[Food] The Plant based burger

[Easy 10]

Did you take the plunge?

I didn't fancy having those vegan fingers inside me, so no. I got a Yorkie.

I went to get a KitKat before the game. They only had VEGAN KitKats. I actually thought they were joking - they weren't. There it was, resplendent in its green wrapper.

What have we become.

That’ll be a kitkat for people who don’t want to eat the milk

They are not very nice imo

It's the thin end of the edge

Give vegan fingers a chance!

We used to be a real country. Did we lose a war or something? Churchill must be turning in his grave.

I have no real 'beef' with peoples dietary choices. I do take offence to the 'thunberg effect' of being criticised for for my dietary choices(few years ago, daughters friend, pasty faced vegan bint). I've tried some of these alternatives...not for me. I've got to really laugh out loud at some of the adverts that have popped up on this thread, house plants and lab equipment expo.......who says they're not listening

I don’t eat meat but tried a Moving Mountains burger in a pub as I didn’t fancy the other veggie/ vegan option, I would recommend this burger to anyone. Quite pleased I’ve found it on the menu of a few other pubs.

Yeah these are decent. They serve them at the Big Beach. Would choose this over a crap meat burger every time.

Swathes of vital forest are cut down to create room to grow feed for animals that we then eat.

support anyone’s choice to eat meat or not but even the most ardent flesh chomper must recognise that is utter madness.

Burgers are overrated anyway as are the hipster morons who think they are culinary prodigies for slapping some ground beef on a griddle .

 

[beorhthelm]

I don’t think meat-free alternatives are about shaming meat eaters. They aren’t for me anyway. I don’t care about anyone else’s diet, that is entirely their business.

But I did used to absolutely love a burger, and when plant based alternatives started to pop up it meant I could have dirty burgers again. The fact they are mostly absolute crap in taste, texture and price by comparison to real meat, well, that’s just an annoyance. And yea, I think they are over processed in the main and likely worse for your than beef.

I hope they figure out how to make lab grown protein for low cost. That will eventually put the nail in the coffin for the meat industry.

Would you eat lab grown beef? Chemically identical to real beef, but grown in clean lab conditions, to the exact spec required?

they've made low-cost synthetic protein, quorn. its just not good enough to fool people as a replacement. lab grown "meat" will probably do that, look forward to that getting cracked. some get squimish about lab-grown ignoring all the stuff they already eat that's manufactured in some way. though apparently many vegans wont consider lab grown meat because the source protein comes from an animal (they'll be upset when finding out many medicines do too).

Thin end of the Vedge, maybe?

I’m trying to keep the saturated fats down to help with the cholesterol. I was pleased to see the vegan sausage casserole on the menu, as cutting out the pastry really helps.

So, of course, there wasn’t any at 14:15. Brilliant.

Somebody missed out on my £5.30 because there was absolutely nothing else that came close to being low fat.

I saw tomato soup on the menu!!

 

[maltaseagull]

I saw the vegan pie had cheese in it! (at least according to the menu on the screens)

Did you not know there is vegan "cheese"?

Two fingers?

 

[AstroSloth]

Pretty sure meat-eating has been the norm in just about every culture everywhere since about forever. Lab-grown algae? Not so much

Lucky it was a shiitake mushroom burger then...

 

[AstroSloth]

which can be quite impressive, until you realise it’s to imitate something that already exists plentifully

But these have the taste that people want without the pointless suffering of animals, less greenhouse gas production and lower amounts of land use.

Damn. Missed that. Although I can’t help but think that lunch should be something you chew.

Totally agree

I will look out for the hotdog, I’ve only had the burger.
