You probably don’t know how to do the above but I do. I’m a lifelong vegetarian with plenty of cooking experience.

Hi M-R, amongst the more than 4,088,192 viewers up until Nov, 2022 there were needless to say many suggestions from the myriad of viewers who had actually since made the recipe.
Several mentioned a small problem when flipping but rather than any flour or thickener general consensus was to simply put the mixture in the refrigerator for from 30 minutes to about an hour - problem solved and without any added clag.
Another query by several was “why waste time chopping” when the ingredients were then to go into the blender anyway. Well the answer makes for very good sense if you think about it and the presenter also follows up with additional recommendations to avoid mush. But I’ll let you read up on that.
And of course there were various suggestions offered such as an Indian slant on the recipe etc.
The main thing is this recipe offers an excellent “baseline” and like all recipes we have our own “enhancement” ideas which some will love & others will… well lets just say that we are all different & at different times. THANKFULLY !

A veggie Burger is enough to make anyone Flip!
I prefer the way cows process vegetable matter into delicious meat rather than have to buy vegetables myself. The same applies to pigs, sheep, goats, kangaroos etc they do all the hard work for you.
Mr Wikipedia says…
“Vegetables are parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. The original meaning is still commonly used and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including the flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds.”
So without these vegetables there would be NO “pigs, sheep, goats, kangaroos etc” to do ANY of this processing so they would not even exist.
Motto? Be very thankful for veggies.

I thought I was, I’d rather the animals eat it so I don’t have to.
maybe a little slice of pickled gherkin in your kangaroo burger sir.

I always have a jar of these in the pantry, I love 'em
No, because all that I have picked up to read about all contain permitted flavourings and MSG is a legally permitted flavouring.
I used to buy them but now only if I see them reduced, after discovering how easy they are to make with healthier ingredients , no additives and so much cheaper.
I usually use potatoes or sweet potatoes as the stodgy bit and then add the veg, lentils, beans etc

I bought two different types from Waitrose the other day, and neither mention MSG or the “flavouring” word.
GoVeggie: Aubergine & Feta
Plantliving: Tofu & Edamame
Anyway, I was rather hoping you’d make your own and share your recipe.

I would like to think you would be healthy without vegetables, but I don’t think that is so.
I love veggie burgers! The Spicy black bean is my favorite! Served with a slice of American cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato and a slice of onion…mmmmummmm.

OMG !!! VEGETABLES in Bruce’s pantry !!! 
Oh ? 
I guess they must be to feed his “pigs, sheep, goats, kangaroos etc” because he already stated in reply to my “Be very thankful for veggies.” as follows…
“I thought I was, I’d rather the animals eat it so I don’t have to.”
But there again he chose to also selectively ignore my …
" So without these vegetables there would be NO “pigs, sheep, goats, kangaroos etc” to do ANY of this processing so they would not even exist.
So Bruce … is it time to come out of the closet and tell us what you truly do eat or should we not believe any of it & just mark it up as just one big fib.??? 
’
In another area we were discussing “SOYLENT GREEN” You aren’t secretly living on that I fear? 
And no more fibs now - we will understand if so & you will have the sympathy of us all …
Others above I’m certain would take pity & be prepared to share with you some of their veggies - anything rather than Soylent Green even though it would mean you missing out on that “meat fix” you appear to crave. 
.
P.S. for those unfamiliar “Soylent Green” was “food” for humans in a science fiction movie where the Soylent Green was actually made outside the walls of a future city and let’s just say that when you left this planet you became part of the ultimate recycling and returned to … well… I wouldn’t recommend eating soylent green - ever.
.
Those pickled things look disgusting 
I think they are supposed to resemble kanga foetuses.
I never see Morning Star products in the shops anymore.
It’s a shame because the Morning Star vegan bacon was the best. I’ve tried many brands since but none of them have managed the authentic taste and texture that Morning Star did.

That’s even more 
It’s been a while since I’ve eaten a veggie burger. I used to eat them a lot. Mostly the commercial ones. There was also a takeout place that had a black bean burger that was yummy.
I’ve eaten the Morningstar ones. I agree with RightNow that the black beans ones were good. I also ate Boca burgers. They were more meat-like and had a smokey flavor. I liked them less.
I ate a bunch of different flavors of Amy’s Kitchen veggie burgers. Those were good.
I also ate eggplant (aubergine) patties that were breaded and baked.
I’ve heard good things about Beyond Meat. I haven’t gotten around to trying it.
