What the fuck is the 'authentic experience' of a chicken nugget that seitan is incapable of replicating, anyways? Also the burger patties I ate in school as a cringe baby carnist were 60% TVP soy to begin with, so if anything I'm being even more honest with my frozen slabs now

Fake chicken is close enough for me. A proper beef substitute is a bit harder, imo.

Honestly the Carl's jr beyond famous star/ burger king impossible whopper basically taste the same as the normal in my mind. I've never done side by side though.

Unfortunately Burger King supports isntrael

That's fine, Carl's jr is superior.

I used to live by BK but now they're all like 20 minutes away.

I did a side-by-side last summer with my husband; you can tell the difference when you're paying attention, but it's very very close.

I still like regular veggie burgers better, but the Impossible stuff is definitely useful for turning people.

For Chili and stuff, definitely use soya de carne. It's almost indistinguishable form ground beef. Harder to make into a burger of course but still okay.

Cuts of beef are a lot harder to make and will probably necessitate some more research tbh.

Gonna look into that, thanks. And yeah, black bean burgers are "good enough" since burgers are really all about the texture and the cheese, honestly.
