another culture: "I understand this is beloved in other parts of the world but to my western pallet I find it quite unapetizing. Perhaps I prepared it incorrectly..."
AS when opening British food cans: "this is objectively disgusting"
(this makes perfect sense but it is a fun contrast)
Yeah if it's home turf I can be reasonably sure I grok the context
If it wasn't animal cruelty, I wonder if Eva would have even given these a second sniff
