A couple of days ago I bought a pack of 4 veggie burgers, as is my routine. They are convenient and quite tasty but not as cheap as they used to be. So imagine my delight when, on opening it, I found not 4 but 5 veggie burgers inside. The grocery stores have spent years raising all their prices at the expense of us little people. Well, now is my moment, now they really screwed up. Ha! That fifth veggie burger is going to have the delicious taste of revenge.

Edit: They say revenge is a dish best served cold. This turns out not always to be true. If cooking from frozen you need to grill it for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.

    After 20 years of vegetarianism I so enjoy impossible burger patties and impossible sausage. Biscuits and gravy. Meatloaf. I LOVE mushrooms but I am so happy with this new generation of fake meat.

      Beyond Meat burgers have this thing where if they’re charred, the charred bits taste AMAZING. I first discovered this when I ordered one from a restaurant and I wanted to know what seasoning they used because it was unique and delicious. Turns out it was just luck from having the burgers charred just a bit.

        I suspect, but don’t know, that Impossible Burger tastes better than low-end hamburger at this point. I remember a lot of “off” tasting burger during an impoverished childhood.

        I had a non-vegetarian friend try one and she hated it. She doesn’t like hamburger and said it tasted very much like hamburger.

        So agree that sliced mushrooms should be sautéed till golden brown in a lake of butter with salt and pepper. Now I want mushrooms!
