As a meat eater, these recreations are a joke. They can just about compete with chicken nuggets. I don’t like nuggets. So I’ve come to regard them as inedible. Same goes for vegan “cheese”. Bleurgh.
And the thing is, I love falafel. There’s bound to be plenty more plant-based patty things. Veggie dishes that don’t pretend to be something they’re not are delicious. Give me baked onions, baba ghanoush, and celery all day.
It could be. I eat meat, and my guess is that manufacturers label things as "meat", "milk", and so on, is to imply they can be used as replacements for those in certain circumstances.
I can also see why some people wouldn't like them. Take almond milk. To me, it's pretty good as a milk replacement in most cereal, but there are some where it kinda tastes off and dairy milk tastes great. I imagine veggie meat is similar.
Also a meat eater, and the impossible burger is great - certainly way better than many cheap meat burgers I've eaten. Not as good as a premium or homemade burger though, I agree.
However, it's early days. These products have only just started to be made in the last couple of years. It's hardly surprising they are not yet perfect.
