Did you know? Throughout the years hamburgers have become a symbol of American cuisine, though they are loved the world over. They come in a number of varieties, and can even be made vegetarian style. In countries like India, where beef is not part of the traditional Hindu diet, potato patties called Aloo Tikki are popular. However, the overwhelmingly favored version is the traditional beef burger. It is so popular, in fact, that the global desire for burgers may not be sustainable. Recently, scientists have been challenged to grow burger meat in petri dishes to satisfy the enormous demand for burger meat worldwide. To further satisfy the growing community of vegans and vegetarians vegan patties have been produced so that they won't miss out. It’s certainly a far cry from the Hamburg steaks of yore. At @Bunsoutlinden we certainly going to cater for every individual with different preferences Come join us from the 27th of September. Hope to see you there!
