These are not exactly the staple of vegetarian or healthy food. These chains are the exact opposite of that. But I still like to see it, as there is apparently enough demand for chains like these to create quite an expansive vegetarian menu and offer them permanently.

Als Amerikaan is dit niet eerlijk
I like how of these 25 items the US has just 1 on offer.
Thanks Burger King. I guess.
Brands of meat alternatives used:
– McDonald’s mainly uses Valess for their chicken and Impossible for their beef.
– Burger King uses Vegetarische Slager (Vegetarian Butcher) for both their beef and chicken products.
– Kentucky Fried Chicken uses Quorn for their chicken I think.
Of course, these exclude any kind of snacks (like fries, which are vegan), desserts, cafe, drinks, and sauces. Those items are usually vegetarian to begin with.
Personally, I am a flexitarian, not a vegetarian. But for home-cooked meals I just stick to meals without meat at all to decrease my meat consumption. So no alternatives (always a bit too pricey IMO). When I eat fastfood (not often), I try to often go for the more expensive burgers/specials, preferably chicken or veggie options (beef or chicken alternative). For me, they are sort of a nice introduction to meat alternatives and how tasty they can be in a burger/wrap, something I usually don’t get exposed to.
I had the McChicken in Amsterdam. It’s okay… It’s made with Valess, a dairy-based meat substitute. I consider “veggie” a misnomer here, though it is vegetarian friendly.
Meanwhile McDonalds Canada doesn’t have one vegetarian option….Those all look amazing!
This makes me so angry and jealous, the US has a LOT it needs to answer for but this may be one of the most egregious!! 😡
Babe, you haven’t touched your McPlant, is everything okay?
The US is so fucking behind it’s pathetic.
The KFC one is such a lazy approach lol…
Burger? Sure, lets just toss in two strips and call it a day.
In fact, lets just use these strips in everything.
Everything at Taco Bell is vegetarian if you substitute black beans for the meat.
mcdonalds, KFC in Australia have no veg options. Our Burger King. We call Hungry Jacks has 2 whoppers, one with fake meat & one with a veggie patty.
Damn, McDonald’s had one vegetarian option in my country and they got rid of it 😭 I think BK has something like a fried cheese patty one idk I haven’t tried it but it’s only like one option too
You lucky bastard. Despite me not being a fast food person, I would totally try most of these things.
Enjoy!
Meanwhile in Italy there’s not even one veggie option asides from the usual plain fries, or the horror that is the ‘McToast’
Meanwhile in the UK: McPlant.
🤤🤤🤤
Americans who run restaurants are still just Americans. They have been brainwashed by the meat industry and feel emotionally attached to eating meat. They’ll lose money to stay loyal to their meat.
Meanwhile in Germany you only have 2 options at McDonald’s 😫
These are all available in the UK too except maybe the salad (lol)
The mcplant and BK’s plant burger are goated
Must be nice! Here in ‘Murica, only have the one option of BK’s Impossible Whopper, and that’s it, that’s the entirety of options! At least in my market 😔

You have so many options wtf 😭😭😭
I’m a little jealous but also kind of glad we don’t have all this available because I’d definitely end up spending a lot more money on fast food.
