I used to really be into burgers.  I have no recipes, but make fantastic
burgers from just about any vegetable matter.  Let's see--here I go:

1. carrot burgers--takes lots of chopped carrots and steam them till real
   soft.  mash them up, add an egg or two and some bread crumbs.  mix, shape,
   and fry.  great on homemade whole wheat rolls with ketchup

2. spinach burgers--to chopped cooked spinach add an egg, matzo meal, and
   some nutmeg if you like a Middle Eastern taste.  fry.

3. zucchini burgers--put several small zucchinis through your Cuisinart or
   other food processor using a shredding disk (I think--I might have
   just thrown them in with regular cutter).  add egg, spices (I like
   Italian), a bit of onion or garlic.  after processing, add bread crumbs
   (I suppose you could add cooked grain too), shape and fry.

4. I really like these plain vegetable burgers, rather than the heavy
   grain burgers and as you can see they are easy. people really dig
   the zucchini ones especially.

5.  since this is my first contribution to net.veg, I want to ask if
    anyone has thought of putting together a real cookbook and calling
    it "The Unix Vegetarian"!!!  

6.  Anyone know of any good vegetarian rest. in New Jersey????  I'm new
    here.
