Alli asked:


I’ve never had a veggie burger before and I want to hear some opinions before I go out and buy some.
Seelarke – I never said I was a vegetarian, I’m just interested in trying a veggie burger because I want to start eating healthier and get more veggies in my diet. I eat meat and can’t live with out it.

  1. morning star and boca burgers

  2. Boca Burgers are the best, it really does taste like beef.

  3. gardenburger. the veggie burger at ruby tuesday is not meaty, but it is soooo good.

    SEELARKE—maybe you liked meat, you just didn’t like the cruelty involved.

  4. Just! Some? *Dude*

    There aren’t any that taste like meat. Morningstar and Boca do NOT taste like meat.

    EDIT: Don’t get me wrong, I like how they taste. They just don’t taste like any meat I’ve ever had.

  5. thats not healthy. it’s artificial flavour.
    you will die from that stuff.
    stick to veggies and fruits and some low calorie treats – DONT OVER DO IT
    ull lose weight, trust me

  6. Quorn is good and healthy because it’s not artificial flavours, its proteins and its better for you than meat as it doesn’t have the fat content.

  7. i personally don’t like veggie burgers.. i think they are grosss!

    i really love the quorn chik’n nuggets. they are amazing! try them.. but you have to get the QUORN brand. ;)

  8. Oh, I’ve tried them all!

    Personally I don’t like the meaty-tasting ones as much, but I think the Boca burger tastes realistic. Be sure to eat them the same way you would a normal burger, because the patties by themselves are no more exciting than a regular hamburger patty would be.

    My preference is the Dr. Praeger California burger. It has a bunch of vegetables in it and it’s kinda light green in color. I also like the black bean Southwestern burgers done by different brands.

    The Gardenburger BBQ ribs meal is crazy good. My coworkers always come in the break room sniffing and saying, “Mmm, what IS that?”

  9. I know I’ll get thumbs down, but if you are vegetarian, why do you want something that will taste like meat?
    I have some friends that like some of the veggie burgers, but I’ve never had one I thought was good.

  10. Boca Burgers even taste better than meat ! they r the best YUM! :P

  11. I’d try the vegan Boca Burger, It has more of a meaty flavor then the others.

    Morningstar Farms Grillers (Particularly Grillers Prime) taste like meat, I think. But I haven’t had a “real” burger in 12 years, so I might be forgetting.

    I wouldn’t consider them to be like vegetables, though. While I think it’s healthier to eat a veggie burger than a meat burger, it’s not the same as eating a serving of broccoli or salad, you know? There are other burgers, like Gardenburgers or Dr. Praegers, that are like veggie patties. They don’t taste like meat, but you can tell they’re made from veggies. You might want to give them a shot, not as a substitute for meat, necessarily, but as a way to eat more vegetables.

    Good luck!

  13. I have the Morning Star Farms Garden Veggie Patties in my freezer right now. I think they are Amazing!
