Butchers don't want you to know this but kidney beans beat cow on protein content gram for gram. They're also cheaper and more ethical.

Meat is a luxury good, in both the financial and moral sense.

@naevaTheRat @Baku what is the best kidney bean burger pattie recipe?

Oooh that's a tricky one. May as well ask what's the best curry!

I actually favour tvp (don't buy in colesworth, more than 8 bucks a kilo is criminal extortion, get it in 10 kg bags online) or black bean burgers.

Try these:

Also colesworth/aldis etc will extort you on the price of lentils/legumes/pulses. I've seen dried beans costing as much as 10 bucks a kilo lmfao. Check out Indian and chinese catering grocers or bulk sellers online (shipping varies, keep that on mind). Pre recession my price was 2 bucks a kilo for most of my bulk protein sources, now 4 to 8 but that's capitalism baby.

Colesworth pricing on tvp is fucking obscene. I usually hit up asian markets, you get fifty times for the same price

(Also buyasianfood for the lamyong)
