    We use quorn mince for anything that would have used beef or lamb mince, even quorn chunks for a chicken curry because the predominant taste is the sauce

    I never have sauce on steak etc because I WANT TO TASTE THE MEAT

    Only my opinion of course but anyone who slaps ketchup in a bacon sandwich or roll does not deserve the right to eat meat, you may a well use cardboard

    INCOMING!!!!!!!!

    I am not sure but is part of a compromise with my wife who turned Vegetarian ten years after we got married

    It tastes ok and the texture is not bad

    I'll happily eat a plate of vegetables, I eat all veg, but all this stuff made to look like meat, I still need to convince myself. I think it's not understanding what some of the ingredients are that is the problem, but I suppose people could say the same about some meat products.

    I dont agree with all this new artificial meat produce

    Would be a laugh to give a vegan a real beef burger just to see if it did them any harm, which it wouldn't , but the look on their face when they enjoyed it

    I think I asked this on another thread and vaguely remember someone answering. The thing I don't like about fake meat is that it's always in the texture of mince. It's not like a fillet so the texture isn't that of cooked meat, you cant pull it apart like lamb or beef etc. Have they created this yet? Last time I read about it, it seemed an almost impossible task but maybe they have now.

    If I'm gonna eat fake meat it's got to have the texture of meat, not just mince. It's the difference between eating chicken nuggets and chicken strips.

    Does anyone remember the film Soylent Green, the processed food to feed the world turned out to be processed from dead humans

    I am glad I will not be alive to see that outcome of over population

    Wasn't there a plane crash one time, somewhere with extreme conditions, where the survivors had to live off eating humans?

    Yes Argentinian rugby players who crashed on a mountain

    To be fair to them they only eat the ones who died in the crash

    I can only imagine what that did to them psychologically

    They use a new term now for vegetarian/vegan food, it's now "plant based" so it sounds different/new.
    Plant based pulled pork or chicken comes from all those "plant based" hens and pigs you see wandering around farms <laugh>

    If you don't want to eat meat then don't try to make something that tastes like it <doh>

    I remember a documentary many years about cannibalism in Borneo and one of the elders said that they never liked eating white men because they were too salty

    Must be where the expression Salt of the Earth comes from
