Fast food has forever been linked to meat-eaters, occasionally vegetarians and rarely those of us who follow a vegan lifestyle.

But that could be about to change.

Burger giant McDonalds is currently trialling a vegan version of its famous patty and if it gets the thumbs up, it could become available in restaurants around the world.

Tampere in Finland is currently the testing ground for the McVegan, a soy-based burger with salad and dressing that has also been made vegan-friendly.

The Finnish arm of the company has released an image of the burger on its Instagram account. Other than looking slightly more orange than your average quarter pounder, there is little to differentiate it from any other McDonalds patty.

It will be tested in Tampere until November 21.

If your appetite has been tested by the image and you can’t wait for the McVegan to come to Liverpool, fear not.

You can satify your vegan burger needs right here in Merseyside. Try here for starters.
