I will admit that one of these is as pleasing to me as meat, so long as it has Tillamook cheddar cheese on it:



There is nothing I love more in life than a juicy cheeseburger. With these, I can pretty much eat cheeseburgers any time I want. I don't, but I could. In the interest of eating locally, I also substitute the local vegetarian restaurant's Sunburgers occasionally, but I do love Morningstar Farms burgers, corn dogs, chick'n tenders, etc. Yum.

And don't get me started on how much I love Quorn. You couldn't eat Quorn, Baraka, as it has egg white as a binder and therefore is not vegan, but because it's made of mycoprotein, it has a similar mouthfeel to meat, unlike many other meat substitutes.

Talk about a threadjack, but forgive me; I think it's important to address the role meat substitutes can play in a person's diet, even if they aren't vegetarian.
