Have you tried any of the new, Plant Based Meals?

[Bretrick]

My supermarket had "Chilli Non Carne" on special, normally $10, on special for $2.
Thought I would try it.
2 mouthfuls, discarded it
Lentil based burger, very bland and unappealing

good for you there

Yes I have tried them. My husband who is vegan eats them almost exclusively... they are disgusting, taste planets away from real food..IMO..

Totally agree with you. No way will I be trying veg sausages.
If I want vegi burgers I will be making my own.

exactly right. My estranged o/h, eats the horrible 'steaks' the equally vile ''burgers'' the minced ''beef'' to use in Bolognese... I personally think that as a heavy smoker and drinker he has no taste buds left..

Gotta admit that most of the fake meats make me gag. I *do* like the Dr. Praeger's California Veggie Burgers, though... and the Morningstar Farms Spicy Black Bean Burgers. Not sure if I can actually tolerate the taste better or if putting them on a bun with ketchup, mayo, onion, and tomato masks the taste.

I have not tried any of the commercial plant based meals or foods, except for the Auguson Farms black bean burger mixture. It comes in a large can and is dehydrated beans, rice, oats, and spices. Anyway, you mix it with a little water and let it soak up and then make it into a burger patty, and it is really good.
I often grate some carrots, onions, and maybe some zucchini into the mixture, and that adds even more flavor, and it makes a good plant-based burger.

I am sticking with the real deal. I wont eat the fake crap if I was dying.

this is what I mean... my o/h covers all those different plastic meats with Very hot sauces....I'm sure he can't taste anything tbh

Disguising the taste will go a long way to at least making them tolerable.

Nope not for me. And anyway - if we weren't meant to eat animals how come they're made of meat?

I havent tried vegetarian sausages or burgers or meat replacement things like that - but I eat plenty of vegetarian dishes - chilli con carne made with lentils (not with fake mince) would be OK.

 

[Nathan]

Years ago I tried a couple different veggie burgers, they were OK but loaded with sodium...not OK.
If I want to eat meat, I'll eat real meat...if I want to eat vegetables, I'll eat real ones.

Plant based breakfast- Beyond Sausage patties. Sooo good!!

There are numerous animals that do an excellent job of processing plants for my diet

I'm a second hand vegetarian. Cows eat grass, I eat cows.
Funny thing, they don't try to make meat taste like veggies.
