I am allergic to most meat, and the few types I can still eat I don't like to cook myself, because meat is something you need to make sure is cooked properly to be safe. So I end up rarely having it, and honestly, my life is no different. The rare times I do have it, it's great, I enjoy ribs, bacon, etc, but it's nothing I would get angry and defensive over.
I buy the beyond meat sometimes, and it's delicious as hell. I go to vegan restaurants, as I can guarantee my deathly allergy is not going to pop up there, and it's bomb ass food (usually. I find that some vegan places are -3/10, but others are 11/10 and their "meat" tastes 100% authentic and real, it's something you need to discover.).
I use some meat replacements for things where it is hard to get the consistency with just lentils- like for shepherds pie, and I like the one meatless sausage Gardien does, but for most things like burgers I don't want the authentic type meat, I want it to be as little like meat as possible, I just prefer veggies and beans. But I did use them regularly for about a year.
Have you tried sous vide cooking? Everything ends up cooked perfectly! Agreed though that Beyond Meat reminds me of a juicy medium-rare burger. Besides the price, it's a great option that I find myself eating more and more often.
That's interesting!
