    Reminds me of the one time I was desperate enough to order a veggie burger at burger king.

      Where does Burger King sell veggie burgers?

        They used to just about everywhere in the US a few years ago. They called it the impossible burger and it tasted the same as a whopper. Not my cup of tea, but I’d say it’s a faithful reproduction

          Nah this was in like 2012 or 13 or so, before impossible burgers were a thing. The patty was a thin unidentified mat of some kind of substance. There was a sodden patch of greenish white and one of reddish white.

            Can confirm, 2012 vegetarian burgers were sad. They’ve really improved in the last couple of years

              What are you unclear about? Look up veggie burger on image search. They’re usually conglomerations of various vegetables that are compressed and fried or held together in some other fashion.

              Example

                Hungry Jacks (upside down Burger King) used to sell those types of veggie burgers. They were super unimpressive since they felt more like a “just give them an option” thing rather than something meant to be enjoyable. I’d be surprised if they didn’t just copy another Burger King menu item.

                As an aside, I feel like one of the few people that enjoy the impossible burgers. I’d buy em all the time if not for the price. Which as an Omni, seems like they’re doing their job then.

                  +1 for Impossible Burgers. They’re very convincing.
