It's a burger on biscuits! American "biscuits", a staple in Southern cuisine, are similar to scones and are often served with milk gravy. For a less rich alternative to the creamy gravy, try barbecue or chilli sauce.

Is it a sandwich? Is it a burger? Either way, this tasty handful is pretty much an unofficial national dish in Chile. They can be up to a towering 10cm tall, stuffed with sliced pork, avocado, sauerkraut and mayo and sometimes cheese too. Make the pork ahead and you can have lomito for dinner in 10 minutes. And that's allowing time to warm the buns!

Clearly, this is a roll, not a burger. But it's really really good porky goodness stuffed inside the bread, so it's worth blurring the lines for this one!

Short for “poor boy”, these iconic sandwiches, traditionally made on a long baguette with rectangular rather than tapered ends, originated in New Orleans, Louisiana. They come with a range of fillings, from the luxurious, such as oyster, shrimp, and crab, through to the more mundane, namely French fries.

Not for the faint-hearted, this flavour-packed pork roll lands with a punch that will knock you off your chopsticks. You'll love this Japanese-style schnitzel recipe, with pickled daikon and cabbage for crunch, topped off with Japanese barbecue sauce.

Out of Asia


This burger bun recipe is our take on the traditional bread found in Xi’an. Although the original buns are the best, this delicious version comes a close second. You can use pork belly instead of lamb if you prefer.
