Borough Market Strikes Back and Burger Wars Episode VIII: The Veggie Clone

As usual I went to borough Market in a Saturday to have lunch. Without hesitation I went immediately for the toasted cheese sandwich of Kappacasein. I can’t have enough of their Montgomery cheddar, onions, leeks and garlic on poilane sourdough, this time I almost ate two of them.

Kappacasein Toasted Cheese Sandwich

For my second option I decided to try the veggie burger of The Veggie Table.  They have basically two options, one named the organic superveg made with organic vegetables, quinoa, nuts, sultanas and cumin, and the heavenly halloumi which is halloumi cheese, carrots, courgettes, fresh mint and coriander. So I chose the halloumi one.


The Veggie Table


The verdict, good taste, organic ingredients, but as a meat eater I prefer beef in the equation.

The damage, 4 quids, no fries, no drinks, no meat.

The conclusion, good option if you’re vegetarian, vegan, or you’re planning a detox day and don’t want to eat meat, as my case it was good Friday so I was abstained from eating meat. I will give them a 4,5 in my ranking, and considering in a market food environment it’s a 6,5.


Heavenly Halloumi Burger


This entire vegetarian episode is just like when Elaine is in a party fighting with a girl over a fur coat in “The Stranded” episode.


Elaine: Hey, is that real fur?
Jerry: Oh boy.
Eva: It better be or my ex-husband owes me an explanation.
George: Yeah, good night.
Elaine: You don't care that innocent defenseless animals are being tortured so that you can look good?
George: Could we talk about this some other time?
Ava: Are you a vegetarian?
Jerry: Here we go.
Elaine: Yeah, I eat fish occasionally.
Ava: So you're a hypocrite.
George: Hey, I've eaten frogs, so nobody's perfect. Anyway…
Ava: Well, talk to me when you stop eating fish.
Elaine: Fish don't feel any pain.
Ava: How do you know? Do you communicate with fish?
Elaine: Well, they're not kept in little cages.
Ava: Ever seen a goldfish?
George: Goldfish.
Elaine: Yeah, yeah I've seen goldfish. They're not unhappy.
Ava: Oh yeah, right. Swim around in a bowl for two weeks and get flushed down the toilet, that's a good life. Let's go.
Elaine: Oh yeah, that's right. Go ahead, go ahead, maybe you can run over a squirrel!
