(Click for bigger pic)Today's vegetarian lunch: A veggie burger with Stacy's Parmesan, Garlic and Herb Pita chips (baked, not deep fried) on the side, and Killian's Irish Red beer.
My burger is made of: Lightly toasted onion buns. A layer of hummus on the bottom of the bun, followed by a layer of dill relish, a Morningstar Farms Mushroom Lover's burger (defreeze in microwave, heat on the stove in a flat pan) next, then a layer of Tillamook pepper jack cheese, a little bit of Dijon mustard, finally topped with Pace Chunky Salsa. All ingredients came out of packages, but the burger itself was assembled at my home.
Vegetarian alert: The pita chips had parmesan cheese. The usual warning about cheese and rennet applies. The Tillamook pepper jack cheese is not made of traditional animal-based rennet as per the factory's cheese FAQ. Woohoo! The mushroom burger has egg whites listed as one of the ingredients. I think the bun does not contain eggs in it, but who knows! I am pretty sure the Killian's Irish red beer has no animal products in it (unless some trace quantities of bugs were accidentally added in the manufacturing process! Heh-heh!).
Background: Vegetarian Lunch in America.

Have you tried Ethiopian food?
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty good option for vegetarians/vegans.
Yes! I really like Ethiopian food. Wish there was an Ethiopian restaurant close to my office!

Who gets to have beer at lunch?
ReplyDeleteWho gets to have beer for lunch? The one who is offered it, during a Saturday's lunch... that's who!
