Pickles are gross
fake meat burgers tremble before the might of the humble bean burger
Any DIY recipe you’d recommend ? I have been guilty of using pre-made vegan burgers too often, because making good ones yourself seems somewhat hard.
i use this as a baseline, then just add stuff/change stuff as i feel like it
I went to burger king once recently and asked if they still had the old garden burger NOT the impossible whopper. She acted like that was a crazy question and said there never existed a burger king garden burger.
I’ve been (at least) vegetarian my entire life don’t you gaslight me. :owl-pissed:
All this beyond meat and impossible meat stuff is bs. It just exists to make shit more expensive. Just give me a veggie patty damnit.
:10000-com: agree. Lentil burgers are also great, and i prefer jackfruit burgers over meat surrogate patties as well. I’ve been veggie for decades, i love eating plants, i want to have chunks of legumes and vegetables and grains in there. Some of this stuff comes so close to actual meat that it becomes kinda disgusting for me, i used to be an “i just don’t like meat” vegetarian before i went vegan. So if something’s too meat-like, i get kinda queasy.
Now i don’t think it’s a bad idea to have an alternative for people who like meat. there’s also some fake meat stuff that i really enjoy once in a while, like the veggie shrimps at that one vegan restaurant or the vegan lox that Aldi sells now in Germany. It’s always good to have more vegan options, and it’s good when going vegan doesn’t require people to give up on too much food they like. But it’s kinda sad when the “plant-based meat surrogate” stuff does not complement the bean burgers and the jackfruit and the tofu, but when only one of them gets offered for economic reasons - that always ends up being the fake meat version, because the market share of flexitarians, carnies doing a veggie day once a week and vegans who really want their meat replacement is just bigger than the market share of people with a strongly herbivoral appetite like me.
You ever tried a wild rice burger? I had one at a restaurant once and it was good.
I don’t care about washing my rice
If you use a rice cooker I’ve found washing it improves the results a lot
i don’t soak dry beans and i’m still alive
no no sorry i meant is soaking beans supposed to prevent them from killing you somehow or were you just being silly when you said you were still alive :blob-no-thoughts:
no i just do a fast “hot soak” technique somebody here taught me that works good
You can pair cheese with damn near anything.
I feel this is trivially true, since “cheese” is such an extremely unspecific term. Mascarpone, Cheddar and Roquefort are all cheese, but i wouldn’t put the Roquefort on my vanilla ice cream or in my muesli.
Kinda, my friends have a running challenge with me where they try to come up with things that can’t possibly be paired with cheese. Some things are rather difficult, couple I’ve had to spend a few days thinking on but I’ve yet to fail. So not trivial but huge variety make certainly makes it possible.
