    Well, the thing about falafel is that you’re not necessarily cutting back on meat. You’re just eating falafel because of how good it is –

    There’s no mental disconnection that “oh man, I wish this was beef”, no, it’s just “God damn this tahina sauce and pickled cabbage is amazing”

      I’d argue that’s the same for black bean burgers. They are not like faux meat burgers, but a thing on their own.

        You’ve convinced me. I’m gonna try one next time I’m getting burgers. What sauces go well with black bean burger?

          They are pretty versatile, especially if they are homemade. But my go-to’s are a smokey bbq sauce or sriracha mayo

            Mmm, spicy mayo sounds good. How about cheeses, what goes perfectly with a black bean burger?

              Eh, anything that melts I’d suppose. Most of the times I used gouda, because that’s what was in the fridge
