Yves is really popular here in Canada. You can get it in just about every grocery store and some corner stores: http://yvesveggie.com/en/ http://yvesveggie.com/

I'm actually more curious about the lab grown meat as an alternative. It almost seems like that could catch up by the time anyone gets a veggie burger actually tasting like meat.

Judging by just the packaging and product range, that looks to be a year or two behind what's available in the Netherlands - though I guess it's just different as well, since we don't have that many things that resemble the deli slices. Still, I'd love to give them a try. And absolutely, I'm looking forward to see what lab-grown meats will become available, although I guess that taste will not be that surprising. If it's anything like regular chicken, then I'd still prefer the Vegetarian Butcher's chicken - it tastes differently, but better.

  Well I'm definitely still a meat eater, and will be for the foreseeable future— but still would love to visit the Netherlands and if I do I'll keep an eye out for that veggie chicken. Still high in protein?

    If you do visit the Netherlands and actually want to try it, they've actually opened a restaurant (I haven't been there, but I assume it's the best way to try it) in the Hague: https://www.devegetarischeslager.nl/restaurant https://www.devegetarischeslager.nl/restaurant That said, now that they've been acquired by Unilever, you might be able to try them in your own country before too long :) I'm not sure at what point something is high in protein, but [1] lists 21.4g per 100g. No added iron and vitamin B12, though, unfortunately.

      Good to know! I work just a block or two down from the Unilever Canada offices in Toronto. Hopefully they'll decide to bring it in.
