Does the veggie burger in your town fit inside a bun and stay inside the bun or does it fall apart immediately when you start eating it?

I’ve had thousands of veggie burgers and most lack stability unfortunately

I’ve had the same problem with most veggie burgers, but found a recipe years ago that really holds up. It’s a Jamaican Ital recipe: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2005/05/26/bean-burgers-jamaica...

Coincidentally I just got back from Jamaica a few days ago, and as a vegetarian I always try to find the Rasta spot as soon as I can as they’re usually the ones with the best veg food. I was thinking of these burgers and now here we are — I guess I should make a batch this weekend!

Link says not avaliable in my region. Any chance you could post the recipe here?

Says I'm blocked. Thanks for trying though.

Where in the world are you?

South America. Lots gets blocked here. Even Home Depot for example. Security I guess. If you don't have customers in the region, why expose yourself?

I admit it isn't the most stable, but it was manageable. And the taste made up for it.

I think I would have quit after the first couple. Don’t need thousands of examples to figure out it isn’t working.

I usually wound up eating them with a knife and fork but still often the best vegetarian thing I could find to eat when I was traveling.
