No meat before faux meat. I was at a local grocery months ago when there were meat shortages. It was late in the day and they had no meat left at all. Except this one section, where four people were standing and staring at the many packages of meat. They all turned and walked away with nothing. I then got close enough to see it was the fake meat section. Nobody wanted it.
All the stores here, though, virtue signal with their fake meat sections.
I get unpleasant background notes, and barely acceptable primary flavor notes.
I don't eat a burger every day or something, but if I want a burger I'll get a burger. If I want something a little lighter or different, there are like 30 different ways to make a veggie burger.
Don't need to pretend byproducts are meat when I crave a burger but don't want meat.
It's really funny how much they try to make fake meat.
I had a mushroom burger recently from a local business, and it was delicious. It was definitely burger like, but distinctly a mushroom burger. It didn't try to replace meat, it didn't try to taste like meat, it was specifically what it was -- a mushroom burger.
I like a good veggie burger now and then if it's made from some good ingredients.
But even ignoring the proximity to abortion clinics and that whole debacle, I just don't see the point in trying to pretend something is meat -- in some cases tricking people -- to make a vegetarian burger that makes people think they're eating meat.
And to hammer in a personal point, I have eaten a few faux meat products because I felt the need to try it to ensure that I could properly criticize it; every brand had this weird subtle after taste, and it didn't taste like meat at all to me, and I did a blind taste test.
Doesn't end up being any healthier anyway because of all they have to shove in there to make it resemble meat at all.

I doubt it is because it is pricier...lol... it's because it tastes like the ass end of a skunk!
Full disclosure - I have never actually tasted the ass end of a skunk...just guessing it is bad.
I tried some of the Beyond Meat when it first came out. Weird thing is it smelled just like real meat cooking. But then you tasted it - ugh!

“Craving a burger” + “but don’t want meat” are statements that are incompatible!
That was probably your neighbors bbq you smelled!
I don't have neighbors close enough for me to smell their bbq. City slicker.
Lol…wish I could say the same…u lucky!
I wish you could too. It's nice out here.
Whereabouts?

Publix has a pretty big selection of all that fake meat stuff and I don't think it goes over really well here. ;)
I like veggie burgers and black bean burgers, but imitation meat not so much.
Yes this exactly. Bean based burgers also carry on flavors of spices and herbs very nicely.

"It's really funny how much they try to make fake meat."
Yeah, they try soo hard when all you really need is a cow, water, feed, and a nice pasture.
Like, why re-invent the wheel? I know, vee must eat zee bugs. Well, I'm not eating that, either.
I would have no qualms about physically assaulting anyone who tried to make me eat bugs.
I have had nightmares about bugs entering my mouth when I sleep various times since I developed a phobia as a child.
A fear and repulsion response on that level would absolutely make me feel cornered and violent.
If NuHippies wanna eat bugs they can go right ahead. I'll stick to meat with my girlfriend.
Their stock is up 24% today, totally organic, I'm sure.
Of course.
The meat that can't be beat...😂😂😂
Awesome!!!!
It's gross and full of chemicals
read the ingredient list on that processed garbage, its enough to give nightmares
Unbelievably it's worse than the USDA food pyramid.
Shun, I'd no more eat that fake shit than I'd eat a shitty diaper.
