I reckon there's some kind of market for a fried egg put on bacon and, get this, [i]put in a roll[/i].

Can I patent it?

I think Greggs already have the patent of bacon and sausage.

No, because the criteria for a patent is that it should be innovative, not obvious like your "idea".

That ham dog on the other hand - FREAKING GENIUS!

There are many things I would put with a burger,a hotdog isn't going to be one of them.

I think you are on to something there 😉

One of my mates has scrambled egg on his burger,he calls it a Scramburger. Maybe I should tell him to patent it 🙂

When I read the article I did Google pie butty which it seems has already been invented by a chip shop in Wigan according to sauces on here...

Invented? I thought pie barms had been the staple diet of Wigan and its environs for millenia.

It's a shame that DrP didn't patent his alldaybreakfast pie 🙂

I've invented Bubblelambsqueek. It's Bubble & Squeek with lamb in it.

I'm making it open source (or sauce 😉 ) so everyone can enjoy it

Ah! 😳

Sorry having never travelled north of Watford without a passport I honestly had no idea what pie barms meant in English ! 😉 😀

Yes, that [i]was[/i] the point of my post.

Adding a sausage to a burger is not innovative.

I'm struggling to find the innovation in the bun shape either.

Clearly the Aussie patent office wasn't so difficult to please.

Rubbish, it's a work of culinary genius!

Yes, that was the point of my post.
Not a great point though was it, as it is clearly innovative (unless you can find evidence of it being done before). That's the thing with true genius though, with hindsight it looks obvious. 🙂

Unless, perhaps, a Vative is the name for that particular type of bread roll, in which case the burger and sausage combo is definitely in a vative.

Back in the day, the food van that supplied late night nourishment to students wobbling out of the Sheffield Student Union used to supply the legendary Kebab Special; a large white barmcake, a large helping of doner meat, that special kind of tinned burger you only get from burger vans, fried onions and chilli sauce. It was amazing.

I knew someone that made fish finger lasagne, where the fishfingers replaced the pasta sheet. It was strangely quite nice!!

I've eaten a number of them.

In fact every Friday at work there is a breakfast run to a van that will do burger & sausage in a bun.

It does come in a terribly old fashioned round bap though.
