Speaking of summer-time picnics, that reminds me of a story involving black bean and lentil burgers…

On a warm sunny summer day, a group of friends decided to have a picnic in the park. They wanted to add a twist to it. They determined to make the most out of their vegetarian feast by grilling some black bean and lentil burgers. As they set up their picnic spot under a big oak tree, they fired up the grill. The veggie burgers seared to perfection sending out a tantalizing aroma.

They were about to enjoy their delicious meal. Suddenly, a mischievous squirrel darted out from behind a bush. It eyed the burgers with curiosity. One of the friends had an idea. Let’s call her Sarah. She thought it would be funny to offer a tiny black bean patty to the squirrel as a friendly gesture.

To everyone’s surprise, the squirrel seemed to understand the offer. He eagerly accepted the tiny piece of burger from Sarah’s hand. He sat on his hind legs, holding the burger between his little paws munching away happily. Sarah and her friends watched in awe. The squirrel even let out a satisfied bark. It was as if he gave the black bean and lentil burger his seal of approval.

The friends couldn’t contain their laughter at the unexpected turn of events. They jokingly began to refer to the squirrel as the “Burger Critic,” imagining it as a connoisseur of vegetarian delights. From that day on, every time they had a picnic, they hoped for something special. They half-expected the Burger Critic to make a surprise appearance to share their meal.

Henceforth the Burger Critic squirrel became a legend among the group of friends. He was forever linked to their quirky picnic adventures.
