What is up with vegetarian bacon? I just can’t get my head around the idea. Fakin bacon just isn’t that cool. Vegie burgers on the other hand are the real deal, and the possibilities are endless. This little number is subtly spiced and served up with some refreshing yoghurt sauce and sweet mango chutney. The best thing is that it’s packed with goodness so you might as well have those fries on the side!
