They taste better cooked anyways, lots of umami once you get the juices collecting in the gills. It's a very steak-like experience...

- fogihujy 6y agoHad no idea about cancerous effects, but the taste is amazing. As someone who eats meats regularily, my favourite vegan burger is with a grilled portabello in it - it beats all the over-processed stuff they sell nowadays.
- oblib 6y agoHave you had shiitakes? I love portabellos too but shiitakes are just amazing. I have to think they'd made an awesome vegan burger. Just the thought makes me want to try that.
- fogihujy 6y agoHaven't tried making a burger with them. I'll add it to the todo list for this summer. :D
- pengaru 6y agoAgreed, processed meat substitutes are a solution looking for a problem. Mushrooms are already basically meat.
- cameronh90 6y agoI don't like mushrooms. Texture is too weird for my autism. So the meat substitutes are good for me...
- pibechorro 6y agoMushrooms = actually nutritional. Fake meat = highly processed oils which are not. Just because you are on the spectrum does not mean junk food is healthy, kindly from another autistic.
- cameronh90 6y agoI didn't say it was healthy.
- jraph 6y agoTo each their own, that's the definitive answer for me. I am happy to have both options anyway.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoWith all due respect, what do autism and texture have to do with each other?
- cameronh90 6y agoAutistic people often have sensory issues that lead to strong aversions to various types of food (among other things). Very commonly autistic people dislike banana
- mleonhard 6y agoMushrooms have very few calories and little protein or fat. A person becomes hungry again soon after eating mushrooms. The only thing they have in common with meat is umami flavor.
