That's partly why I must try one.

Is 'vegetarian' a dirty word?
- Thread starter Vinayaka
- Start date
You'll be the hero of your country for doing the impossible!
There are way too many possible versions:
- buckwheat and beet burger
- rice paddy, cornflakes and raisin burger
- sticky black rice with chopped cauliflower ... (pinto)
- chick pea and green pea
- dried apple and millet
Anything goes, really.
I've had some varieties.

Not entirely vegetarian, but progressively humanity will consume less and less meat, because of the energy requirements and environmental costs of producing meat.
Despite the claims of what some call the 'Paleolithic Diet' that depicts Neolithic humans as eating dominantly meat, but the reality is we evolved as opportunistic omnivores, and meat was no dominant except in some regions fish was a major part of the Neolithic diet, but not more than half. The dominant stable diet was foraging grains, herbs, vegetables and tubores. We are naturally omnivorous, and so our nutritional and gut requirements is best suited to an omnivorous diet.
We will nonetheless likely evolve also with our diet, and eat less and less meat.

No the research does not show plants feel pain, because plants lack a nervous system. Plants like all life respond to injury, and the goal, not anthropomorphic response, but the normal response for surviving and reproducing. Some plants are also carnivores, and the cycle of life and death, and the food chain as well is a natural process including all living organisms on the planet.

Not sure if it fools anyone. I just know that when we have a big family gathering and make burgers, this is a great option for the vegetarians in the family. They say it's really tasty. The hotdogs are also popular.
My daughter is vegitarian, and will on occasion eat meat free burgers or sausage. No problem, she is getting the nutrition she needs.
Living in france has caused problems. When we first moved here we went out to a restaurant and informed the maitre that she was vegetarian he looked concerned and said "poor dear, i am sure she will get over it"

If my daughter saw this she would call you a 'lard as.. '
Me, I'm a veggie, and I find cooking at home using unprocessed ingredients much less expensive than eating similar dishes at restaurants or buying highly processed things like veggie-burgers. A big sack of rice or dried beans is usually pretty cheap.
I wouldn't worry about exotic ingredients like tapioca starch. Anything bland that will soak up liquid will likely do just as well. No need to get fancy. Buy a box of instant mashed potatoes from your local chain supermarket and re-label it "tapioca flour."

Nothing at all, for me.
Just make sure the carnivores don't gobble up the veggie burgers, cause then the vegetarians have just the salad. (Speaking from personal experience here.)
I'll wager that you'd never raise a kid to be rude.
I wouldn't but school is another matter and it would sound better "Cul de saindoux"

I think the idea of “impossible burger” is for those who have tried the old style veggie burgers and found them to be little more than lumpy wallpaper paste. At least they were for me.
It’s supposed to prove to burger “connoisseurs” that these can be just as good as the regular burgers from these outlets. They’ll never be as good as a Fuddruckers or Smashburger. But they are for Burger King regulars
I’ve been buying Morningstar Farms Grillers. I admit, like @SalixIncendium that I do like a good burger and miss certain meats. But I’m going veg. for the ethical and dharmic reasons. Truth to tell these veg burgers are pretty good. I just like the toppings and texture... tomato, pickle, ketchup and what-not. That’s probably the only reason I tried them at all. Puerto Rican rice and beans is far more filling.

That's pretty old style, and most folks are over it. I've asked on travel forums about travelling to certain countries, being a vegetarian. The response is almost always 'it's really easy'.
