Veggie Burgers
| 
Jul 27 14:31 UTC 1997 |
I read an article recently where a survey in Consumer Reports, on veggie
burgers, was quoted. They had some folks rate non-meat burgers which were
grouped into two categories - those trying to taste like meat and those
trying to taste like an vegetable pattie.
Of the ones that tried to taste like meat, something called a Bocca burger
rated highest. Of the ones not trying to be meat-like the group rated
Morningstar Farms veggie burgers the best.
I have always been fond of the Gardenburger brand but last night I made
both Gardenburger and the Morningstar Farm burgers and had John play
guinea pig. He had a preference for the Morningstar brand. I too found it
slightly better with a crunchier texture and a bit of a smoky taste. But
the difference wasn't remarkable so I think I'll just buy whichever is
available at the time.
Anyone else have a favorite brand?

I like making them from scratch. More control. I too read that Consumer
Reports article, and I was surprised that they didn't mention making the
burgers from scratch as an option. They're usually pretty good about
including a homemade option for comparison purposes.

Last night we tried Morningstar Farms "Better 'n Burgers" brand,
which is soy-based, and I suppose is more of a fake-meat product.
I didn't care for it one bit. Way to much of a smokey flavor and
gummy texture.

Yep, guess I'm just a smokey, gummy kinda guy. :)

I like Fantastic Foods' Nature's Burger, which is a mix to which you
add water. I haven't tried any of the pre-fab burgers yet.

Last night we had veggie burgers for dinner but fussed-up up a bit.
I topped each burger with some thick and chunky guacamole, sprouts,
red onion and tomato. Served next to a side of carrot, raisin and
apple salad it was a colorful and yummy dinner.
I really like the Morningstar Farm brand of veggie burger.
But if you decide to try them be careful you are getting their
all vegetable burger. They make a soy-based one too that I
wouldn't recommend.
