It beats the snot out of most black bean burgers.

Ain't nuthin' wrong with vegetarianism. Ain't nuthin' wrong with veganism. It's when you start eating meat in effigy that shit goes south. Field Roast, Tofurky, Quorn, whatever - it's not meat, will never be meat, and will only ever remind you of how bleak your non-meat existence shall be so long as you still crave meat.

Black beans are not burgers. Black beans are legumes. Eat them on rice and they are delicious. At my wife's school they always made brownies out of black beans and they're fucking disgusting. I never understood that, either - it's not like chocolate and wheat need a pass through the slaughterhouse. But so long as you're normalizing your idolization around misappropriated foodstuffs fuck yeah let's turn black beans into dessert.

I like gardenburgers. I eat them for breakfast with a slice of velveeta sometimes. Even better, cheese and an egg. When I'm feeling really saucy I'll top them with cheese, egg and bacon. Put 'em between buns, though, and you're never gonna be satisfied with the outcome.

I do believe I'm the single person to have had a good experience with these things.
