[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to go super American, I’d serve homemade veggie burgers, roasted potatoes/fries, corn on the cob, coleslaw, etc.  If you wanted more sides, there are tons of vegetarian options—caprese, kale salad, pasta salad, baked beans (made vegetarian).

(There are tons of veggie burger recipes on the internet, and they’re so easy to make that I don’t even use a recipe anymore, but I’ve seen lots of buzz about the one on Sally’s Baking Addiction.)[/quote]

Mind you if they are Indians from India - i.e. immigrants - they likely won't like American veggie burgers. My Indian parents/relatives/friends go on and on about how bad veggie burgers are here bc they are made of beans, rice, soy etc. -- and are forever comparing them to veggie burgers back home which are essentially potato patties. FWIW Indian vegetarians love potato in every form.[/quote]

Veggie burgers here are terrible because they’re frozen hockey pucks.  If you make them from scratch—not hard!!—you can make them from whatever you want. [b] Potatoes wouldn’t be my choice personally (potatoes between two buns?),[/b] but any combo of beans and veggies with some seasonings, panko or oats, and eggs can make a great burger![/quote]

I'm the PP you're quoting - yes Indians from India do think a potato between 2 buns is a great meal; it is a carb heavy diet - as you can sometimes see by physique. I'm sure yours are better than the frozen pre made ones, I'm just saying that I wouldn't go thru the effort of making them for people who'll just be thinking - hmm potatoes are better than this.[/quote]
