A veggie burger even Memorial Day meat eaters will love [no]
Associated Press ^ | May 28, 2023 | Christopher Kimball

While meat lovers look forward to a Memorial Day barbecue, many people might be looking for a vegetarian option.

With their high protein content, black beans lend meaty substance to veggie burgers. Too often, though, the patties turn to mush. So for this recipe from our book “Cook What You Have,” which draws on pantry staples to assemble easy, weeknight meals, we went looking for ways to improve their texture. The answer was three-fold.

First, we only mash the beans coarsely so that when combined with other ingredients, we’re not left with a smooth paste. Second, we incorporate a significant amount of quinoa — two-thirds of a cup to one 15½-ounce can of beans — to vary texture with little pops of the nutty, high-protein grain (though technically it’s a seed). And finally, we pan-fry the patties until browned and crisp.

To ensure they don’t fall apart, we don’t rinse the beans; the starchy liquid clinging to them helps bind the mixture. We also add egg and panko breadcrumbs, and chilling the formed patties in the refrigerator for 15 minutes firmed them up for easier flipping in the hot skillet.

Flavored with scallions, cumin and paprika, these vegetarian burgers are terrific sandwiched between buns with your favorite fixings. But they’re also satisfying on their own with a tossed green salad. …

Veggies go on the burgers. Onions, lettuce, green chile, tomato, and pickles. Oh, and mustard is just pasty veggies, too.

All protein is not created equal.
Vegetable protein does not contain the same essential amino acids as animal protein.

Vegetarian burger is a contradiction in definitions. I won’t eat bugs. And the veggies I eat look like veggies not ersatz meat. Let Michelle Obama eat a load of beans instead of her usual couple of pounds of waygu beef washed down with a lobster or two.

Very clever Twilight Zone episode.

Think about it, though. If you have the technology to cross the universe, couldn’t you find better ways of feeding yourself?

ASS-ociated Press is providing free marketing alongside ideological "nudging."

If the new term, "Nazi-adjacent" is actually a thing, then this stance is Hitler-the-Vegetarian-adjacent.

Ray Bradbury once observed of science fiction that it was never actually about aliens, but about the stories well tell about ourselves dressed in costumes to get the stories repeated.

"To serve man" is in fact the message all those "public servants" and authoritarian thinkers and activists say they are doing. To "serve" us.

When, of course they are not saving the earth, the whales and such. And their beach houses in Martha's Vineyard, and Hawaii and so on. "To serve man" is quite the same as "I'm from the government, here to help...." Yum.
