Burger King is rolling out a meatless Whopper. Can McDonald’s be far behind?

We moved to Spain 3 years ago but don’t have to fear missing America because we have a McDonald’s in our town. We walk past it several times a week because it is right next to where we do our food shopping. We have been inside once to use the bathroom.

The ink tends to stain the customers clothes.

It was beef. The seaweed protein was a filler.

It’s very difficult to eat healthy in this country when you’re on the road and hungry.

Burger King already has a meatless burger. I think it’s soy. It’s bland, but not real filling, in a good sense, and it’s high in protein.

If the bun were made from potato or rice, then you’ve got something relatively healthy.

BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE EATING AT DRIVE INNS ARE WAAAAAY OVER WEIGHT, AND THIS MEATLESS THING, UNLESS THEY REALLY PROMOTE IT, WON’T FLY.

From Dominos Japan.

Meaty snow crab and juicy shrimp make this an essential pizza for seafood lovers. Juicy cherry tomatoes and plenty of Parmesan add to the pizza’s rich flavor. (May contain shells and bones.)

M¥2,800 (plus tax)
L¥3,900 (plus tax)

I’m not a seafood lover per se. I just think the only thing I find of interest in sea creatures is the tastiness of their formerly living selves. They don’t make good pets, in other words.

:: Burger King...now plans to roll out a vegetarian version of its signature sandwich ::

This will go as well as their SALADS.

The only reasons salads are on the menu is so that when the same lawyers who finagled a $245 billion settlement out of the tobacco industry come for the fast food giants, BK and McD's can argue that they offered healthy choices.

Most of these salads get chucked in the trash at the end of the day.

New Coke was huge success. Increased their market share by 2%. They made a fortune.

That’s why they can charge a buck more for something posing as something folks detest and get them folks to ante-up so they can enjoy that which they despise....

At a lunch with some customers, the guys were all talking about how they needed to cut back the calories and ordered salads. I told them that I checked the calorie listing on the menu. My cheesesteak and fries had less calories than their salads.

Interesting... can you tell us how much they go for? I bet quite a bit once you convert over to US$.

This PDF is for the Mos Burger franchise.
Generally, 100 yen = 1.00 USD.
I really like the rice burgers. About $3.50 each. Their size is like a regular small McD’s hamburger.

With all the vegans out there, perhaps 2% of their current customers, they’ll sell some but they better stay frozen.

As long as the sales are worth the added equipment and supplies needed.

Yep, putting them on the animal fat greasy conveyor burner seems like it defeats the purpose. These folks are picky and will demand a separate burner to keep the animal fat off their cardboard burger.r

I’d actually go for that. It would be kind of rubbery and bland, like squid itself, but that’s OK. Squid’s not bad.
