  Bean burgers are really good too, usually not expensive either.

  mushrooms for the win. But i kinda never understood this thing with copying meat food with substitutes. I mean if i’d want to have a meal with the flavour as artificial as it could be, i’d rather buy a pack of chips. In most cases it would also cost less.

    Meat products have already capitalised on successful food shapes. Round burger patties, sausages, bacon rashers. These are sensible and convenient shapes for meat to come in. It makes sense that vegan products should take advantage of existing and familiar shapes, because consumers intuitively know how to cook these shapes.

    I also don’t get the hyper fixation, I don’t care if it tastes like beef I just want it to taste good, but honestly they taste good either way. I think they’d sell more if they did not market as meat replacements.

      ikr, “meat replacer” even sound as artificial as it could be. Also it sounds more like an euphemism for a sex toy lol

  I can’t get over the texture, there’s something wrong with mushrooms. Maybe the mushroom burgers are different, I’ll have to try one sometime

    For a good portion of my life I couldn’t stand mushrooms. One day I suddenly just started craving them and now it’s one of my favourite foods. Weirdly enough I believe divinity original sin 2 is partly responsible for it.

      Huh, I had a similar thing with fish, maybe one day I could enjoy some shrooms

        I hope you do man, the world of mushrooms is varied and delicious. Simple sauteed mushrooms with garlic and herbs alongside a savoury dish is the best start to any day.
