I do love...LOL, Jan. That's a good point, too.<br /><br />I do love veggie/bean "burgers" though. They don't taste like meat to me, but I like the bun and toppings that you usually eat on a burger.Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-14379151983299314452018-03-16T15:29:27.875-04:002018-03-16T15:29:27.875-04:00Kav, I hadn't really thought about the fact th...Kav, I hadn't really thought about the fact that vegetarians might be turned off my the taste of meat! I'm such a carnivore that it never occurred to me. I guess I assume everyone would miss it. :)<br /><br />I like this kind of thing on occasion, so I can feel better about the environment and my health by eating meatless meals every so often.Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-54873991801177835072018-03-16T11:45:24.291-04:002018-03-16T11:45:24.291-04:00I've always wondered why people try to make ve...I've always wondered why people try to make vegetarian "meat." Really? There are so many delicious vegetarian foods out there that don't pretend to be something else...so why?<br /><br />But I can see that a person would crave a burger now and then, and if this is a delicious vegetarian option, then go for it.<br /><br />I'll stick with the original beef. Or bison. Or venison. And I'll eat my veggies in a salad. :-)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-14990056944312595372018-03-16T10:12:00.353-04:002018-03-16T10:12:00.353-04:00Only available in US. :-( But all the ingredients ...Only available in US. :-( But all the ingredients are natural so it's not the same as the genetically modified produce issue so that wouldn't be a conflict for a vegan.<br /><br />I know there's a mindset out there that is trying to duplicate the taste of meat in vegan products. I think maybe to increase sales? I like to approach my vegetarian eating on flavour and texture and sheer yummiest factor rather than trying to duplicate something else. So I never really looked for tastes like meat alternatives. I'm more like 'acts like meat in a recipe' so using tvp in place of ground beef in sloppy joes. But, having said that, I do appreciate a good burger. So far my favourite is from the Green Table a vegetarian restaurant close to me. It doesn't pretend to be meat but it is truly divine. And we have a couple of restaurants in the village that feature only burgers and they have some great tasting vegan selections. Hope they might latch onto this Impossible Burger craze so I can try one!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-50519679276428565792018-03-16T08:53:47.757-04:002018-03-16T08:53:47.757-04:00Ruthy, I hadn't heard about it before.

I love spring in the South. It comes on time and it's gorgeous. That is the only weather season I love in the south, but each year I have Spring Envy, watching the South bloom weeks before our grass even thinks of turning green! <br /><br />Missy, that's so strange and maybe cool about the burger... here's the funny thing from a farm perspective: These guys are totally processing a mix of substances together to pretend it's meat for health conscious vegans.... While those same health conscious vegans are protesting the use of genetically modified foods. The irony is a funny twist, right? <br /><br />I hadn't heard of this, but wow, they raised a storm about it last summer via Google... And you were able to get it at a restaurant and loved it... I expect there will be lots to say/hear about this over the next few years, but I wish I had some money to invest... because I think this could go viral. <br /><br />I'm not sure that it should!!! But I think it will.Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
