At to the lowest degree nosotros got in that location inwards the end.

The burger patties themselves are sort of similar inwards texture to those just-add-water falafel mixtures in addition to convey a nutty, garlicky flavor (depending on how much garlic you lot charge into them!). They're good for you lot in addition to filling and, every bit you lot tin meet above, an first-class vessel for chutney.
