Bypass or Buy - Vegafit Veggie Burgers

One of the things I miss about Canada is the veggie burgers. As I've mentioned before, the ones you order at restaurants are almost always mashed potato like with crispy coatings and they don't give me that same satisfaction that a beyond meat burger would give me. It almost feels sacrilegious to smother them with condiments like ketchup, mayo, or pickles, so I'm always on the lookout for good quality burgers I can enjoy at the hostel.

Vegafit's line is pretty impressive with burgers, steaks, schnitzels, and nuggets among some of the products available. When I spotted these burgers, I was eager to try them because they were more reminiscent of what a veggie burger is supposed to look like to me. I had high hopes for these patties and also intended to use this experience to determine whether I should reach for the rest of the line the next time I was out shopping.

They're super easy to cook, just a few minutes on each side until brown and nicely crisped. I set them up with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, and spicy cheddar and dove in. They're pretty delicious I must admit, they definitely gave me the veggie burger vibe I've been missing in this country. They crisped up nice on the outside but didn't dry out which was great. They had great flavour and held together throughout the entire burger eating process. I also loved how they looked with their ridges and crispy fried appearance. I was definitely impressed.

BYPASS or BUY - BUY! If you're looking for a burger experience that actually satisfies that veggie burger craving, these are the burgers for you. They were flavourful, crispy, and really held up against all of my toppings. One thing I must remind you all is to be mindful of your bun to burger ratio. The patties are a little bit thin so you must be mindful when choosing buns. If your bun is too big, the patty will definitely get lost creating a dry and less impressive experience. Overall, wonderful product and I can't wait to try the rest of their line!

​HAPPY VEG
