“The boca burger's #1 ingredient is soy, while morningstar's is vegetables…”

The number 1 ingredient in Morningstar Grillers is TVP–it's soy plus wheat gluten.

I'll never figure out how they get away with gouging as they do for what is effectively a by-product of a fantastically cheap GMO crop, though.

Greg is a douche. Can you tell me more about the f*cking box which we can already see and has absolutely no effect on taste?

All veggy burgers taste horrible out of the microwave. Taking just a couple extra minutes to pan-fry makes all the difference.

I’m definitely not a vegetarian but I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to try something new eh?! I can wholly appreciate your sacrifice and I’m terribly sorry that you had to put that in your mouth!! (mostly referring to the boca burger!)

I’m going to be anxiously awaiting a frozen pizza frodown, I would just like to know once and for all which is the best~!

I don’t even pretend these are a substitution, so no bun and my topping is only salsa (different varieties, depending). Anyway, I think how these get cooked makes a ton of difference. I use my toaster oven and toast them. Morningstar is my favorite and Gardenburger makes some great flavors. Haven’t tried the others.
