I'm holding out for McInsect Burger.
Similar to why English has Old English based words for so many of the farm animals but French based words for the meats. The English farmers raised the animals for their French rulers' dinner plates after the Norman conquest.
The pea, rice, and potato mixture mimicked the flavor and texture of its beefy brethren.
this pork chop tastes like a tomato,
this T-bone steak tastes like a stalk of celery,
this chicken wing tastes like an onion.
Cricket burgers next experiment?
My friend’s daughter is a recent biochem grad working at a startup that does one of these fake meat deals. It’s got a bunch of dough from VCs and it’s a pretty good gig. I told her to enjoy it while it lasts.
That actually does not sound that bad. I like peas, rice and potatoes. Not sure it would be appetizing the way a fast food chain would make it but making these patties from scratch at home with fresh ingredients might not be so bad.
Maybe I'd use sweet potato and substitute the rice with cauliflower.
Then I'd slap the patty on top of an 8-oz beef patty, add some swiss cheese and mushrooms and I'll have one healthy burger.
When we fix burgers (real meat) at home, I wrap mine in lettuce instead of using a bun. I can still include cheese, tomato, mayo and onion without the carbs. It tastes great!
I had a coupon for the Impossible Burger when it first came out. I gave it an honest try, but it’s not that good, and certainly not worth as much as a whopper. It needs to go the way of the whopperito...
Fake meat is as tasty as the rubber chicken caterers serve.
I’ll Sometimes get a lettuce wrapped burger from hardees.
I use zero carb tortillias in place of bread.
I didn’t think of that. I will have to try it. Thanks!
If you get the small ones, they are great for chicken salad, pimento cheese, wrapping a sausage, or a hot dog.
You can also put one in an air fryer, a thin coat of cheese followed by another tortillia. Then spray with a little olive oil, pizza sauce, cheese, toppings.
Cook for 3 or 4 minutes.
Pretty good low carb pizza
I will try that one also! I am borderline diabetic but I love bread! One of my favorites is just a good homemade bread (warm) with butter. Mmmmmm. I have cut out alot of foods like crackers, cookies and even buns for my burgers. Thanks for the tips.
I’ve been diabetic for about 7 years now.
And lately it’s been hard to control the sugars. So I’ve had to really cut back the carbs. I’m almost on a carnivore diet.
One caveat, Dr Gundry says that food manufacturers have figured out how to make fiber act like regular carbs. So he says you now have to go by total carbs and not by net carbs.
I don’t know how prevalent that is. I should probably be checking my sugar to see if foods I thought were low net carb are spiking my sugars after every meal. But I don’t.
Exactly, the eat less meat crowd is really not really the fast food demographic.
It’ll be rarer than the AC/DC references with respect to Angus burgers . . .
