Note sure why, but I'm slowly liking more and more home-made burgers. Maybe it's my stomach? :lol:

I think in the UK they have a red bean burger as an alternative in Popeye's so I tried that once and it was fine.

Been a while since I had quorn actually, I had the nuggies on Wednesday and they're good too.

I haven't had veggie burgers. Maybe I'll like mushroom ones! I'm curious what quorn is though, is it corn or somethign?

Chicken in burger, while not a big no no for me, is a bit tricky because when done correctly the meat is very juicy and tends to slip out of the buns.

Mycoprotein...it's borne of fungus.
Actually a lot nicer than it sounds, honest xD

Ah so like mushrooms then?

Yeah quorn is mycoprotein from mushrooms and stuff, and it depends on the product it imitates like cocktail sausages for example. Beyonds are more wheat or soya I think, and the one I had today was an own brand ALDI one of the same ilk.

Ok, that gives me intrigue to try sometime. I've started getting used to eating pickles!

Oh yes, I never used to eat pickles with burgers when I was younger, but damn do they add a nice dimension to the flavour profile.

Ironically, I still don't like cucumbers! Makes me wonder though if I would like some vegetables better if they were pickled.

I don't think I ever seen this thread somehow. I just like a quarter pounder and I'd eat anything on a burger (that goes on a burger ofc).

I always think that when burgers are advertised as 100% beef, they're the cheapest and most trashiest beef they could find in the dumpster.

First time I ever had a burger, I spit it out and actually faked going to the school clinic cuz i hated it. Left a bad impression for awhile

Beef tends to shrink too and any time I've done those for my partner I have to ask if he wants one or two. I prefer giving him chicken or fish ones tbh.

I used to find Quorn too salty, but now I have their fake chicken escalopes every weekend, and they're quite nice!

This somehow reminds me of always being hungry once I finish the GTA playlist with my friends at midnight. It's a hecking running joke now :lol:

I doubt any of them are truly 100% beef. If you find nice ones though, they are well, nice. :lol:

I've gotten better at ignoring food cravings over the last few months…
