Kat samples... veggie burgers
Anyone that knows me knows that, before I went veggie, I absolutely loved a beef burger. A Burger King Whopper with cheese was my weapon of choice, and I was quite panicked I wouldn’t get the same level of satisfaction from a meat free burger. Well, I’m happy to report that I was wrong! I’ve reviewed 5 veggie burgers and given my ratings below.
Tesco Onion Bhaji Burgers, £1.50 for two. Vegan? Yes
I absolutely love onion bhajis so I was super excited about these. Unfortunately, they just didn’t live up to my hype. I can be massively put off by texture and for me, these were too mushy and also didn’t have the onion crunch you get from a bhaji. They’re also quite expensive compared to other burgers I’ve had. I think next time I’ll just buy the real Indian snack fave and put it in a bun!
2/5
Sainsburys Meat Free Burgers, £1.50 for eight. Vegan? Yes
I was pretty happy when I found these, as you get so many for the price. However, they have a pretty overwhelming onion flavour, so I’m not sure they’re the ones. They’re much more palatable in buns with ketchup and mustard, so I think that’s the only way I’d eat them.
3.5/5
Aldi Spicy Bean Quarter Pounders, £1.25 for four. Vegan? Yes
I’ll own up, I was eating these before deciding to stop eating meat. Theyre just the right amount of spicy (I’m a wuss), and are good firm burgers. They’re delish on their own or in a bun, and are really nice with salsa. Big fan, and they’re super cheap too! I absolutely love Aldi so I hope they introduce some more veggie/vegan options soon.
4/5
Tesco Meat Free Meat Style Burgers, £1.75 for eight. Vegan? No
You know those days when you just need junk food? If you really crave a shit burger, pardon my French, these are for you. Unfortunately they’re not vegan so not everyone can enjoy them and eventually I won’t be able to, but I got such a pleasant surprise when I ate them. The quest will have to continue to find ones this good/crap that are vegan too!
5/5
Sainsbury’s Indian Style Lentil Quarter Pounders, £1.50 for four. Vegan? Yes
These are everything I was hoping the bhaji burgers would be and more. Love the Indian tastes (again, not too spicy for a wimp like me!) and the texture is ace. I had one in a pitta with salad and it was a taste sensation. Would definitely recommend to everyone, what a bloody lovely burger!
5/5
A vegan health store by me (Sunrise Organics in case any of you are in the Dorset area!) sells Frys, so I’ll be giving their burgers a try in the next week or so. I’ve heard great things about Frys so I’m pretty excited to try them.
Does anyone have any different burger recommendations? Hit me up :) Also it’s my birthday celebration tomorrow and I’ll be trying the vegan pizza at The Stable, so you can expect a post about that in the next few days.
