    Kfc goes hard

    But also a lot of vegan food slaps. Even those burgers. I’m a big fan of mushroom based burgers they are crazy good.

      mushrooms for the win. But i kinda never understood this thing with copying meat food with substitutes. I mean if i’d want to have a meal with the flavour as artificial as it could be, i’d rather buy a pack of chips. In most cases it would also cost less.

        Meat products have already capitalised on successful food shapes. Round burger patties, sausages, bacon rashers. These are sensible and convenient shapes for meat to come in. It makes sense that vegan products should take advantage of existing and familiar shapes, because consumers intuitively know how to cook these shapes.

      I can’t get over the texture, there’s something wrong with mushrooms. Maybe the mushroom burgers are different, I’ll have to try one sometime

        For a good portion of my life I couldn’t stand mushrooms. One day I suddenly just started craving them and now it’s one of my favourite foods. Weirdly enough I believe divinity original sin 2 is partly responsible for it.

            I hope you do man, the world of mushrooms is varied and delicious. Simple sauteed mushrooms with garlic and herbs alongside a savoury dish is the best start to any day.
