RE: Vege Burger

[Guest guest]

The mayo used on the vegie burger is NOT vegan.

It is reduced fat, but it does have egg in it.

 

I have had a few of them since they came out and they are very good. It is

strange to be going through a drive through or into a fast food place, but

since it is Burger King and their motto is " Have it your way " , i order it the

way i like it - which doesnt include mayo.

 

Did i mention that they are yummy? =o)

 

I am very excited about them introducing this veggie burger! Its hard to

imagine that last year we were protesting in, on and around them. I hope

they continue to offer a vegetarian option, and that other places follow

their lead.

Hi,

 

I tried the veggie burger too, but I found it rather bland. Next time I'll ask for catsup, mustard, pickles, onion, and tomatoes since our Burger King only puts on mayo and lettuce. (Also, here in New Mexico a layer of green chili is necessary for a good burger experience) The extra veggies should help a lot!

I've had a coupon for a buy-a-burger-get-one-free from Burger King for

awhile, but, since I don't eat meat, figured I'd eventually just give it away

to someone.Today I got the chance to actually use it. I bought a BK veggie

burger and got one free and ate both of them!. They are really good! I

laughed and told my friends this was my first experience at eating fast

food!! I'm now soooo mainstream American!!! lol!

They certainly make it sound like one..even using the word " vegetarian " .

 

 

 

Burger King Corp has revealed plans to roll out a veggie burger product

throughout its US outlets, hoping that the vegetarian menu addition will help

the company " earn back some loyalty " . " We thought it was time to do it, "

explained the firm's vice president and chief global marketing officer

Christopher Clouser: " We've been looking into a meat-free product for the

last three months very, very seriously, domestically and internationally. "

 

And this from a Vegan website:

 

Second, ask that your burger patty be microwaved rather than grilled. All

Burger King outlets have been instructed to offer this option, so that

vegetarians won’t have to eat a product that is cooked on the same grill that

is used to cook beef.

According to the BK legal dept. in FL, they sitll cook it with and in meat juices. They went on to say that they will not be chaning that, and that the BK Vegie is not a VEGAN or VEGETARIAN sandwich.
