I just don’t think the tech is there, yet. I’ve tried their meat balls and burger with very high hopes, but they all taste like those cheap soy-based Chinese snacks, less greasy, more expensive.
Meanwhile, I have like 20 tofu recipes that are cheaper and more importantly, way tastier. I don’t try to make tofu taste like meat; it’s just delicious when the recipe makes it shine on its own right.
There are so many vegetarian recipes around the world that doesn’t try to fake meat, and achieve superior result both in cost-effectiveness and taste, in my opinion.
And then, at some point, we’ll probably have the technology to synthesize meat in a more realistic way. The current soy-based mimicry, as much as I admire the initiative, just feels like an awkward product.
