We have 7 more days of Veganuary.
We have tried so many new recipes and have a freezer full of plant based products. We’ve even ordered food from a gastro delivery service – all vegan. I discovered the likes of Hellman’s vegan mayonnaise which I love because its more vinegary. Quorn ‘chicken nuggets’ are a wow. Vegan cheese is not a wow 🤢. We had a plethora of food to choose from but nothing came close the the regular burger from your local drive through. (I can’t believe I’m actually writing this because I usually deny any association with these places or the food).
So, with the masses doing Veganuary, the drive though’s jumped on the wagon and offered a meat free burger. How could we resist? We were straight in there and ordered our first Rebel Whopper Meat Free burger. (And fries and the obligatory drink, all large of course!) Oh My!!! It was sensational. I felt like I was actually eating a proper flame grilled burger. Even the texture emulated a regular burger. My partner and I sat there grinning at each other like 2 children eating their first taste of heaven. We were satiated and it was bliss.
Veganuary has been and gone and from the 1st of February we ate meat again, despite our numerous conversations of continuing to be vegan after the 31st January. (I’m not sure why we thought we would continue being a vegan because once we had a taste of meat, we rather annoyingly switched over to a carnivore diet without hesitation…..) So, the question is, would I have the Rebel Whopper meat free burger now I’m not practising veganism? Of course! The Rebel Whopper is king of the meat free burgers.
I should mention that whilst all the ingredients of the Rebel Whopper were vegan, the Burger itself was cooked alongside regular burgers and on the same Grill. Oh Gosh, perhaps that’s why it tasted so good! 😉
