Hmmm, not the way I thought this discussion would go....
My 2 cents:
I regularly cook vege sausages, alt-meat patties, and pulled jackfruit, but they’re not for me. They just make it easier for me to cook the way I want (smoke/grill) and cater for people who don’t eat meat.
Also don’t forget that that fungus-based mycoproteins, lab-cultured tissue, and insect-based proteins are next.
