Loma Linda Redi-Burger, 19-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) In response to the reviewer who wrote that this product "tastes burned right out of the can, and has a sandy/gritty or mealy texture", that does not sound normal. I've been eating this product for at least 35 years, off and on, and it is never normal for it to feel gritty or sandy. I would return any can that had that texture. This burger does have a finer texture, though, compared to that of Loma Linda Vegeburger or Worthington Vegetarian Burger. <br /> <br />This product has a strong flavor of its own and, in my experience, doesn't do particularly well as an ingredient but stands alone much better. I agree with those reviewers who said to open both ends of the can, push the product out, and slice it off fairly thinly. (I usually chill the can thoroughly before opening it so the slices hold together better.) I fry the slices in a little olive oil or butter until they're crispy on each side, then use them for sandwiches. I like them pretty plain on a multi-grain bread, with mayo and onion, but that's just my own preference. <br /> <br />I admit that this is not my favorite vegetarian burger but, every now and then, it satisfies a craving when nothing else will. Reader Reviews This is a great healthy cruelty free alternative to hamburger. It's easy to prepare. I make hamburger gravy, meatloaf, meatballs and add it to any ground beef recipe. I simply add some oil to a skillet heat the redi-burger and smash it up with a potato masher for a ground beef texture. |
