I'd be interested to see confirmation on this. The BK veggie burger is
(was?) a good choice if you had to eat at a fast food place that
serves a lot of meaty stuff, for instance if your friends were all
going to Burger King and you came along.

IIRC the BK veggie patty was made with mushrooms and water chestnuts
and other ingredients that set it apart from patties served by other
fast food type places (such as Subway) that are basically soy protein
and a little other stuff glued together with egg white.
