new veggie/vegan burgers

Slaphead07 · 03-05-2018 04:43PM #1

Iceland are selling "No Bull" burgers which are vegan and gluten free. They are also delicious but they are very close to meat in texture and taste so maybe not for everyone. At €2.50 for two quarter pounders they're not bad value either.

Just bought them today at the new Iceland in Portlaoise; I plan to keep them in the freezer and eye them suspiciously every time I open the drawer until I have prepared myself mentally to try them.

They're really lovely, the meatiness doesn't bother me at all. They remind me of the old long gone Tesco or Dunne's own brand veggie burgers but turned up a notch!

They would be very nice in a big whopping burger with all the trimmings, alone they really taste nice but I get that soy taste, that would be masked with delicious toppings.

Onion or ketchup does it... or garlic mayo.

These things taste better and better now that I've had them more and cooked them better. Mmm!

These are really delicious, thanks for the recommendation!

These really surprised me, will be buying more!

Btw. What's the story with the Linda McCartney mozzarella burgers? I can't find them anywhere. They only have the sausages. I love these burgers

Lol. I was just about to ask how they compare to the Linda McCartney mozzarella burgers.

I can't find them anywhere in the main supermarkets. I've just contacted Linda McCartney website to ask why.

I haven't had those in years but I much prefer these Iceland burgers.

I haven't had those since diagnosed Coeliac but the LMcC ones had a weird after taste but were certainly "meaty". I'd far prefer the No Bull ones but that's 100% personal taste.

I picked up a beetroot burger in Dunnes during the week. Gonna have it tonight (made by ‘Gosh’ I think)

I wish there were more Iceland stores here. I'm really curious to taste these now! I just might have to make a trip to Finglas and check them out.

I eat meat, gf doesn't so that was the appeal of getting these - she tried but actually doesn't like them because they are too meaty, but I've found myself going back to buy more a couple of times :pac:

I'm the same. I eat meat, but very little and trying to cut down, so am happy to have something that has a taste and texture of meat.

Haha, that's gas. We've been buying loads of these still, few packs at a time. Can't resist if going by iceland.

I tried one of those, but a different one, could have been chickpea.

I found it mushy and bland, the very worst form of vege burger.

We don't have Iceland down here, and I have yet to make a homemade burger that I liked.

Pity, Quay Coop have any burgers you can buy? These guys also deliver their products: https://www.moodleymanor.com/

I mostly like "meaty" burgers, but blackbean ones are pretty nice too.

Beetroot one is nice with a bit of vegan coleslaw.

There's a new Iceland on the Douglas Road, where Spar used to be beside the Briar Rose.

I've tried their Mixed seed, Quinoa, carrot and coriander bakes and didn't care for it. Really wierd taste. It says it's suitable for vegans but I don't think it's suitable for anyone tbh.

Not store bought but Supermacs has introduced a really tasty veggie burger just recently. I got it in the Galway Plaza on the motorway but I presume everywhere has them. It costs €4.95 in a multigrain bap and you get a choice of sauces. Was actually quite surprised how good it is.

I tried the mushroom Gosh burger....not alot of flavour and the texture was very mushy!!

Not a fan of those Linda Mozarella burgers, back to no bull!

KingNerolives · 07-06-2018 11:50AM

Are there any that aren't high on the salt content?

Checked there yesterday, they have the no bull burgers and the usual Linda McCartney and Quorn bits, there's also a Greggs freezer with some vegetarian pies and tha', none of those are vegan though.
