I have some currently sitting in my fridge. Do they taste meaty? I also have the fishless goujons if anyone has tried them.
I didn't think they tasted of meat? Then again its been 37 years since I ate meat so maybe I've forgotten the taste

My local Sainsburies didn't have the new mince and burgers in stock but they did have a bunch of new vegan options. One was this, a Goodfella's falafel pizza:
I've got to be honest i was very sceptical about it - thought it would be too dry - but it was actually really tasty.
I've had the No Bull's a couple of times now and I like them. I think they taste meaty, however it's been a good thirty years since I had a meat burger so maybe I've forgotten. Hopefully if they become more popular the economies of scale should bring the price down a bit although at £1 per patty I guess I shouldn't really complain too much.
Ive had the No Bull ones several times. I like the texture of them. It's this stuff in my fridge I haven't yet tried. £3 for two smallish vegan steaks. Hoping they don't taste meaty.
Ah, ok, my bad. I haven't tried them, seem a bit pricey to me.
Isn't that the point of these alternatives, to taste as near as damn it to the "normal" burgers?
You're hoping they don't taste meaty?
Fair enough, whatever floats your boat, although I'm still a bit confused.
I never said I want the texture exactly like meat. I said it's about texture,as in I prefer my veg Al dente as well.
Ok, cool. The thing is though, veggie burgers are called "burgers" for a reason, it's because they're mimicking the real thing. People who enjoy the taste but not the ethics of the "real thing" can eat them relatively guilt free.
lol, well in a way it will be a "whatever floats my boat" in the sense that taste is always going to be subjective. Most of the veggie burgers I've had have tasted ok to me and some not. I haven't eaten "the real thing" for over 30 years so it's hard for me to compare any of the mock meats to what I ate back then as a meateater. As long as it tastes ok to me and it's and it's reasonably priced then I'll give it a go.
Yeah I suppose I'm being a bit fussy. It's just that I thought that £2 for the No Bull's was a bit expensive and this one is another quid on top. I've got used to Linda McCartney prices. Anyway I will probably try them one day, and if I like it I may spoil myself once in a while.
Save your £3 Paolo, had it tonight. Enjoyed the tender stem broccoli and green beans more. Might do the remaining one in a bun with a shed load of fried onions.
So what was your verdict on the taste and texture? Sounds like you thought it was a bit meh. The No Bulls are alright imo. I'll give the Beyond Burgers a try once they are available if they are reasonably priced. It's great to see an increasing amount of choice. Things are looking up.

Bland as bland can be. Decent texture. Not a patch on the No Bull burgers.So what was your verdict on the taste and texture? Sounds like you thought it was a bit meh. The No Bulls are alright imo.
