Oh boy! Was I excited to get to go to Burger King and order their Veggie Burger. The thrill of being able to go to a fast food joint and order straight off the menu – woo hoo!
So a Veggie Burger combo including fries and a drink it was. Cost around $US6.
The patty itself is a MorningStar Farms Garden Veggie Patty and the burger also has the standard lettuce, tomato, onion, gherkins, tomato sauce and mayo.
Verdict – it wasn’t worth it. The burger was tough and chewy. So disappointed!
The soft drink was the highlight, the BK we visited had a fancy electronic coke machine with literally dozens of flavour combos. Coke Zero with Lime … yum!
While I commend BK for at least having a vegetarian burger option, IMO there are better veggie burger patty options available… I’ll stick with Taco Bell for now.

Hey, here in Australia we have Hungry Jacks which is basically Burger King but with a different name. They too offer a veggie burger, it’s awful but it’s nice to know they thought of us while making menu choices. The problem is this, when I first got to Oz, the ‘veggie burger’ wasn’t even veggie friendly! There was a slice of cheese in the burger that contained rennet. Animal rennet! This annoyed the hell out of me and made me wonder what else was being sold as a meat free option but actually contained hidden animal products
The cheese has since been removed from the burger, but still….
That’s a real trap for vegetarians – hidden animal products in a lot of soups and desserts too
