Letters: French vegetarian burgers are still a work in progress

To the Editor,

I have been reading the recent reader debate in The Connexion about vegetarian meals.

I asked for a vegetarian burger last week from the menu of a local restaurant.

So basically potato, plus bread, plus potato!

A little imagination, creating a burger from a variety of shredded, compacted vegetables, and I am sure it would be a popular alternative to a meat burger.
