The local health food store makes a very good vegan burger (it would be
a *lot* better with real cheese on it instead of that soy crap), and
it's made with oats and pecan meal rather than beans. They don't sell
bulk pecan meal, otherwise I would try to duplicate it. Pecans are too
expensive to grind up broken halves and pieces, but the meal is a waste
byproduct of the pecan shelling industry and is pretty cheap if you can
find it.
