Wasn't after sympathy,
Well I do feel slightly sorry for you that you even tried it.

If I'm going to eat a vege burger the least they could do is not make it pretend to be meat
This. My wife gets the vege burger from our local all the time, its a stack of mushrooms, beetroot, tomato, and other vege, and really pretty good. Way better than a bunch of minced legumes and lentils pretending to be something that they are not.

Or worse still a list of 'ingredients' that sound like a chemistry book and play havoc with your gut.
Nothing wrong in having a meatless meal, but it is entirely possible to make one simply out of real food.
That Egglant Parma one above looks alright. I'd eat that.

I read the BK burger is absolutely loaded with estrogen, is there any truth to that? Guys are scared they'll grow tits if they eat too many

Fuck I'll say.
Also, isn't the whole thing about being Vegan is because you have so much empathy for animals? Why then would you want to make your food look like a dead animal?

Haven't you answered your own question? It's about empathy towards animals not about disliking the taste of meat

The radical, outspoken nut jobs generally have that as their motivation I think, but a lot more people are going to plant based diets for health reasons (whether you believe it is healthier or not is personal choice and depends on what you read). I have found these types to be quite rational as they are doing it because they want to, for themselves, and don't preach.

Once they are in your freezer they don't , so do vegans taste healthier?

A guy at work went out and purchased a few for us to try today.
We all had half a burger. You could tell it wasn't meat but it was not unpleasant until about 15 mins later where everyone had a horrible after-taste in their mouth.
Avoid.
Off to get a coffee to try and be rid of the taste
Serves you right

Wash it down with a cup of beef broth

I assume no one here was a business class customer when Air NZ had these on their menu?
La de fucking da

@mariner4life To be perfectly clear, I wasn't talking from personal experience. I wish I turned left when boarding a plane.

I barely tolerate fake blondes.
If I want something that looks, smells and tastes like meat, I eat meat.
If BK can make a Whopper that tastes great without meat, I'm happy to try it for the apparent health benefits.

May have been but as business class you have a choice of what to eat and it certainly wouldnt have been a fake burger

There was a woman on the radio today touting chicken free chicken and bacon free bacon from these guys:
Whatever the pros and cons there was one thing that caught my ear. She said that they had IP for ( I think I’m getting this right) converting the proteins into long string proteins to give us a meaty texture that tears. I’m not sure how true that is but any chemists can probably critique it.
But the thing that really irked me was the announcer woman let her off with a claim that this stuff isn’t processed, because by “processed“ people mean things done to take the goodness away. Now that’s some smelly bullshit. Processed means you do something to change the natural state of it. Which makes this processed. It doesn’t mean it’s any worse, and to be honest I don’t think even the most dubious food manufacturer starts out with the intention of making food that tastes worse and will fuck up people’s health.
But it is processed and I don’t think these manufacturers should get away with claiming it is natural just because it’s sourced from a plant. Because so are Twinkies.
