Rustlers Southern Fried Chicken sub

I love Rustlers because they do quality burgers that you can just pop in the microwave.

Since they just launched the new Katsu chicken burger, I had to give it ago but because of the 2 for £3.00 promotion I got the Southern Fried Chicken sub with the Katsu burger as both were new to me.

Compared to the tiny disappointing chicken patty in the Katsu Burger, the chicken pieces for the sub were much bigger.

Overall, it was your usual chicken deal from Rustlers but the Sub bun was different in the sense that it was herby with a chew.

It didn't crisp in the crisping sleeve but I wasn't bothered about that.

Overall, I prefer the burgers in the Rustlers range because instructions are simpler.

With the Sub, you had to turn it over halfway through which is annoying.

RUSTLERS Moroccan Vegetarian carrot & coriander falafel burger

Finally spotted the RUSTLERS Moroccan Vegetarian carrot & coriander falafel burger at Sainburys for  £2.

It is a deep-fried carrot, chickpea and coriander falafel patty, in a sesame seeded bun, with sachets of mango chutney and mint yogurt dressing. 

First impressions are the sauces, I couldn't quite associate mango chutney and mint yoghurt dressing being Moroccan. Mango Chutney is Indian and Mint yoghurt dressing is Turkish although some Indian restaurants do serve mint sauce.

The patty sounds right though because Moroccan cuisine uses a lot of coriander.

From some reviews the falafel patty lacked a crisp surface because it is microwaved but I am ok with a soft mushy patty because falafel can sometimes get too dry and hard when they are fried.

To get that crisp patty, I reckon you could achieve that by toasting it but I am going to follow the microwave method.

As expected, I did not like the mango chutney sauce and the mint yoghurt dressing but the mint yoghurt dressing goes well with the falafel patty because the creaminess of the dressing improves the texture of the patty.

Since I didn't have any mayonnaise, I used Nando's Peri Peri sauce which made it delicious so because of the sauce, the Vegetarian burger ended up tasting good.

I wouldn't mind buying this again and having it with mayonnaise for another experience.

[Review] Rustlers BBQ Rib Burger

Out of the basic range at Rustlers, I was drawn most to the BBQ Rib burger because I like BBQ sauce and not often do you get rib burgers in other ready to eat burger brands.

I don't know if anyone else remembers but McDonalds had the McRib burger a while back which was really good.

Basically, it is similar to the sausage patty but in rib shaped patty smothered in BBQ sauce.

Rustlers has two sizes, the bbq rib burger and the bbq rib.

Essentially they are the same but the bun and patty is longer for the bbq rib and so are various products in the Rustlers range.

It makes me wonder if the sauce sachets are bigger in the BBQ Rib version because the patty is longer.

As I just wanted to try the rib patty I got the BBQ rib burger because it is just the same as the rib burger but smaller.

To my surprise, the taste was just like McDonalds McRib, the rib patty was juicy and the smokey BBQ sauce complimented it nicely.

[Review] Rustlers Flame Grilled Cheese Burger

I am not really keen on beef but decided to try the Rustlers Flame Grilled Cheese Burger so that I have tried a bit of everything in their basic range.
The beef patty was impressive after it came out the microwave as it looked like it was flame grilled.
Everything from sauce and bun were good but the only let down was the beef patty as it had these chewy gristle sinew bits that I don't like which is the main reason I am not keen on eating burgers, minced beef or sausages.

[Review] Rustlers Classic Hot Dog

Since I have reviewed a few of the Rustlers products, I decided to try their hot dog as well which is probably the last in the basic range to try.
Rustlers do have some special burgers but I am not near any superstore to get it.

The instructions for the hot dog was 1 minute 40 seconds in a 800W microwave.
To be honest, 1 minute 40 seconds for the hot dog is probably right but it would be too long for the bun which would go chewy.
Fearing a chewy bun, I microwaved it for 1 minute 20 seconds and the bun was still chewy as expected so microwaving them separately would probably be better but I doubt I would buy it again.
The taste of the dog itself with ketchup and mustard included was not bad.

Ironically, I was Co-Op and the Rustlers double hotdog pack was reduced to 64p so ended up getting them.
This time I microwaved the hot dog for about 40 seconds and it turned out good.

[Review] Rustlers Sausage Muffin

Rustlers burgers have been around for ages since 1999 and going strong.
When they first appeared, there were only a few options but the now range is bigger and better with chicken, ribs etc.

A few weeks ago, I had the Rustlers Southern Fried Chicken Burger which was very satisfying so this time I got the Rustlers Sausage Muffin.

Instructions are simple, it is either toasting or shoving it in the microwave.

For the sausage muffin, it only involves the microwave then slapping on the cheese and ketchup.

Overall, I was really impressed with the taste especially the sausage patty as you could taste the seasoning and spices.
However the ketchup annoyed me because it was sweeter than the other brands but it was easily fixed by adding some fiery peri peri sauce to it.
The slice of cheese melted nicely as the sausage patty was very hot from the microwave which is why you have to let it stand and cool down before eating.

I hope to try other burgers in the range but sometimes it is difficult because you have to go to the bigger stores.

My next priority to try would probably be the Flame grilled BBQ Rib!

[Review] Rustlers Southern Fried Chicken Burger

Rustlers burgers have been around for ages since 1999 and going strong.
When they first appeared, there were only a few options but the now range is bigger and better with chicken, ribs etc.

It is not my first Rustlers Burger but decided to post it since I have not posted any Rustlers burgers before.

I got the Rustlers Southern Fried Chicken Burger.
Instructions are simple, you just toast the burger buns and microwave the patty for one minute.
The sauce is in a separate sachet and you can put as much or as little as you want but since it is mayonnaise I used it all on the burger.

Instead of toasting the burger buns, I microwaved them for 20 seconds because I like them soft and fluffy.
You get that lovely sesame bun smell when you put them in the microwave like the smell you get unwrapping your McDonald burgers.
On the contrary, I thought the chicken would taste better if you toast it rather than microwaving it.

Overall, I was really impressed with the taste especially the Southern Fried coating which had a hint of spices and black pepper that went well with the creamy mayonnaise.

I hope to try other burgers in the range but sometimes it is difficult because you have to go to the bigger stores.
