Sir, I'll have you know that faux meat has been declared illegal by RFC.

Fake meat is illegal at every market in NYC.

I bet the Whole Foods markets in Brooklyn carry fake meat.

Oh hush. The two bruces are talking amongst themselves about veggie
burgers. Obviously they know more than we do about what tastes good. Heh.

'Impossible' (plant based) faux meat is for sale these days even at your
beloved Tops Market. Doesn't mean many of us want to eat it.

Even before this odd meatlike substance (it's not frozen, it's in a
cryo-vac'd package that looks like ground beef - talk about MYSTERY
MEAT!) there were frozen Boca Burgers. Lots of chemicals pretending to
taste like meat. Don't ask me why some vegetarians want to eat this
faux meat stuff.

For a while Burger King had a huge TV advertising push "Impossible
Whoppers". "Plant based meat. That ad campaign lasted about 6 months
then suddenly it's gone and they're back to touting two whole beef
patties on a sesame seed bun. Go figure.

Advertising for such things, especially fast food, has ZERO impact on my
interest in trying it. I've tasted Boca burgers in years past and they
taste like crap.

I can only speak for myself. Many of the faux ones taste good to me.
The ingredient list can be bad, though. But at least "animal suffering"
isn't on it.

Who says you want to eat it? Can we only talk about things YOU want to
eat here? That would be quite limiting.

Maybe they like the taste of meat but don't like the animal abuse?
Sorry, was that hard to understand?

Figure what?

I don't think staunch corpse eaters are the main target audience of
these ads.

That excludes me. Though I like those beyond sausage links sliced the long way with grits and eggs. And toast.

Very good.

We've tried a few fake meats recently. One was mealy, many were ok and
some were really good. But don't look at the ingredient lists.

At last! Let's have a polite discussion. Definitely don't look at the
ingredients lists for the old Boca Burgers and Morningstar Farms faux
meat products. Unless you just love injesting chemicals. I've been
saying that for years.

The newer stuff isn't sold frozen, it's cryo-vac'd and sold "fresh" in
the cold case. Plant-based meat. The ingredients on the Beyond brand
aren't horrible. This is the sausage links bowser is referring to:

Ingredients. Water, Pea Protein*, Refined Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil,
Natural Flavor, Contains 2% or less of: Rice Protein, Faba Bean Protein,
Potato Starch, Salt, Fruit Juice (For Color), Vegetable Juice (For
Color), Apple Fiber, Methylcellulose, Citrus Extract (To Protect
Quality), Calcium Alginate Casing.

It's still not meat. It won't tempt me to buy it.

I'm hoping they'll get better over time, ingredient-wise. If you don't
eat meat, you don't HAVE to eat faux meat, of course. But the more
options, the better.

Even if it's sold by a schlemiel at a kosher deli?
