In reply to the discussion: Big Food is ready to sell you more plant-based meat [View all]GoCubsGo
(32,890 posts)16. I am amazed at how close some of them are to the real thing.
Dr. Praeger's is another example. I was a vegetarian in my twenties. It's like night and day now. Back then, faux meats were practically inedible. I'm back to being an omnivore, but I've been eating more vegetarian than not over the past few years. I'd rather have a Dr. Praeger Perfect Burger than the real thing. I just wish these realistic faux meats weren't so damned expensive.
Gardein needs to cut back on the salt, especially in their breakfast "sausage." Yikes! Wish Quorn would bring theirs back.
Chipotle chilies are also good for adding smokiness, btw.

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
