In reply to the discussion: Big Food is ready to sell you more plant-based meat [View all]renate
(13,776 posts)3. I'm sorry it doesn't suit you--my daughter can't eat it either
But wow, for people who can eat it without problems, Beyond Burger is so good! After thirty-five years of vegetarianism, it's such a treat to have a "real" hamburger. Highly recommended. We've also had good luck with Gardein; their fish is amazingly close to the texture that I remember.
Sorry if that's rubbing it in for vegetarians who can't eat faux meat, or who think it's gross, but I did want to share since meal planning is so much easier now than it was just a few years ago.
Oh! Another nice cooking trick I've found as a vegetarian who misses meat is smoked salt--if you like the smoky flavor of things cooked on the grill, this is an easy way to get a little of that flavor back.

That still doesn't answer your objection to some people wanting meat substitutes.

There is very little to nothing that you get from meat that you can't get elsewhere.

These meat substitutes are okay, but when I can get them, I like black bean burgers better
