> Side note: I propose that vegan meatballs be called peatballs! (Peat is made out of plants, correct? I'm not super knowledgable about that stuff.) Yeah, but peat isn't something you'd want to eat. Its amazing to smoke whisky in, though. But, if you want to 'veganize' those meatballs, mushroom is a common savoury alternative, I'm told a lot of the impossible burger type ventures are opting on PEA protein: so may just name them PEAballs? I worked at a Vegan/vegetarian place for 1/2 year just to get more rounded before I went off to Michelin star stuff, and its rather labour intensive to make this stuff just taste 1/4 as good as meat. So my question was always: why not just serve better quality, locally sourced, organic/grass fed beef? And just eat less of it; a 50/50 mixture of beef to mushroom yields an amazing juicy, umami filled burger.
