YES WE HAD THEM LAST NIGHT, I AM ON A CHOLESTEROL FREE DIET and VEGGIE BURGERS TASTED GREAT..all depends on how you prepare and serve them, they can be as tasty as a real burger..but then the two are apples and oranges...I love a good BLUE CHEESE BURGER or JALAPENOS BURGERS as well, but the DOC says I have to watch what I eat... so I do, RELUCTANTLY....
They're OK in a pinch when no alternative is available. I like mine cooked on the same grill as real patties at least to absorb a bit of meaty goodness.
When I go out for a burger, I'm not going to spend extra for a sandwich with no meat in it--what's the point? Why not eat a salad if you don't really like meat? Why pretend to eat meat by mushing a bunch of vegetable matter and grains into someting resembling meat? It just seems kind of pointless, and unappetising to boot.
They are really tasty if you put all the dressings on them (cheese, 2 tomato slices, onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup). I don't like them very much unless they have all that stuff on them...
I wouldn't call them a substitute for hamburger though. All the veggie hamburger patties, that are made to taste like hamburger taste awful to me. Veggie sausage protein patties on the other hand taste delicious! I can barely tell the difference between them and real sausage... (at least I think it tastes similar, I haven't eaten hamburger or pork for 3 years).
The store brands really are not very good but if you ever get the munchies when your passing by a vegetarian/vegan restaurant stop in and try one. Some of them are amazing. The best burger i ever had was a lamb-burger......I think i just slobbered a lil....
I crave MEAT!
(I'll take the REAL Beef)
