===The product===
These are a crispy coated burger containing a blended mix of vegetables in a batter to hold it together. It's even possible to identify some of the actual vegetables - there appear to be sweetcorn, peas, and several kinds of root vegetables in it.
They can be cooked by grilling, baking, frying, BBQing and take about 20-25 minutes to cook. I have cooked them in a microwave, but it's very easy to make them go soggy or dried out that way, so it i...more

Grassington's vegetable quarter pounders are a convenient ready meal for vegetarians. They don't seem to be sold from most of my local supermarkets (presumably because they have their own versions), but the local whole-food supermarket sells them for £2.69 per pack of four.

Even though I'm a student and like things as cheap as possible, I also like my comfort food. Stuff that reminds me of home. And this veggie burgers are one of those things. Sunday lunch with my grandparents was a tradition every Sunday I stayed there ever since they moved to Scarborough. Yorkshire puddings, peas, boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, roast peppers and sliced beef. I'm getting hungry just remembering it! But when I turned vegetarian four years ago, the sliced beef had to go. So my grandparents started searching for a cheap, vegetarian alternative. And this is what they found. At 2 for £3 in the majority of supermarkets, Grassingtons ... Read the complete review
