The Veganism Thread

[Rocket-Boy]

ironically I find it's the meat eaters who try and shame you...but as the years have gone by I think I've heard most of the crap jokes and bonehead remarks by now....

Its sad how they think its funny and witty.

Its just part of human nature to want everyone to do the same things you do I guess.

Off topic but on topic...

Has anyone tried the new Denny range of burger patties, mince and sausages?

They are ridiculously good, I would say about 80% of the way there in terms of flavour and texture to Beyond meat.

The really cool thing is they are mushroom based so the sausages dont dry out when you braai them.

 

Saw the mince for the first time the other day, will look out for the other products, and give them a go.

I’ve tried the patties before but for everything else it’s Linda McCarhy or Fry’s

I like meat too much and viable alternatives are currently too expensive.

Beyond meat (no soy btw) is cheaper than real meat in America.

Yes its expensive in SA and so are other meat alternatives but the price will gradually decrease when more people will seek alternative options.

Bacon

Bravo.... Nothing beats pork... If I could drink pork I would

The only thing that I'm dificient in is a vegan friend.????

Yes. I admit it, I just want someone to be the same as me.

Not one of these guys btw but friends of mine.

A Beyond Patty here in London is about £2.75 each, a beef patty is about £1.25 for the same size.

R129.99 this side at Woolies. Definitely keen to try them.

 

We've been buying from Herbi Vohr recently. (https://herbivohr.wixsite.com/herbivohr)

 

Really impressed with the pulled pork and pastrami. Great for wraps, sandwiches, and pizza. 

 

The biltong is pretty spot on too. Keen to try the bacon. Avoid the steak though. It's really weird.

Homer said it best:

 

1. “(Lisa) “I’m going to become a vegetarian” (Homer) “Does that mean you’re not going to eat any pork?” “Yes” “Bacon?” “Yes Dad” Ham?” “Dad all those meats come from the same animal” “Right Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal!””

Think I have said it before on here, Beyond burgers are very very good. I am just not convinced about how healthy they are, they are super processed. But it is “guilt free” to a degree if that’s what matters.

Have you tried the impossible burger patty yet? 

 

I suspect its a little different by virtue of being in fast food type small burgers but I'm just interested if they're on par with beyond.

The biltong is great, the bites/sticks (?) I forget the name now, difficult to come by, but are absolutely delicious.

That mushroom biltong from woolies is super poef tho. Tastes like a woester sauce pine shaving.

????????????????????

 

Which "real meat" are you talking about? Kobe? Wagyu?

I agree, we don't know how processed it is. The boyond burger does have a healthy protein source but is equally loaded with fat just like a real beef patty.

Maybe it's the fat in food that makes it tasty.
