Looks a bit...revolting I certainly agree no-one needs McDonald's though!
i love a good greasy fry up for breakfast (especially after a night out) - i wanna try it
Oh my, that looks horrendous I can't remember that last time I bought anything from McDonalds, and this certainly hasn't convinced me to hand over any cash to them
I like football. And potatoes.
I can't say it appeals to me either, but I liked the ingenuity of it
I got a recipe for McVegans from vegweb.com a while ago, and have been wanting to try it. It does look gross, but there's something about it that I want...
I'd eat that.
Can someone open a Vegan fast food outlet near to me please?
I'd try it too
That looks delicious. YUM!
Peace, love, and happiness.
i have eaten at mcdonalds a grand total of, 5 times in my life MABY 10 but i doubt it. there food now makes me feel phsically SICK, especially after fastfood nation
Yuck =P
Ingenius though!
mmmm I'm a white trash vegan, I'll definitely try that!
You have to wonder though...You may not be eating meat/dairy, but making a vegan Mcmuffin still seems to support Mcdonalds, which is un-veganish.
How does it support it? You make it at home. No money is going towards McDonald's. It's like saying homemade bean burgers are supporting slaughterhouses.
Peace, love, and happiness.
It's the name--free advertising. Plus, it makes it seem like vegans need Mcdonalds.
A burger is a shape that fits well between bread. A McMuffin is a product made by a very very dodgy company. I completely see the difference between the two.
Many of us were not bought up vegan and developed a taste for meat, thus making meat substitutes palettable. Directly copying a product design has nothing to do with taste however, and I really don't want to recreate the McDonalds experience in our vegan kitchen.

Anyway it seems more of a p!ss-take than a tribute, particularly considering the way it looks
BTW there used to be a vegetarian restaurant in Santa Cruz called McDharma's but McDonalds forced them to drop the "Mc" bit. (Is it still going, does anyone know?)

There's a restaurant in Leicester called McIndians
Their slogan is "you've tried the cowboys, now try the indians" which I think is sort of catchy. Unfortunately it's mostly meat but they seem to have more veg*n options than McDs.
Not yet, but I'm tempted
I would be as well, only it's a bit far for them to come. We've certainly had the cowboys.
I'm not tempted by this one bit. But then I've never been a big fan of fast food type stuff. Looks plain disgusting to me
Now, cake, on the otherhand....

I have to say McDonalds is one thing I don't miss at all, I used to have Burger King if anything and that was usually when I was drunk.
McDonalds always smells like bleach from the outside.
I would be glad if Pizza Hut came up with a vegan pizza however and if they did their salad bar with potato salad with vegan mayo - sigh - maybe one day when us vegans outnumber meateaters.
how about calling it a veg-uffin??
i'd say, on a bad day, when the wind was blowing from the wrong direction - i'd give that a go ....but mine would look nicer!
They call them vegan sausages, not vegan pork sausages. I think that makes all the difference. In my mind, probably until the day I die, even if McDonald's were to completely turn their company around in a vegan direction, I'll never be able to hear a food with the prefix "Mc" and not think "artery clogging, vile, disgusting garbage."
