Vegetarian burgers

[jkmmah]

Does anyone know what brand of vegetarian burgers Carnival uses? Morningstar Farms? Boca? Gardenburger?

 

Thanks!

I don't, but I'd also like to know the answer to that one! :)

They are more GardenBurger-y. But they grill them so they are more crunchy and less mushy.

 

 

Definitely not Morningstar Farms or Boca.

 

Those of you who know your veggie burgers know exactly what I'm talking about...

Gardenburger - not Vegan

Boca - Vegan

Morningstar Farms - not Vegan

Gardenburger - not Vegan

Boca - Vegan

Morningstar Farms - not Vegan

 

Morningstar Farms definitely makes a vegan burger. I don't believe their basic burgers ("Grillers") are vegan, but they have a variety of products. Gardenburger also has a variety, but I don't know if any of them are vegan...

I read that Boca Burgers are now available on Carnival Cruises (Triumph?).

Anyone know if this is true and if they are available at any place that serves burger?

 

Happy sailing!:)

FYI for the veggie cruisers- Most of Carnival's soups (except for the fruit ones) are made with a chicken broth base. Even the vegetable soups (cream of mushroom, etc.) I always ask before ordering. Better safe than sorry! :eek:

I will never understand why one needs chicken stock in a cream based soup(ex Panera's cream of broccoli..) Really?? Why??

I don't know the answer to the "chicken broth in everything" question either but I'd love to know. The chef of the cafeteria where I work INSISTS on putting chicken broth in absolutely everything. Once every two weeks they serve vegetarian vegetable soup as the daily soup, the other 13 soups are all non-vegetarian even though half of them could EASILY be made so.

 

Haven't these people heard of vegetable stock?

Yes - and by the same token, I don't understand why one needs to put cream into a risotto!! A properly made risotto shoudl come out very creamy without the addition of any cream!

Okay - I can tell you why chicken is usually the stock of choice in a cream soup (and they are not cream based, but cream finished soups).

 

Vegetable stock can definitely be used in place of chicken stock when making a cream (finished) soup like Cream of Brocolli or Cream of Potato but for a large commercial kitchen it's a lot easier - and really a lot cheaper - to make large batches of chicken stock. And, if they don't make their own stock, pre-made good qualitychicken stock or chicken base is a readily available commodity - unlike vegetable stock.

 

I know it's not what you want to hear - and I can commiserate - as a vegetarian who's also allergic to dairy.
