    Used to eat Boca Burgers after school around 15 years ago and those things slapped. Like a minute in the microwave, throw some Monterey jack cheese on that bad boy, tasted like a slightly dry chicken sandwich.

    Not sure if the recipie has changed since the plant based meat revolution, but I would have no problem with it replacing general consumption meat.

    I still think there should be natural livestock meat available to consumers. Unless the dish your eating is meat focused( i.e. steak, bone-in chicken, ribs) I think there are very few who really would care/notice if the meat in their food was plants, because it’s essentially a fat saturated spice delivery tool.

      The ones I had tasted surprisingly close to a char grilled burger. I’ve found that the big trick with the plant based substitutes I’ve tried is to not eat it too often. Had to back off the meatballs for a bit.
