Mushroom Burger

Delicious Burger! It's tasty and not so heavy. I really enjoy it!

Of all the burgers I've had in my life (including the ones when I ate meat), this one is one of the more superior ones. Las Vegans is a semi-permanent food truck with a few locations across the city (probably the most important one to you is the one right next to Szimpla, the most popular tourist bar). They do lots of different types of burgers - carrot, deep fried 'cheese', soy, chickpea and more, but the one that made me go weak at the knees was the mushroom burger - my God it was good! The only problem is, I had that mushroom burger at their temporary stall at a vegan Budapest festival. Since then I've visited two of their semi-permanent stalls and not found the mushroom burger again :( I have tried their deep fried cheese and carrot burgers too. They're also great, but nothing compared to that mushroom one. [Update: the mushroom one can now be found at their permanent locations!] Side note: in almost every Budapest vegan restaurants, they charge extra for sauces like ketchup, worth bearing in mind if you're getting take away and have ketchup in the fridge at home. I don't mind paying more for ketchup, but it generally comes in a plastic pot which is a waste and should be avoided where possible. We're currently stuck in Hungary (coronavirus situation), hence a short comment from my Hungarian bf Tamás (who hasn't been to Napfényes but has been a resident of that country for 20 years now): here are some things that we are defo gonna write to (+poke) them about: we wonder whether they are a co-op? Unfortunately, co-ops are not very popular in Hungary bc when the Soviets overtook the country, they forcibly nationalized all land and forced all agricultural workers into faux-democtratic and heavily corrupt co-ops... time to establish some real (that is, not top-down, but bottom-up) co-ops in this country! Second question: do they have any organic plant-based meals? We think there would be a market niche for that... like basically anywhere (the legal differentiation of "non-organic" and "organic" produce is basically an euphemism for "poisonous" and "a bit less poisonous"... which is an outrage! All fruit & veg (+any plant-based food) should be organic, everywhere, not just the privilege of wealthy individuals who can afford to buy the more expensive, healthier stuff). BTW: We've recently learnt from a friend that most fruit & veg in Hungary is GMO-free (unless it comes from the US), so yay for that! Last, but not least: were the agricultural workers paid well, in a fair trade fashion? (probs not, most field workers come from the biggest ethnic minority in the country, the Romani people, who are subject to day-to-day (institutionalised) racism If you liked my review, you can follow me on @veganvstravel on Instagram or Facebook.
