Vegetarian Burgers

I’ve had impossible burgers and beyond burgers, the impossible is a bit better to me.

Vegans do not eat (or use) any animal products, so no milk, eggs, honey, real butter and so forth. Vegetarians are much less strict.
^This^

As a tangentially related comment, at one time I had one daughter who was vegetarian, another who was vegan and the wife of a couple we spent time with had Celiac disease (cannot tolerate gluten.)

It was a major hassle trying to put together a Thanksgiving meal.

All but the woman with Celiac disease have ratcheted back their way of eating. My formerly vegetarian daughter is once again an omnivore. The vegan moved to vegetarian on the advice of her doctor as she was becoming malnourished in her attempt to be vegan.

Back the topic at hand, vegetarian food can be very tasty. However, give me a bit of red meat every day, thanks.
 
Why do they contain so much salt?
I don't use salt. I will eat salted foods like chips and fries, etc., but I never add salt to my meals or when I'm cooking.
Because veggies/beans are bland all by themselves. That's not to say that burgers don't have salt. They absolutely should.

Soups can also have a lot of salt for the same reasons.

Salt and/or Fat = Flavor.
 
And, they're still alive? Sounds like they want to starve themselves. 😲 🤷‍♂️
hahahaha!
I don't think so.

I realized last year that we were eating to much vegan bread ,cheese, raw sugar products and to many items that use of coconut products. I gain to much weight and the cholesterol went up slightly. At 6' I got up around 188lbs. For me that's heavy. So cut out the coconut oil, raw peanuts reduced eating as much vegan cheese and bread and my cholesterol went down and I am back to a comfortable and consistent 175lbs.
Ya see being a vegan you still need to know what your eating to stay healthy and not starve.

"This is the Grammar Police! Pull over to receive your "F" for the day!" (your=you're) :LOL:
Coconut oil? Are you saying that it's an oil you can cook with? :unsure:

Hey look, I keep the vehicle's in shape, clean the pots, pans, and dishes, but I loathe (I had to look up the spelling:p) to cook.
But let me call the wife...


She said : why are telling or suggesting that you cook because you burn water! :oops:LOL But she said: yes you can use coconut oil. However she explained that was coconut cream or milk that she used (past tense) for cooking.


Last night dinner:
Although the taco shells Limed Corn Flour, Palm Oil, Salt, not the best for our foods we normally eat it still eatable on a limited basis. Everything else either came from are garden or vegetable's from Sprouts and she made the vegan cheese.

Naturally delicious and no animals products

I think enough of the grammar police nobody's perfect. I for sure am not.
On this thread it does not bother me, I know I have forum subject material friends here.

On Fridays evening's my 92 year old dad comes and eats and watches a movie with us. We don't tell him that burger patty is vegan ;)
Aside from the bun which is still not to bad for ingredient's that we only give to him the air cook potatoes wedges and everything else is all Vegan.
Doesn't look to bad huh?

I always have some Boca Burgers in the freezer.

As far as vegetarianism goes, I don't believe the animals care whether we eat them or if we eat up all their food instead.*

It's just a joke.
 
I've had the "Impossible Whopper" and the Taco Cabana (a Texas counter-service Tex-Mex chain) Beyond Meat taco.

The Impossible Whopper was pretty good- had I been presented with it as someone else's hamburger, I wouldn't have realized that it wasn't beef. It wasn't quite right for a Whopper, but it was still pretty good. I'm with the others who question if it's not lower calorie or lower fat, what's the point?

The Beyond Meat taco wasn't fooling anyone. It wasn't bad, but it was clearly a meat substitute of some kind.

The only other vegetable faux meat product I can think of that I've had is the Morningstar Farms breakfast sausage patties. Those things are great! They're clearly not pork sausage patties, but they're clearly breakfast sausage and very tasty. I would be very happy if I were to get those for breakfast somewhere.
