Got to say Gaz, although that pattie was a fair size - it looked VERY processed: no juices when you cut it and snapped like a twig when you bit into it. You’d have a better burger with a cheap bit of mince + onion 🍔😋
'Over Cooked by 10 minutes' Gareth... I cook these on the Grill setting, 5 minutes a side is more than enough. You had the right idea, just not the method. Maybe because they were overdone it altered the taste? Or it was just it's overall flavour 🤔... If you still have the other pattie, try grilling it and see if that works best. A good review otherwise, cheers Gareth 😀🤤👍
I think you may of overcooked it Gaz. Looked a bit dry to me... Burgers should be a bit juicy... Stick the other in a pan or on a griddle and have a round 2...😂😂😂
Hi, Gareth. Thanks for another brill review. That burgerr, never mind the taste, looked weird. It looked grey and very processed indeed. The best bun and the best fillings on the planet still couldn't hide its mediocrity. Your facial expressions said it all. Very expensive too. Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from Scotland.
Definitely think the odd taste you picked up was the shio koji. Not an off or spoiled taste, just out of place for what you would expect from a beef burger.
Cheers Gareth great review mate, I’m not sure what to think of it now , To be honest I find the TGI range not the best , The quality looked poor even though it was a good size . Try the Black Angus Burger 10/10 . Thanks buddy see you on the next one. Have a great weekend. 👍🍻👍🍻
Hi Gareth just watched it again and heard you say there is ethanol and alcohol in it, don't know if this had anything to do with it. It's a weird ingredient to add, especially as they claim to be good quality burgers.
I wonder why the manufacturers put that in. It's not as if it's advertised as a "Japanese" burger. Perhaps they overdid it on the amount. I use fish sauce (the stuff that smells like sewage) in Chinese stir-fries, but you have to use it sparingly as it is a very strong flavouring. Manufacturers often get carried away. I rarely buy any savoury food which says lemon on the label, because you can bet there's an overwhelming lemon flavour, not just a faint hint.
hey Gareth. very overpriced the TGI range in my opinion. The best frozen burger I have found is The Black Angus burgers at Iceland or food warehouse 8 for a £10 . you would love them they are peppery and big and delicious hope you can review them. keep up the great content pal. hope to catch up and have a pint over summer. T
It's the shio Koji taste a bit funky Shio koji is an ingredient that has enzymes that break down proteins. This does not only bring out the additional flavor and umami (glutamic acids) but also tenderizes meats and fish. The enzymes also break down starches into sugars. Which is why your meat can burn easily if you're not careful. BTW do you go shopping every day or just once or twice a week and buy loads of stuff? Only asking because of the amount of fuel you would use going everyday ☺️
Think you are largely paying for the tgi Friday logo on the box mate. Think ill give these a swerve. Im a big fan of the asda taste the difference burgers my self mate. You cant go wrong with them. And it all comes down to what you have on it anyway lol nice 1 mate
Mate Aldi was doing chilled beef burgers 4 for £2 they was absolutely banging !! If they still do them give them a whirl :. I’m well fussy when it comes to burgers 🍔 but they was exceptional., try them out ., all the best 👍🏻💯
They don't look nearly as good as those fresh butter burgers you reviewed a while back at a similar price point so think we'll leave these. We did pick up the gyros you reviewed yesterday to try tonight so looking fwd to that 👍
Another TGI Fridays range I'll definitely give a miss to Gareth I will stick to my local butchers burgers or the asda burgers you reviewed so far the only TGI FRIDAYS range I think I'll buy is the burnt ends 👍👍🍔🍔🥩🥩
The weird taste is the Shio Koji listed on the ingredients. It's a type of fermented rice and can taste quite strong, kinda like a soy sauce flavour but a bit different.
Well I think what you have got is road kill burgers and at that price I won't be trying them better burgers on the market for less money there just cashing in on a name
Wowsers, what utter tripe. Have you got a neighbour with an annoying dog? Used to go to TGI restaurants but gave up years (20) ago. Overpriced American crap joint. Only ever bought one TGI frozen meal item only for it to fill the dustbin. To be brutally honest Gareth I could tell by your boat race it'll be crap. I'll save my hard earned pension mate.
