Try V2 meat, that’s pretty good.
Beyond is great but pricy. But real meats price will probably end up going past it one day.

We just completed a project with this crowd. My Staff said they are good. While I like the income from these companies, not sure I am ready for the tasting.
Heretics!

OK, bit of bump it appears, which is surprising considering how this sort of stuff pissses off so many people, but I just tried Woolies’ Made With Plant’s Vegan Steak and found it to be much better than I expected. It’s a Seitan based product and cost around $9 for 2 serves, which is OKish, probably $1 for the Chinese original, and it went down well. I cut it in half rather than cook it as recommended but I liked the texture. Can’t really remember steak but seemed reasonably authentic to me, as a long term vegie, mind you.

One paltry 125gram serving takes up almost a third of your recommended daily sodium intake.
It’s almost as bad as some of the lower salt deli meats.

just buy some gluten flour. make it into a ‘bread-dough’, then boil it for an hour in a stock with as little or as much soy sauce, garlic & a few herbs as you like. then slice thin & fry.
this is a cheap vegan high protein food which is great unless you’re allergic to gluten.

Admire your DIY attitude but personally I’d rather just buy it and fry it.

i’m with you when it comes to tofu, but I like my DIY seitan far better than supermarket version.

Me everytime I go to Hungry Jacks “I really want to try the plan based burger”
Me when I get to the counter “I’ll have a whopper and cheese meal thanks”

I can’t remember the last time I had a non meat meal but thought I would give the HJ plant based burger another go hoping that in the time between my last attempt it had improved. Sadly I was wrong and it was utterly disgusting to the point I threw most of it in the bin at work and went back out to get a AB pack instead

I don’t mind the odd vegetarian meal, but you can stick the non-plant meat substitutes and full vegan jobbies fair up your clacker.
Took a few days but I knew the usual suspects would rise to the bait, vegie click bait that is.

fake post.
its always hunger tamer, even when its not its stunner deal.
i mean ace at least tried it, which is what you want isn’t it? or a you also a flaming hypocrite?
mushrooms, tempeh and tofu are great ingredients to base a meal around without having fake and largely unhealthy alternatives.
However if Heston Blue-menthol made a carrot out of tripe I’d probably try it.
Meat analogs or “fake meat” are developed to be a healthier alternative.

how are we measuring ‘healthier’ ?
and ‘healthier’ than mushrooms , tempeh and tofu?
Yep.
From a scientist point of view, the goal with meat analog has been to develop a healthy alternative to meat with the main considerations of feeding starving world populations and helping the repercussions of climate change.
If you can make a healthy meat substitute from natives grasses for example then places in African which grow grass ok but cannot sustain livestock will benefit.
It reportably take 10% of the water to produce 1 kg of meat analog compared to beef, and cattle allegedly contribute to climate change with their massive methane production. Also allegedly A 1,000-square-metre area of grass will take up around one tonne of carbon per year.
So if they could only make a fake meat that actually taste like eye fillet, it is a winner all round.
