Karen - where in Australia were you from? I would have been with your DH
because rissoles aren't hamburgers <g>. To me, rissoles are a completely
different dish - a meat patty which may have chopped vegies in it, and
often coated with breadcrumbs, then fried. If I make a hamburger at home
it would be a meat patty which definitely doesn't have vegies in it, on a
bun (either hamburger bun or damper bun - I prefer these), with lettuce,
beetroot, tomato, sauce etc - just like a hamburger you would buy at a
milk bar.

When we were kids we would certainly sometimes get a hamburger patty with
mashed potatoes and veg for dinner, but we wouldn't call it a hamburger.