Hi Gareth have you tried the melt in the middle fish cakes at Aldi they have haddock cod and salmon each filled with a melting sauce absolutely spot on
If your going to have a burger it has to be Aberdeen Angus one, you cannot beat it and you don't have to add anything to the burger like the one you had, if it's so good why add to it ?
Eh up Gazza hows tha doin. Your definitely a chef in the making mate. The burgers looked okay. I think the taste is the processing part of the burger. A bit like hot dogs if you notice they have like a plastic after taste. Cant beat lard sandwiches they are so underrated and bloggers wont try them out lol. Hope your having a good one and behaving dont forget its sunday and it's the day for the antiques roadshow.
I bought an air fryer about 3 years ago ....used it about 6 timed then it got stashed in a cupboard never to be seen again. For me it dried out food too much ..of course they are quicker and cost less energy to use but the only thing i ever thought it cooked nicely were skinny fries (like McDonald's fries). All meat imo overcooked and dried out
Swanning around at the next door neibours bbq telling them you have a TGI designer burger doesn’t it then. “Oh look at me im a media star with a designer burger”…😂
Got to say Gaz, although that pattie was a fair size - it looked VERY processed: no juices when you cut it and snapped like a twig when you bit into it. You’d have a better burger with a cheap bit of mince + onion 🍔😋
yes wasn't right at all
I just tested it against the Big Daddy burger and totally agree with you. The Aldi wagyu burgers are excellent .
Hello Gareth, They are too expensive unless you are a U tuber ! Nice one.
'Over Cooked by 10 minutes' Gareth...
I cook these on the Grill setting, 5 minutes a side is more than enough. You had the right idea, just not the method. Maybe because they were overdone it altered the taste? Or it was just it's overall flavour 🤔...
If you still have the other pattie, try grilling it and see if that works best.
A good review otherwise, cheers Gareth 😀🤤👍
im defrosting the other and doing it in the pan with butter see what that is like.
gotta try farmfoods frozen sausage burgers 10 in a bag not that thick but add bacon and onions large soft bap really nice
Thanks
Make your own ! Create your own flavours.
Wish I had an Icelands closer to where I live they seem to be doing some different items ya can’t get anywhere else ..
Love your content bro I've got used to your regular uploads watch every video wholesome decent honest content
I appreciate that
alot of this TGI stuff seems very expensive for what it is...
Yes it is pal
I think you may of overcooked it Gaz. Looked a bit dry to me... Burgers should be a bit juicy... Stick the other in a pan or on a griddle and have a round 2...😂😂😂
I try to make my own now, when I can, as can add bits and pieces to customise.

It actually did look strangely grey stewart… not very appealing 😝
Thanks for watching!
Definitely think the odd taste you picked up was the shio koji. Not an off or spoiled taste, just out of place for what you would expect from a beef burger.
Can’t beat them old school Birds eye or findus burgers not very healthy but I’m still here 🍔🤣💙
Haha yes me too lol
It does say on the box that they are best eaten from defrost. And fried. Its easier to tell when they are properly cooked if you fry them.
Cheers Gareth great review mate, I’m not sure what to think of it now , To be honest I find the TGI range not the best , The quality looked poor even though it was a good size . Try the Black Angus Burger 10/10 . Thanks buddy see you on the next one. Have a great weekend. 👍🍻👍🍻
thanks pal
Can't win 'em all. Thanks for the advice. Kx
You’re welcome 😊
They look good on the packaging saved me some money their Gareth
Better off with 400g of beef mince , black pepper, a little horseradish in the mix and make your own patties.... far superior! Cheers Dafgwy
cheers
What kind of flavour did you find unpleasant? Sour? Bitter? Not enough salt or pepper?
Funky pal
@@BaldFoodieGuy had a Shaft, Curtis Mayfield burger vibe Gaz🤣
Good afternoon, oh no that face 😔 was a worry, I don't know if f I'd be brave enough to be Trying it. Well done you for giving it a go
Cheers Mary
Think I'll definitely try one of these! But I'm not spot on today nearby got struck by lighten madness!
oh nooooo
That will be the Horsemeat flavour!!
Fry them in a sea of butter and pepper the hell out of it!
