Although it does not mention any vegan variation, there is a wikipedia article about the “completos”.

    it’s never the options that try to replace a burger

    I generally agree with you, but I actually disagree on this specific example. It’s not fake meat burgers that I think are good, though, it’s black bean burgers. They’re just their own thing and they’re awesome.

      Same with these vegan hotdogs, they have an autentic flavor. In my opinion, they are “a thing” on their own not pretending to replace anything.

        Yeah the shape is what causes the confusion maybe. I remember they were but nearly as good back in the day, but now you’ve got all kinds of interesting herbs and spices, because people have figured out that it doesn’t need to taste like meat to be good.

        The shape is high tier, though. Perfect for dressing with all kinds of kooky things that would not fit in a sandwich

      I agree about black bean burgers. I’m an omnivore but will choose the black bean patty often because they’re just so good.
