Very tasty!

Mock-Burger I'm guessing? What's the base for it?

Mock-Burger I'm guessing? What's the base for it?

Concerned about the slab of earthworms, or brains , but guess mushrooms and onions will save the day

More protein and less fat and mince.

Tastes good!

I am sure it tastes good. Back in the 80s when I started work, there was this UK mag called the New Scientist. Every now and then they had a cartoon and they would talk about "new food." This is highly reminiscent of those panels. I would stick with beans and greens.

Gets pretty boring if you're veggie!

Beans and greens and/or rice and beans would be my choices. We already do these things a lot. There are so many fantastic options there. I try to minimise my soy intake.

I tried a non-soy meat substitute a while ago as a burger. While it was hot it tasted quite good, but as it cooled it gained this unpleasant aftertaste. This is only my preference. but I am not really keen on meat substitutes. If it helps people go veg, that's great, but it would not be a frequent choice for me.

Thanks for the data. I am totally OK with good meat substitutes. I also eat meat, but feel a kinship with veggie diets. I was veggie during most of the '80s. Here at home we eat mostly fresh vegetables (many homegrown) with beans or whole grains, meat or fish treated as an ingredient rather than centerpiece. I feel similarly uncomfortable with highly processed vegetarian products as with any processed food though, as I feel they participate in a different problem of separating us from the actual food we eat by way of manufacturing. Whatever - at a certain point, as population increases, vegetarian diets will be the only good way forward and technology will need to help people get the proteins they need (when they don't do their dietary homework at least.)

I eat loads of veg, just replace meat with supplements. I used to eat processed bacon and sausages which is definitely less healthy than what I eat now.

I used to use a meat substitute when making meatless lasagne with meat sauce or spag with meat sauce. Then one day I made this fake mince with quinoa, which is a grain I hate, a variety of mushrooms and a cheap sharpish red wine. It was delicious, far better than the meat substitute and it had a texture not unlike ground meat. The best part,? No factory processing.
