It's been a long time since I tried a Hungry Jacks burger, but I wanted to give them a go with their fake meat burger. I thought I had read that the patty was made by Beyond Burger, but I see from Lifehacker that (in Australia at least) it's by an Australian start up. Cool.
So I had it last night.
First - I think it's amusing marketing (which probably causes some irritation to conservatives) that they have called it the Rebel Whopper. Yeah - us real rebels are now the one disdaining meat [at least once a week, anyway.:)] It was also at the very top of the drive through order board, indicating either that there is high demand for it, or the company is trying to generate high demand.
Second: I had the Rebel Whopper Cheese. No need to go completely hair shirt just because I'm not eating meat on my burger.
Thirdly: the taste - really good, actually. Sure, if you think about the texture too much, it is softer than a beef burger, but the flavour is very similar. There was a lot of some creamy sort of sauce, but I didn't mind that.
Fourth: even the chips seemed nicer than what I remember from HJ's. Pretty salty, but nice texture and less fatty than McD's french fries.
Fifth: the price - $11.70 for the medium meal. Compares very well with the golden arches.
I will buy one again. I liked it.
