I love the rich, nutty flavor of these delicious burgers. I don't think of them as an alternative to meat, but a tasty patty standing on it's own merits. It's delicious served with a creamy, mushroom sauce.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think they would be perfect for someone who likes a little bit of heat.

I wasn't a big fan of these burgers. The flavor was just okay and they were a bit too mushy for my liking.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more moisture next time, maybe by adding some grated vegetables or using a different type of breadcrumb.
