Blue Cheese, Roasted tomato and Coleslaw Burgers with Sweet Potato Chips

I will just apologise now for the raw meat picture, I made these while a friend was over and she was adamant that I take a picture of the burgers before we cooked them and now I really like the picture so I can't not put it in. I've become a little bit of a loaded burger fanatic recently, I was one of those children that liked food very plain, we didn't really eat out much and the only place I had ever seen burgers with lots of stuff in was at a fast food restaurant and I never eat fast food burgers. I don't actually know if that was because they didn't really do jam packed burgers here back then or I just never saw them, so I was quite slow on the bulky burger bandwagon. I have always been a lover of fat sandwiches, there's a weird story of how that came about but I won't delve into that now, and when I say fat I'm not being over dramatic, they're usually borderline too big for your mouth and now I'm pretty much the same with burgers.

The trick to this burger is not to cut the blue cheese too thick because you don't want to over power the other flavours, don't skimp on the tomatoes and heavy on the coleslaw.

When you don't know what to write about, I guess we can call that bloggers blog, which in my case is a rather frequent problem, you have to find inspiration from somewhere. Eventually I will get better at finding that inspiration but today I resorted too "mum....hypothetically...if you were to write about coleslaw....".

I always feel like anecdotes are the best thing to write about on here but believe you me sometimes there is no entertainment, mishap or amusing situation that comes from making something, and this coleslaw was one of those things. So mentioning in passing to anecdotes and coleslaw my mum told me about the great coleslaw debacle of 199?; okay don't get your hopes this tale is neither thrilling, humorous or plagued with drama and it's almost 83% speculation and only 17% fact.

I assume I was quite young because I have no recollection of this happening, we were living in our old house, it was new years eve; cue the memories of brisk cold walks home at 1 am where you can see your breath as it exist your mouth and the dull sound of thumping music coming from peoples houses. I imagine the tale of events went as follows; someone, more likely multiple someone's, were walking along the street with coleslaw and obviously decided my dads car would ultimately be the perfect place to put this coleslaw, whether they proceeded to eat it off the car after dumping it there I'm not sure, maybe it was bad coleslaw. The more likely tale of events being drunken people with a possible distaste for coleslaw finding it hilarious to throw around. According to my sources coleslaw does not do wonders for your paint, I guess the moral of the story is that you should probably stand a least a foot away from your vehicle while consuming this and if you do manage to fling it the way of your car maybe try and clean it up straight away.
