...and the whole place went silent. It was at a Burger King in the small, rural town of Talladega, Alabama (better known for "The SuperSpeedway" - Nascar). They informed me that it would "be awhile" as they apparently don't sell many of them. Plus, I ordered it with cheese. The customers stopped munching on their Whoppers and new Chicken Whoppers to see who this outsider was ordering a new age burger. I felt like I had made a cultural mistake.
I am not a vegetarian, but I sometimes enjoy vegetarian meat-substitutes such as falafel and portobella mushroom. I merely wanted to try the BK Veggie. It was okay. The consistency was like that of ground beef, but lighter. They loaded it with mayonnaise like on a Whopper, though I would have preferred the mustard and ketchup that is famous on their regular burgers. The taste, however, was more like a portabello mushroom sandwich I once had at an art museum cafe. This was understandable since it consists of a mushroom-based vegetable mixture.
At the end of my meal, which also consisted of Coke and a medium order of fries, I was feeling empty. The BK Veggie didn't have the impact of a Whopper or even my usual cheeseburger. Out of desperation, after re-filling my Coke, I went to the counter and ordered a Hershey's Sundae Pie and ran out of the restaurant eating it. If I had simply ordered a cheeseburger to begin with, the pie would have been unnecessary.
