Verdict-wise, I probably wouldn’t have it again. I’m simply never in need of a five-minute meal but I’m sure plenty people are sometimes and in such cases the Rustlers burger does the job. Description Quarter pounder beef burger in a sesame seeded bun, with a cheese slice and a sachet of Rustlers sauce. This burger isn’t pretending to be an Admiral Codrington cheeseburger or anything even close. It’s convenience food at its most convenient and as such, carries out its task with aplomb. I finished the whole thing in less than a minute. No fries of course here. In fact from fridge to dishwasher was probably all within five minutes.

I’d literally a day or two ago saw their new “Hot Naans” and couldn’t help wonder what they are like. Anyway we’ve got to go as Miss Milkshake and I are off to do a review of our own – you better stay tuned…
