I like veggie burgers if they are cooked right. Most places don't though.

For fat snake, why bother, a burger is a bit of an animal, IE. its flesh or flesch!!
If you don't like tasting meat, especially a fur-burger , go suck a lettuce leaf

I happen to like properly cooked veggie burgers. I also happen to like properly cooked hamburgers. I'm not substituting one for the other.

But what is the patty of a veggie burger made of.

It depends on the brand. The original Garden Burger brand Ingredients:
VEGETABLES (BUTTON MUSHROOMS, ONIONS, CRIMINI MUSHROOMS, PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS), COOKED BROWN RICE (BROWN RICE, WATER), ROLLED OATS, MOZZARELLA CHEESE (PASTEURIZED PART-SKIM MILK, CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), WATER, BULGUR WITH WATER FOR HYDRATION, PARSLEY, CHEDDAR CHEESE (PASTEURIZED MILK, SALT, ENZYMES, CULTURES, ANNATTO FOR COLOR), CONTAINS TWO PERCENT OR LESS OF YEAST EXTRACT, NATURAL FLAVOR, MODIFIED VEGETABLE GUM, SALT, MUSHROOM EXTRACT, GARLIC POWDER, AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, SPICES, CITRIC ACID, MALTED BARLEY, NATURAL BUTTER FLAVOR, WHEY, DEHYDRATED ONION, ANNATTO FOR COLOR, DEHYDRATED MUSHROOMS, GUAR GUM, NATURAL SMOKE FLAVOR, TURMERIC FOR COLOR, SOY LECITHIN.

^^ Yum! ^^ All those lovely chemicals and additives ^^


just get some meat, slap it in between some buns and chow down on it.

I guess you don't know what you're reading then. None of those ingredients are anything but natural foods and spices.

True Blah but how can that taste at all like a burger?

Yep, all natural foods, I'll pop down the shop and buy them ..................

Oh, they don't stock them, I'll have to go down to the laboratory and request they produce them.

Veggie burgers ok for pussies I suppose, but I'd rather eat the pussy

It doesn't taste like a hamburger, it tastes like a veggie burger. I eat meat and love a good hamburger too.

Given a choice between a veggie burger and a by god beef hamburger, that's not even a choice .... I'll take the beef, thanks.

But ... in the vein of veggi stuff here's a lil concoction I recently whipped up out outta the garden that's awesome: take 6 jalapenos, 4 onions and 3-4 cucumbers shredded in the food processor, take a flour tortilla and slater on a lil mayo and shredded cheese, add 2-3 heaping teaspoons of the shredded veggie mix, sprinkle on a lil black pepper and seasoned salt and it's CHOW TIME

But .... addin a lil ground beef or some cooked/shredded pork would be awesome too. Bein a confirmed carnivore I LIKE MEAT

I don't care if it has camel nipples in it...
... if it tastes good I'm into it.

Well I like peppers and cucumber but not raw. They have to be pickled in some way even it it is just vinegar. All my veggies have to be cooked. I don't care about the nutrients it is all about the taste. About the only veggie I like raw is onions.

Some veggies I like better raw and some better cooked. I can't handle onions anymore especially not raw. Instant gut bomb for me. It's too bad because I love the flavor. The best burger to me is a nice juicy fully cooked patty on a bun with nothing but tomato, lettuce and pickles, no ketchup, mayo, special sauce or anything. If the meat is done right it doesn't need any more wet stuff on it for me. I love salads, often with no dressing at all. Everyone is different. I try not to limit myself to any particular kinds of food, I pretty much like em all as long as my gut can handle it. I don't think getting good nutrition is that big a deal either. It's common sense to me. Also trusting what your body wants is a good thing I think.

you forgot the bacon and cheese

Onions do tend to repeat on me but I really love them so I make sure I have gas x on hand.

Always have to have cheese on my burger and occasionally bacon but you are right a properly cooked burger really need no liquids just lettuce tomato onions and pickles. I just wish burger joints would season the meat the way they used to in the old days.

I can do em with or without cheese. There are still some mom & pop restaurants around that cook things right. There's one in Waldport that makes just about the best burgers I've had. I asked her what she does different than others and she said, "Not much, I just don't smash the patty while it's cooking. That squeezes juices out."

True no smushing and they must be seasoned at least with salt and pepper which most fast food chains seem to never do anymore.
