I am full of useless information. I just need to channel all that knowledge and apply it ... like to that resume. On that note, I owe somebody something something. *sheepish grin*

I would have to say no. Though that is an idea. Sort of a double cheese burger but without the guilt.

Guilt? :confused:
You could still have two burgers (with cheese!) but I was thinking you could replace the lettuce and onions and pickles condiment combo with a veggie burger on top of the other burgers.| Urizen |

Hey, if that gets me the daily requirement fulfilled for fruits & vegetables, then I approve of this.

my mind reels at the thought that vegetarians would want everything to taste like bacon.
A good friend gave me some Bacon Salt a couple of years ago. It is perfect for those meals where you think, "This is good, but it would be better with a little bacon."
In other words, every meal.

Are there actually any veggie burgers out there that are tasty enough to fool you? Call me skeptical.
Absolutely not. Although I actually like the taste of a good soy burger. It has a neat sharp flavor, reminiscent of a nice chicken-fried steak.
Not as much as one made out of cow, 'though.
I've heard Boca Burgers described as tasting enough like meat that some vegetarian friends were uncomfortable eating them. (The ethical sort of vegetarians, unlike me, the needed-to-lose-a-bunch-of-weight-so-that-I-could-throw-away-my-insulin-vege tarian.) They taste okay, and a hell of a lot better than crappy pre-frozen hambugers you get in those packs of 20 for $8 in the store, but neither holds a candle to a burger you made yourself from ground beef and cooked on a grill.
Most other fake burgers are pressed vegetables, and nasty. I *like* vegetables. If I want to grill up some veggies and throw them in a pita pocket with cheese, I'll do so, and it will taste 100x better than the veggie burger patties they sell in the freezer aisle.
And it'll taste even better when I fry up some bacon to throw in there. Veggie subs + bacon = win. :)

Yup. I occasionally spring the extra ~$0.75 for bacon strips on a SubWay just for that. Alternatively, can always just fry them up at home and toss them on when I get back from the restaurant.

$0.75? It's a dollar more here. Bastards.

Might be a dollar. It's been a while.

D'Angelo's grilled Veggie & Cheese pockets are *awesome* with bacon.
You just have to get used to explaining to the girl at the counter that, yes, you want a vegetarian sub, *with bacon.* :)

If Kermit knew how good bacon was he would be eating Mrs. Piggy all day long!
And, how do you know he doesn't?

I've become convinced that I'll never have the money to attend a paizocon, as this is year three, it falls on my birthday, and I still haven't made it.

I myself am a firm believer of condiments, and want some of this, I wonder if it is allowed to be shipped into my country...

Note the bold text above the ingredients.
Bac-O's are one of the few meaty tasting things you can eat as a vegetarian (though it's much better nowadays with improved soy products than it was when I was vegging a couple of decades ago.) They make sure such folks know there are no animals harmed in the making of Bac-O's.
Now I'm curious as to what segment of their market is strictly vegetarian.
| Treppa |
I don't use Bac-Os, but I do buy and eat the Morningstar Farms bacon strips. I crisp up a couple strips and add them to my Boca burgers or in my breakfast tacos.
I was good with most of the soy products (hamburgers, ground "beef", sausages, chicken patties) but never could manage the bacon. The real thing has a certain je ne sais quoi that soy and faux bacon salt will never replace!