Haha yes
😂😂😂what an honest guy if its shit u dont play around 👌
U on beer last night? Might explain funny taste lol
Haha no mate lol
mine tasted the same and dried out...i did them in a george foreman......if anyone has ever had a dale steak thats how the texture was to me.........
Hi Gareth just watched it again and heard you say there is ethanol and alcohol in it, don't know if this had anything to do with it. It's a weird ingredient to add, especially as they claim to be good quality burgers.
yes didnt taste right at all Ian
I reckon the flavour that you weren't sure about is the Shio Koji, its a fermented rice used in Japanese cuisine. it can have a funky taste!
Yes not keen on that Tony at all. 🙄👌👌
Nothing that a bit of hot sauce woudnt fix Gaz !!😄👍

yes I agree pal.
Gonna stick with they asda 4 for a fiver jobs mate they had great reviews in papers to! Especially the truffle ones
yes they are really good
Hi mate I love your channel I’ve just subbed you do great reviews and also you make me laugh..I hope your spot on too
cheers mate welcome to the channel 👍
Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
You are so welcome!
(Tracy) You well overcooked that, it looks horrid Haha, Best burgers I had are mine hehe :)
Mate Aldi was doing chilled beef burgers 4 for £2 they was absolutely banging !! If they still do them give them a whirl :. I’m well fussy when it comes to burgers 🍔 but they was exceptional., try them out ., all the best 👍🏻💯
Nice one Jay
M&S produced some good burgers one Father’s Day. Haven’t seen them for ages. Very expensive though.
TGI stuff is terrible.
M&S is way out of my price range...I envy people who can afford to shop there regularly.
They still do them, M&S "The Best Burgers" they're called. £5 for a pack of two. Not cheap but wow truly the best!
Why didn't you use your George foreman type of griddle ?
Exactly what I thought. Should have used his new Salter grill...
I've had these myself....there's a definite twang on the flavour that was very off putting.....the TGI range is very hit or major miss for me.....
yes not for me these Jon
They don't look nearly as good as those fresh butter burgers you reviewed a while back at a similar price point so think we'll leave these. We did pick up the gyros you reviewed yesterday to try tonight so looking fwd to that 👍
Yes your right mate they were good. The gourmet burger was the best up to now 🍔😋👍
Price point? Much easier to just say price
@@markdonovan8884 similar is the word I used before price point as they where all slightly different in the tender asked for the products purchased 😉👍
Hi Gareth it didn't look very appetising when you had cooked it, thanks for the review I shall be swerving past this one. Have a great weekend.👍
cheers Brian yes not good taste really
Make your own Gaz, thanks for saving me money mate.
That burger in the bun looks like a scooby snack :)
So it said you just released this video 21mins ago in notifactions, yet it says it was posted 4 days ago?
yes about 4 days old pal
Cheers Gaz top draw 🔝💪😉🏆
Nice one
Should call it a Dry Fryer lol
If you carry on like this mate !...you'll have more chins than a Chinese phone book !....🤣
Got to ask why you keep doing stuff in the air fryer as it just seems to over cook and dry out most stuff ? stick to a frying pan .
Another TGI Fridays range I'll definitely give a miss to Gareth I will stick to my local butchers burgers or the asda burgers you reviewed so far the only TGI FRIDAYS range I think I'll buy is the burnt ends 👍👍🍔🍔🥩🥩
cheers Robert
HI GARETH IM STILL WAITING ON THAT BUTCHERS SAUSAGE ROLL VIDEO WHICH YOU PROMISED ME AGES AGO ?
ive done it pal
Any burger that has ethanol in is a big miss for me. Seems like you disguised the flavour with some real food momentarily.
good point
I see you’ve played knifey spoony before.
Ethyl alcohol in a burger.....perhaps it was drunk when you tasted it. Haha 🤪
The weird taste is the Shio Koji listed on the ingredients. It's a type of fermented rice and can taste quite strong, kinda like a soy sauce flavour but a bit different.
Thanks for the useful info- if it tastes horrible why is it put into food?
@@JohnJones-wo1bc Well, it doesn't taste horrible if you like it! Just like anchovies, Marmite, blue cheese etc, you either love it or hate it!
@@calibrax Thanks. Love marmite, so I might try the burgers! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
cheers pal not for me
Oi oi G!!!
Hello pal
@@jenniferlaverick2365 I don’t even know!
