| | Burger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A burger or "burger sandwich" is a type of sandwich which consists of a hamburger bun or similar type of round bread, and a primary filling of a meat or vegetarian patty. | | | A burger may be served on a plate to be eaten without bread, using a knife and fork, often accompianied by chips and baked beans. | | | These might include any combination of cheese (a cheeseburger is not a burger made primarily from cheese, but rather a hamburger with a slice of cheese in it), vegetables (lettuce, tomato, onion, pepper, pickles) and sauces (mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, etc.) |

| | Meatless Burgers - No cows died during the writing of this article. By Eliza Truitt |
| | Restaurants in my area serve ostrich and buffalo burgers, which taste pretty much as good as real hamburgers (the ostrich is not quite as beef-like, but it's very good; the buffalo is basically indistinguishable from hamburger except it has more flavor than most)--and they're 97% fat free and have no cholesterol. | | | This was similar to the California Veggie Burger but was much improved by a heavy dose of cheddar cheese. | | | There's one vegan variety made by veggie burger Über-brand Gardenburger, but it was bland, and strangely enough it hadn't completely shaken the shackles of hamburgerdom (brownish color, uniform texture, meatlike spices). |

| | Burger King adds veggie burger, reduced-fat mayo to menu - Mar. 14, 2002 |
| | The 330-calorie veggie burger, which goes on sale Monday at a recommended price of $1.99, includes a patty made of vegetables, grains and spices, the same four-inch sesame-seed bun used for the chain's hamburgers, shredded lettuce, two tomato slices and 3/8 of an ounce of reduced-fat mayonnaise. | | | The company is casting the veggie burger in the light of the new advertising it launched on March 4, which is, "BK, YOU GOT IT!" The new slogan, along with 13 new or enhanced products, have been introduced to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Whopper sandwich. | | | Burger King competitor McDonald's (MCD: Research, Estimates) began selling vegetable burgers in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and India in the early 1990s and in some U.S. stores in 1998. |

| | Burger King Uncowed |
| | A BK Veggie is produced with ingredients originating in disparate locations: The onions might come from Iowa, the smoke flavoring from New Jersey and the jalapeño powder from Mexico. | | | True, the ecological footprint of a BK Veggie is appreciably lighter than that left by one of the chain’s highly resource-consumptive meat sandwiches. | | | Froot Loops, Pepsi and Burger King’s own French fries, for that matter, are also free of animal products, but few health advocates would seriously recommend consuming these foods as part of a well-balanced meal plan. |

| | The BK Veggie, created by supplier Morningstar Farms, includes a patty made of vegetables, grains and spices, which is topped with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and then sandwiched between the halves of a sesame seed bun. | | | With their emphasis on beef and chicken sandwiches, fast-food restaurants have not exactly catered to America's vegetarians whose idea of having it their way would not include the main ingredient in those entrees. | | | The sandwich, obviously, is not vegan given its egg-based mayonnaise and its bun which contains natural and artificial butter flavoring. |

| | While the patty is meatless, vegetarians should consider the mayo, the fact that the burgers are cooked on the same grill as beef burgers and that the bun has a small amount of butter flavor. | | | Ultimately the veggie burger ($1.99), like BK's no-beef-tallow fries or Taco Bell's bean burritos, means some vegetarians can be citizens of our fast food nation too. | | | While many vegetarian patties taste more of brown rice, beans, sprouts, soy or other healthful but bland substances, you can taste and often see the carrot, green peppers and celery in the patties. |

| | For supermarkets this survey reinforces that the 'veggie' meat replacement category is a strong one with lots of interest and trial from consumers. | | | For those supermarkets that have fast food operations within their footprint having a 'veggie burger' on the menu could well attract new customers...and don't forget to include the kids' size. | | | Bottom line is that although not many people have yet tried the new menu item - indications are that the product will bring new customers into Burger King; in particular the Baby Boomers and older GenXers who have deserted fast-food in recent years. |
