I just spent ten minutes trying to figure out what the cutest breed of cow is, and just wound up feeling awful about the already miniscule amount of beef I still consume. Thinking it's time to call it quits entirely.
That's a great idea! There's massive health benefits as well. I went from omni to veggie about 9 years ago and I've got no regrets, some people still eat meat just eat more plant based. The "beyond meat" range is so meaty the first time I had it, I had to double check it wasn't meat.
Couldn't agree with you more! I absolutely love Beyond Meat products. My wife is a life-long vegetarian, and she's the reason I consume 90% less meat than I used to. It's equal parts idealogy and convenience. It got really annoying having to constantly cook up my own seperate portions for dinner. I kind of liked her veggie alternatives, albeit lacking in previous years, but then Beyond Meat dropped and completely changed the game. Now I prefer Beyond Beef over real beef. It's cleaner, it tastes better, doesn't have to be seasoned, and I'm not taking something's life from it because I wanted to taste it in my mouth.
Beyond Sausage has also been perfected recently, and I eat a lot of those. I find the newest formula to be indistinguishable from real Italian sausages. And as a bonus, I manage at a grocery store, so I can order in those Gardein Supreme Chick'n fillets/nuggets, or the Gardein Seven-Grain Tenders and purchase them at cost. Saves us a fortune.
Any other suggestions? Plenty of room in my freezer!
Omg beyond sausage is out? I'm gonna give that a go! I'm on a quest to find good veggie chorizo, best I've found is squeaky bean although Linda McCartneys are alright as a much cheaper alternative. I really like Birds Eye meatballs , they're not like meat but I think they taste great.
It's available in Canada, but I'm not sure about the UK. The large Italian sausages come in mild or spicy. We're not particularly big fans of the spicy variety, but mild is excellent. Not sure how they managed to simulate the somewhat dry and chunky inside of a pork sausage so well. There are also Beyond Breakfast Sausages, but I haven't tried them yet.