Your always very honest Gareth with your Reviews 👍
Thanks 👍
throw youre cooker out for scrap
They looked OK but I wouldn't buy those in a hurry too expensive and as you say not much taste
Hi there is a lot of fat in the sausage pattys from Iceland but they vary good
Hi stick to quarter pounds from Aldi
spot on
Looked very dry & over done. Try grilling the burgers 🍔 A pass from me & thanks 😊
Well I think what you have got is road kill burgers and at that price I won't be trying them better burgers on the market for less money there just cashing in on a name
TFI Don’t like TGI Fridays
6 Ounce burgers
Horse burger
nay
Just goes to show TGIF is not all its cracked up to be and overpriced!!
Let’s hope it’s not horse meat lol
nay
Wowsers, what utter tripe. Have you got a neighbour with an annoying dog? Used to go to TGI restaurants but gave up years (20) ago. Overpriced American crap joint. Only ever bought one TGI frozen meal item only for it to fill the dustbin. To be brutally honest Gareth I could tell by your boat race it'll be crap. I'll save my hard earned pension mate.
yes not good pal
Too expensive, and too many weird ingredients.
yes Val you're right
Over priced 💩 let's hope your not on the pot 🚽 after eating that 🤮
haha was ok
Can tell.you we're not impressed your face
You're review fine Burger 👎👎👎👎👎 Burger is thin really and not worth money. Review 9 Burger look 2
Hi Gareth have you tried the melt in the middle fish cakes at Aldi they have haddock cod and salmon each filled with a melting sauce absolutely spot on
I don’t like shop brought burgers so I make my own, they are much better and don’t take long to make, I also freeze them to save time later on.
You seem to be getting a taste for lettuce, be careful that's how they convert you 🤣 have a lovely weekend 🖖🌹
Haha I know it doesn't sit well lol you too 👍👍😋
I dutifully get a couple of bags of mixed green stuff when l shop, this is usually put on my burgers and cheese sandwiches lol
@@nige3801 lol be careful you may be on the " got ya" list 🖖🤣🤣🤣
@@shellraymond2714 haha🤣💥
Looked very dry & over done. Try grilling the burgers 🍔 A pass from me & thanks 😊
Probably dried out toooo much in the "multi-cooker over setting", may need a retry from defrosted and fried?
thanks yes Im going to do that with the other one.
Gareth definitely won't be trying that one it's definitely not spot on 💙😳😂😂🤣
If your going to have a burger it has to be Aberdeen Angus one, you cannot beat it and you don't have to add anything to the burger like the one you had, if it's so good why add to it ?
Great video! Going to try this :) thank you again for sharing, new subscriber here ❤️
Thanks for subbing! please enjoy and welcome 😊
Maybe if you cooked them in the frying pan with oil it would've fixed the flavour. But I don't know
Good video :)
yes im doing that with the other to see whats it like 👍
Eh up Gazza hows tha doin. Your definitely a chef in the making mate. The burgers looked okay. I think the taste is the processing part of the burger.

hello pal yes not great these
How very strange? Think I’ll steer clear of that on. Have a good weekend 🥰👍🏻 xx
cheers Diane xx you too x
Hi gaz try the foodi on grill with the rack upside down so its closer to element great review tho keep em comming 😁😉
Thanks for the tip
The Ethyl and alcohol may be why it tastes weird....
good point
Hi Gareth, maybe because you did it in the air fryer, maybe it would have been better grilled.
I bought an air fryer about 3 years ago ....used it about 6 timed then it got stashed in a cupboard never to be seen again.
For me it dried out food too much ..of course they are quicker and cost less energy to use but the only thing i ever thought it cooked nicely were skinny fries (like McDonald's fries).
All meat imo overcooked and dried out
Most tgi is not good
Hey could u do videos of desserts and stuff ur opinion on them from aldi and places
Alway a good idea to put your probe in the burger….🍔🤪
they look nice but overpriced 👍
That's a shame Gareth the other TGI stuff has been usually spot on hasn't it, hope you don't get the 💩!
been ok Mick
I like Iceland tgi Friday pizza
Looks tasty beats McDonald's
Best wishes Gareth
cheers Kizzy
Nice big burgers. Did you over cook this 1 garry
