Using oil to pan-fry, the patty stays together nicely. Scrapping away some of the breading the underlying patty sort of looks like chicken. Cooked; the breading is crisp, the mouth-feel is nice, the patty doesn’t fall apart. The patty almost has the firmness of a thin real chicken patty. Not surprisingly, the patty does not taste like chicken. In fact there’s an interesting hint of fried okra. Even with the slight taste of fried okra, the patty is perfectly edible as is without condiments. With some lettuce, tomato, and mayo (not vegan), the taste is even better, but that fried vegetable taste still comes through some. Substituting some aggressive guacamole for the mayo also worked well.
The product is labeled vegan. For non-vegetarians, this soy protein based patty is an acceptable substitute for the real thing. Unfortunately this seems to be one of those ALDI special items which are only around for a week or two. But like most ALDI special items this one will probably make its way back to the freezer cases sometime in the future.

I think I would love this on a bun with the guacamole you suggest and lettuce and beetroot.

Try the “Quinoa Cowboy” veggie burgers from Trader Joe’s if you haven’t all ready; really tasty veggie burger and good ingredients too! The veggie “Birds Nests” are super good too.

The Quinoa Cowboy? I don’t remember him hanging out with John Wayne. Next trip to TJ, I’ll check him out at High Noon.

Rofl!! He was originally cast as the bad guy in “Shane” but Jack Palance edged him out. Later he tried out for “Curly” in “City Slickers” and lost out again : (
