A yucky fast food veggie burger

My friend wanted to go to Burger King while we were out today. I'm not a huge fast food fan, but it had been quite awhile since I had been to one, so I agreed to it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they offer a BK Veggie Burger (made by Morningstar Farms) on their menu!

Just for kicks, and as someone who is not a vegetarian but is rather experimenting in the vegetarian lifestyle (find out why over at my yoga blog), I decided to give it a try. I haven't met a veggie burger that I just love, so I had it piled high with lettuce, ketchup, tomatoes and pickles to help cover up the flavor.

Doesn't look so bad, as far as fast food goes...

I HATED it.

Apparently no amount of condiments and veggies could cover up the flavor. Maybe it's just me, but veggie burgers, made mostly with mushroom filler, are just plain nasty. For like an hour afterwards I was trying to get the taste out of my mouth!

Oh well, I have had some tasty successes so far, so one failure does not discourage me!

Anyone had a veggie burger that didn't taste like a giant slab of fungus?
