What does a vegetarian order at Burger King? Burger King has had the slogan "Have It Your Way" since the '70s. But what if having it "your way" means having no meat. Can you still order a burger? Absolutely.
In 2004, Burger King partnered with my friends at Morningstar Farms to create the BK Veggie. You guessed it. It's a veggie burger. To the best of my knowledge, Burger King is the only major fast food chain to feature a veggie burger.
My family and I walked into the Burger King and in my head I said, "I have a bad feeling about this." I felt like I was being bombarded with photos and ads for Whoppers and steakhouse burgers, which both sounded really good 13 days into this experiment. But, we were already there.
It felt really odd ordering a veggie burger at the home of the Whopper. I think I even kind of mumbled when I ordered.
I noticed the wrapper for the BK Veggie had an image of two buns with a letter "v" where the beef patty should be. This image was checked to let me and anyone else know that this indeed was the veggie burger.
When I unvielled the burger, I knew that it wasn't fooling anyone. There's no way it looked like anything but a veggie burger. But how would it taste?
Well, I'll spare you the analysis of how it tasted.
Just know that it wasn't good.
- What did I eat on Day 13?
Breakfast. Banana bread. So good. And we're almost finished with all those ripe bananas we received a couple days ago.
Lunch. Lots of the leftover carrot slaw with Club crackers. Tasty!
Dinner. The BK Veggie and Apple Fries.
Just as I predicted, this was a relatively short post today. And that's okay.13 days down. 27 days to go.

Are you sure this blog isn't sponsored by Morningstar Farms?? Maybe you should pitch it to them!
ReplyDeleteClark, I probably should! But then again, for every good review of their food there's a very bad one...
