Food Bottega Sicula

“This donkey burger is really well made. The bread is a homemade seeded bread, beautifully aerated, not a soft bun — it's real bread, hollowed out. Inside there are mushrooms, trifolati mushrooms, tomato, onion, buffalo mozzarella, and salad, plus the donkey patty. Donkey meat is very lean compared to horse meat, and you can feel it — the burger stays slightly dry, but they played well with textures: the smoked buffalo mozzarella and sauces help a lot with chewability. The bread is crunchy and has a very particular sweetness. It doesn't taste as metallic as horse meat, which I like because horse meat has a strong iron flavour; this is a bit more delicate. It's a studied sandwich, made by someone who knows what they're doing. It costs €11.90. I'd say it's a very good product, unique — you don't find donkey burgers anywhere else. Definitely approved.”
