Morningstar Grillers Prime - A Favorite Thing

The search for the perfect (or at least acceptable) veggie burger is one fraught with, well, bad tastes and freakish textures. I've experimented with making my own and, although they tasted alright, they weren't burger-like.

I've tried Dr. Praeger's California burgers and found them, like my own, not horrible but bearing no resemblance to a burger. Boca burgers are the easiest for me to find and I've eaten a lot of them but they aren't exactly right either. Finally I stumbled upon Morningstar's Grillers Prime (strange name, why don't they call them Prime Grillers?) and find they fill the bill admirably. They have a good flavor and a good texture. I usually eat them on an Orowheat Sandwich Thin roll with some spinach and homemade mayonnaise.

I don't eat a lot of processed foods, much preferring to cook, but sometimes I need a quick meal and these burgers, which take about 6 minutes to cook, make a tasty meal. I also eat very little meat but sometimes I have a craving and these seems to fill it.

A box of Morningstar Grillers Prime contains four burgers and I can usually get them at the local Food Lion for $3.00 a box. Not nearly as cheap as making your own but, at 0.75 a piece, not nearly as expensive as a run to the local fast food joint for a burger.

I'd love to know what veggie burgers you've tried and which ones you liked (if any!).

I'm using my Saturday slot to share with you some things I really like. These are not going to be solicited reviews and I don't have a giveaway. It's just stuff I like, use and want to tell you about.
