This is more of a public service announcement.
Think of it as a recommendation and nothing more. No preaching. No nothing.
I would have liked to have read about this recommendation a while back as I searched for alternatives to meat.
I'd also like to add that I'm not a full-on vegetarian or vegan, but I've been trying to limit my meat imprint on the earth, so I've been experimenting with the options out there.
To date, the best and most convincing alternative to eating beef is a product by Gardein. The texture and flavor IS beef to me. Just had it in a meat[less] sauce lasagna and I swear to the gods I couldn't tell the difference. Like not at all. And I was TRYING to tell the difference.
So, if you've been curious about it, give it a whirl. I'm planning on trying the other varieties from this company. We've been BIG Morning Star brand vegetarian products people, but this is the first time the texture was the real deal and I didn't feel like I was eating a computer's interpretation of what meat must taste and feel like (similar to Seth Brundle's steak in THE FLY).
