Trader Joe's Organic Tofu Veggie Burger Review

I just didn't have it in me to make an elaborate meal this evening. Plus, I was starving and I am a total bat crazy witch when I am starving. Remembering that I had bought veggie burgers from Trader Joe's was the perfect solution!



I fried it up in the skillet with a little coconut oil, sautéed some red onion, put it on a bed of lettuce, topped it off with some pepperoncinis and went to town.



The first bite was pretty impressive. It had a nice flavor and the red onion complemented it. The flavor is like The Original Gardenburger, but by the second bite the texture was starting to get to me. The outside was firm and crispy. However, the second you bite into it it crumbles into a couscous consistency that was very unappealing. And the fact that it was made out of tofu and not couscous grossed me out even more. By the fourth bite I was done and threw the rest out. If I hadn't been so damn hungry I would have chucked it in the trash after the second bite.
