definitely not for me personally, but cool that theyre making these sorts of innovations with plant-based meats for those who are into them, and gets rid of the excuse of waiting for lab meat (and lets be honest, lab meat is techbro bullshit thats never gonna happen on any actual scale)
id be a bit worried its like beyond and impossible though, where they taste-test it against actual animal meat, do you know if it is?
Not sure, here’s the site: https://www.juicymarbles.com/shop/us/filet-mignon-2-pack
I think that one Bourdain quote at the beginning is the only time he was ever wrong.
Seems like it would just be easier to flat out say “Im almost exclusively vegan but I do sometimes eat meat” than this self-aware “Oh I know this rationalization is questionable hohohoho” stuff.
Anyone who would get annoyed by it are already annoyed by the act itself I imagine.
All these hot vegan substitute companies are like that, I’m especially annoyed at Just, they run a cringe marketing campaign where they essentially say “we don’t care about veganism, buy our stuff cause it tastes good” and they used bacon to promote just eggs when that came out. Like… eat a salad folks. Today I ate spicy red lentil soup and a fennel orange salad and I would never trade that for your shitty soy burger that smells like cat food.
That looks disgusting. I’d rather just eat tofu or a seitan dish. I eat meat, I eat non-meant proteins, but the idea of fake meat just gives me the heebie jeebies. Like be a carnivore or be a vegan but don’t hover in some weird superposition. Next someone will try to engineer a giraffe that grows corn off it’s ass.
I can’t work out if this is copy pasta or the worst take I’ve ever read on this site
Counterpoint: :bean:
Has anyone tried these? The look decent. Gonna need a taste test here
I might buy some and report back tbh
edit: boy these ain’t cheap huh :yikes:
That’s the biggest sticking point in mock meats for me. I’m not gonna buy something that’s $10 a serving.
