I tried fake hamburger once when it was on sale at my local grocer. Made a burger, took one bite and spit it out. Absolutely disgusting stuff.
If you don’t want to eat meat, eat tofu. I like it, have it for dinner fairly often. Just slice it up, fry in EVOO until brown on both sides, use Chinese Sweet and Sour sauce on it.
I’m just on my way for an Impossible™ Burger right now, $3 Wednesday. Love ‘em.
