The big mac has to be one of the worlds most recognised burgers. Even if you've never had one, you've almost certainly heard of it. The Mcdonald's big mac is a simple but effect burger, with it's 2 beef patties, lettuce, onion, pickles, cheese and that iconic sauce. Now the sauce is actually really simple to make. In fact Mcdonald's themselves have made a video on how it's made. The problem with that video is it didn't give you any quantities, but don't worry I got your back!

As I said in the video, I have many fond memories of the big mac. Although I rarely eat them these days, I just have a feeling of nostalgia come over me whenever I see one. That's the great thing about food, is it's a direct connection to your emotions and parts of your life - good or bad - just like music.

Now some quick tips on how to make your own big mac at home. One thing I had a little difficulty with was buying the green pickle relish. Most burger relishes in the UK see to be of the red kind, which is not what we want for a big mac burger sauce. I did find some though at Mark's & Spencer's but I do believe Sainsbury's and some of the bigger supermarkets stock a version of green pickle relish, so you might have to hunt around a bit. Another tip, is to buy good beef! Go to the butcher and get the bets you can afford, because it will make your burgers so much better.
