Talking about impossible and beyond meat, of course. I like their taste, so I’m not one of those burger fash who complains about not being able to taste the flesh wounds of their victims. Just need the skinny on how it compares in terms of it’s nutrient quality, health factors in terms of contaminants in production or as a result of (PFAS, lead), and the impact on the environment. I’m sure the production of fake borg is better than maintaining and slaughtering cows, but relative to other foods how much better is it?
as a vegan chef i’mma tell you that vegan chicken stocks add 20x more flavor to everything that I’ve used them in, and vegan animal product imitation in general allows for a greatly increased variety of foods and flavors
I can’t stress enough how much better every single gravy I make with that vegan chicken stock is, attempting to add savory and umami flavors with onions and roasted veg stock and mushrooms/mushroom powder is just really insufficient.
