Anyone that knows me knows that, before I went veggie, I absolutely loved a beef burger. A Burger King Whopper with cheese was my weapon of choice, and I was quite panicked I wouldn’t get the same level of satisfaction from a meat free burger. Well, I’m happy to report that I was wrong! I’ve reviewed 5 veggie burgers and given my ratings below.

Tesco Onion Bhaji Burgers, £1.50 for two. Vegan? Yes

I absolutely love onion bhajis so I was super excited about these. Unfortunately, they just didn’t live up to my hype. I can be massively put off by texture and for me, these were too mushy and also didn’t have the onion crunch you get from a bhaji. They’re also quite expensive compared to other burgers I’ve had. I think next time I’ll just buy the real Indian snack fave and put it in a bun! 2/5

Sainsburys Meat Free Burgers, £1.50 for eight. Vegan? Yes

I was pretty happy when I found these, as you get so many for the price. However, they have a pretty overwhelming onion flavour, so I’m not sure they’re the ones. They’re much more palatable in buns with ketchup and mustard, so I think that’s the only way I’d eat them.  3.5/5

Aldi Spicy Bean Quarter Pounders, £1.25 for four. Vegan? Yes

I’ll own up, I was eating these before deciding to stop eating meat. Theyre just the right amount of spicy (I’m a wuss), and are good firm burgers. They’re delish on their own or in a bun, and are really nice with salsa. Big fan, and they’re super cheap too! I absolutely love Aldi so I hope they introduce some more veggie/vegan options soon. 4/5

Tesco Meat Free Meat Style Burgers, £1.75 for eight. Vegan? No

You know those days when you just need junk food? If you really crave a shit burger, pardon my French, these are for you. Unfortunately they’re not vegan so not everyone can enjoy them and eventually I won’t be able to, but I got such a pleasant surprise when I ate them. The quest will have to continue to find ones this good/crap that are vegan too! 5/5

Sainsbury’s Indian Style Lentil Quarter Pounders, £1.50 for four. Vegan? Yes

These are everything I was hoping the bhaji burgers would be and more. Love the Indian tastes (again, not too spicy for a wimp like me!) and the texture is ace. I had one in a pitta with salad and it was a taste sensation. Would definitely recommend to everyone, what a bloody lovely burger! 5/5
