Vegetarian Food Gone Wrong

July 28, 2009 Diana Kuan

In light of my upcoming move back to the US, I have been digging through old photos from the past year that have not made it on to the blog. Not surprisingly, almost all are still food related.

Like this burger. We found it at a Buddhist vegetarian restaurant last summer in Beijing, near the Lama Temple. On the menu it was called a "Taiwan burger". None of us, including my globetrotting vegan friend Seb, had ever heard of such a thing. We figured there would be some sort of tofu or seitan involved. Even if you can't use meat, garlic, or onions, an edible burger is still possible.

Not here. True, there are worse things in life than a mouthful of Cool Whip and lettuce. I just can't think of any at the moment.
