LCBO Food & Drink Summer 2020

INSIDE SCOOP

FAUX BETTER

Planting ideas

Reusable and ready to fill with new favourites

The Beyond Meat burger became a media darling when A&W launched it as its vegetarian option a few years ago. The burger is the tastiest of the meatless patties and it mimics ground beef with aplomb. Serve it up fast-food style with ketchup, pickles and cheese or, for vegans, top it with arugula, grilled mushrooms and pesto. Beyond Meat Beyond Burger, $7.00 (2 x 113 g), loblaws.ca Grilling for a vegetarian used to cause a panic. Today there are many new plant-based options to throw on the BBQ. Here are two of our favourites.

Field Roast’s “simulated sausages” are a great-tasting spin on Mexican chorizo. Robustly seasoned with a remarkably similar texture to fresh meat sausage, it’s a bit spicy on its own. However, it’s fantastic on a bun with sour cream, fried onions and cilantro, or sliced up on a corn tortilla with guacamole and shaved cabbage. Field Roast Mexican Chipotle Sausage, $8.99 (4 x 92 g), Sobeys
