I eat them on a regular basis. Pretty good.
You just mustn't make the mistake to think you'll eat a burger. Neither soy-products, nor the ones made of cereal taste even remotely like a good beef-burger.
I especially like the cereal ones, as they are a nice addition to a sandwich, while still being relatively light.
You can also preper falafel in the shape of a burger, it's tasty as well.
Not a vegan/vegetarian btw.

>>8169190
Well burgers are a pretty good food. It tastes good with veggies, a lot of sauces, is easy and fast to prepare and it can be quite healthy, if you use the right ingredients. I don't get soy Schnitzel and the like either though. That's just retarded. But in the end a burger is just a sandwich and when you look at it that way, it's pretty obvious that even vegans want a hearty sandwich once in a while.

>> No.8169224

honestly I've had some black bean burgers that weren't too bad. I made one in school that was basically a veggie chili patty and that was edible.
Fallafal burgers work too, but you gotta look at that like a fallafal on a bun, so get some tzatziki sauce in there, whatever.

Obviously they'd both be better with some meat.

It's a savory patty in a bun with certain condments, which is why a veggieburger work fine. Like >>8169218 says, falafel works well without pretending to be a dead cow.

If you make them yourself it's very good. Black bean burgers are very good, especially with some avocado slices on top (no meme, it gives the fatty background that beans lack)

there is a place a few blocks from me that makes a great veggie burger that's basically a modified falafel recipe. I almost always order it with bacon.

It sucks that, as you said, our main goal is to make food taste like meat. If only our main goal was something else like living in alignment with our ideals and morals, surely were that the case veganism would be a lot less humorous to you, right?

You don't get it. The goal with a veggie burger is to be able to continue to eat a very familiar and enjoyed food item, with the dead animal removed.

And the "most carnal food item ever" is probably a steak or something like that, not a sandwich.

>Ever had veggie burger? How was it?
I've never had a good one in a restaurant. From the best hole in wall vegan joints with business since the 60s...it's always crappy, no matter how many sprouts and avocado slices go on top, or bakery fresh whole grain bread, it's always this weird cheese bound rubbery grained, but mealy smushed overcooked beany nonsense with limited flavor.

I don't mind a veggie burger that does not pretend to be meat. I like the mediterranean chickpea burger from Morningstar, which is the easymode from the freezer version of a falafel mood. They crisp up nicely, and great to top off with some sour cream, garlic and cucumber slices to match the mood of a tzatziki. I sometimes put some lemon vinaigrette dressed baby greens on top of green goddess dressing which is tahini heavy. The curry spiced ones Spicy Indian Veggie burgers are equally as good if you top with something good: tomatoes, cucumbers, grilled onions, anything.

These are just convenience foods that don't break the calorie bank at the same time. I don't LOVE them. When I get a burger craving, I want a good one cooked to perfection, crispy crust on both sides, juicy and good cheese, all the toppings, or none at all. A steakhouse always works.

Ive never had one from a restaurant but the morningstar spicy black bean burger on a fresh bun with spinach, tomato and spicy mayo is one of my goto meals.

>> No.8169470

I made a pretty good one at a restaurant I worked at, the owner booked a party of 14 and their options were a wild mushroom gnocchi, a braised lentil and wild rice ragout, and a veggie burger for the main course. Only 2 guys ordered the burger so we had a few left and they were pretty tasty, I used chickpea flour, crushed chick peas, slow cooked barley as binder and as moisture, and in the patty I had bruinoised red pepper, jalapeno, and chopped grilled onions, served it with a corn pudding(with butter) and russian dressing. If you had to make it vegan you could leave out the russian dressing and butter in the corn pudding.

There's tonnes of different veggie Schnitzel on offer in Germany (some soy, some cereal based, and Quorn have one too) and most are very nice. Obviously, it's not going to be 100% there, but if you want less guilt eating Schnitzel, then it's a nice change.

Quorn is great. Especially the chicken quorn. Chicken sometimes has that damp taste to it, and Quorn chicken doesn't have that.

Also, ever had Linda McCartney cheese and leek plaits?
Unreal.

One of my non-vegetarian friends sometime buys the quorn chicken pieces occasionally for things like stir fries. He says he just prefers them to normal chicken occasionally.

Burned my mouth on these things too many times to mention.

I've also tried the Quorn fish fingers, quorn prawns, and a few other things that they don't know if they make any more.
