Is there a meat-free burger or sausage that hasn’t got a load of shit in it? Is it beyond the ability of man to produce such a thing?

I saw these meat-free foods in the store the other day, they were called fruits and vegetables – might give them a try sometime.

Im a pescatarian and besides tofu, I wouldnt buy any of these foods because they seem generally unhealthy.

A lot of the fake meat industry is struggling because too many companies tried to jump on the bandwagon all at once and oversaturated the market. A correction was inevitable.

Their food has taken a dip in quality over the past couple of years. The cocktail sausages used to be so much nicer!! Same for the ham.

We once tried quorn mince in a spaghetti bol instead of meat, in attempt to be healthy, and neither of us could eat it, it was so disgusting and had a really weird aftertaste. So im not surprised they are losing sales in all fairness … You couldn’t pay me to eat that stuff! 🤢

Quorn is made from mycoprotien – protein extracted from mold.
Whenever I’ve tried it, my gut instantly goes “Nope, fuck that” and I feel like crap until it comes out the other end.
My conclusion is, while certain people can tolerate it better than others, it’s a fundamentally bad thing to be putting in our bodies.

Meat free food. That’s veg, nuts and pulses then. Why would anyone eat this processed crap?

Because there’s much better vegan/vegetarian food available now.
Quorn is cardboard shite that barely passed as food a decade ago when options were limited for vegans.

Quorn loses out because their recipes still feature eggs which is a no-go for vegans. I’m flexitarian (eating mostly vegan because my wife is vegan) so I never buy the vegetarian Quorn stuff that has eggs in it because I’d be stuck eating then on my own. Their vegan sausages are decent but firmly outclassed by other brands.

Quorn used to be pretty much the only option I saw commonly for meat substitute food. Nowadays I see a much larger variety of options. I think it’s not people eating less meat substitute, but more likly to be Quorn not having the monopoly anymore. That’s just my thoughts though.

They never really made their products better from what I tried as a meat eater who doesn’t like chicken, it’s the same now as it was 10 years ago. It’s fine if you slather it in other ingredients (eg burgers/hot dogs) but other brands make tastier products now vegan food is more mainstream.

The only quorm things I’ve eaten recently haven’t been very good.
I’m a meat water but we have a few flesh free meals a week. We tend not to use meat substitutes and just cook meals than don’t revolve round a central protein (that sounds very wanky but I mean we don’t try to replace meat, we just cook something nice).
We don’t use meat replacement products as its often more processed than just meat.
Quorn may have a place but replacing shitty mince with shitty Quorn doesn’t work for me.
I’ve first ate fake meat in the 80’s so perhaps I just accept its shit and as billions of people live without meat I accept a good sausage is wonderful but there is far better food out there with out trying to replicate it with plants.
