Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 some places like McDonalds have salads too. ---- Donnalilacflower 1/28/2007 11:53:05 AM Re: Options at Fast Food Places? Burger King veggie burger in a pinch. Taco Bell bean burrito Subway has sandwiches you can eat. Jack in the Box in my aera will make a cheese, lettuce and tomato sandwich on a bun and charge 35 to 50 cents for it.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 McDonalds have small dinner salads. Those are the only thing there I can eat. Little bit of iceburg letuce for $1.50. When I am forced to go there I usually watch my grandkids eat their fried and burgers then go home or to subway to get a vegi sandwich. MdDonalds is a total waste of time for a vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Don't forget the markets now usually have a deli or a salad bar. Whole Foods in my area has a take out. Trader Joe's usually has good already prepared salad, vegetarian sandwiches and vegetarian sushi rolls. This may sound odd. If I have to grab something out I usually run into the hospital cafeteria, they have a great grilled veggie burger that is grilled on a second grill used for non-meat items and they charge $1.50 and add a pickle and coleslaw. If you search it out there are quite a few options awailable out there. Find these places and keep a note in the car for your emergency stops.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I agree--grocery stores, delicatessens, and real sit-down restaurants are how I survive when I am away from home and cannot get real food. I don't even consider fast food to be an option. Several years ago, I was on an Amtrak Bus. It stopped at a fast food outfit, so my response was to go next door to the minimart. to buy some lowfat yoghurt, a can of V-8 juice along with a banana. Of course, when I got back on the bus, I had to smell that horrible fast food smell, but we are all humans living in this world and we are all different. Even a minimart is better than fast food. At home, I would never set food in a minimart.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 AFAIK: McDonald's was sued for the animal products and allergens (whey and gluten) in their fries. Thought it had been remedied, but perhaps their history makes them both untrustworthy and unworthy in general. I believe Burger King uses Boca Burgers (not vegan) for their veggie burgers. I tried them when they first came out and was soon in the bathroom with Montezuma's Revenge. Guess my body wasn't used to the high sodium and possibly cross-contamination. One solution for veggie burgers being cooked on a meat grill would be to ask for them to microwave them, if they don't already. Wendy's has a sizeable garden salad with packets of pecans to sprinkle over the top. The baked potato was mentioned previously too. Good idea. Wonder if they are premade or if you can ask for them w/o cheese (this vegan wants to know). -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I have a knife in my car so I will also grab a roll from the bread bulk bin, a tomato that I skin since I can't wash it, mini jar or horseradish, a banana and head back on the run. Opps! and I also toss a handful of pistachios in a produce bag too since those are usually sold bulk. Donna --- " Kathleen M.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Burger King has a veggie burger that's pretty good. AT McDonald's I order one of the supreme chicken sandwiches without the meat and add ranch sauce and lots of veggies. It comes on a wheat bun and it's quite tasty. Taco Bell will substitute beans for meat in just about anything and there are always Subway veggie sandwiches.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 McDonalds has a salad. Burger King has a pretty good veggie burger. Chili's has a black bean burger that you can have prepared like any other burger on the menu. Dennys has Boca Burger. Taco Bell has (vegetarian) bean burritos. (other's have bean burritos, but beans are made with some sort of animal flavorings :-(. Wendy's has a salad bar with a baked potato. CiCi's pizza has pasta and a salad bar. Hope this helps a little.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I substitute the fries @ Chilis (and Denny's) for a salad. I believe they charge an extra $ at Chili's for the substitution. Usually I can only finish half the burger, so take it home for a snack later.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I think they are the Morningstar Farm brand of Chicken Patty made into a rectaular for Subways. And the Spicy Black Bean Burger is also Morningstar Farms. I may be thinking of Blimpies though. We just went to Subways today and they said that they were getting in the Veggie Max Patties tomorrow at that location. They were a brand new store, so they hadn't arrived yet. By the way, you have to ask for it at Subways, because the ones that I have been to, didn't advertise that they even carried them, but they had them, when you asked about them.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hi Maggie, I agree, don't think that Burger King, McDonald's or Wendys have anything worth eating. Quizno's has a great veggie sub, had one last night. Lots of mushrooms, olives, guacamole and a little cheese that could be left off if you want it vegan. At Taco Bell about I would order is bean burrito with no cheese. Don't know where you live, but here in Puerto Rico we have Taco Maker too, which is better than Taco Bell. Have delicious bean burritos and Nacho Deluxe, with nacho chips, olives, refried beans and tomato (cheese optional). We also have El Meson, which has veggie sandwiches and a great stuffed veggie baked potato (cheese optional). If you eat cheese, than any pizza place is good, just have them pile on the mushrooms, onions, olives, etc. Bryan , " Guru K " <greatyoga wrote: > > Maggie > > I don't go to Burger King or Mc D's at all.
