We have been graced with @impossible_foods and @beyondmeat, now offered in an every increasing variety of outlets. I had never been to @clubmeatballs before today, as as a vegetarian there wasn’t much (anything on offer) for me. Club Meatballs recently started selling a whole menu of meatless versions by @impossible_foods recreating some of their best known dishes without the meat. Today I decided to give them a try and boy, it’s as good as they say! I ate meat up until 3 years ago, and can honestly say I’ve not tasted anything so meat-like in those three years. It actually bleeds when you squeeze it (see my stories if you’re interested), gross but certainly realistic! Here’s to the future of vegetarianism!!

One thing I would like to say is that I often see people commenting on these meatless products asking why vegetarians want to emulate eating meat. I find it shocking that people don’t understand. I am a vegetarian due to ethical reasons, I want to reduce my effect on the planet and environment. I am also uncomfortable with animals suffering and dying purely for my consumption. But let’s be clear: I don’t dislike meat. Meat eaters seem to assume we all dislike the taste of meat. Some vegetarians maybe (and others who perhaps claim to hate it now but probably deep down would love a bacon butty!). I used to love a good steak, a duck pancake (my most missed meat), a British pork and leek sausage. I just CHOOSE not to eat them now. If I can have something therefore that emulates closely the taste and texture, without destroying the planet or killing an animal - amazing! Also, to those people who question why fake meats are even being produced - the hope is perhaps that more meat eaters will go vegetarian if they can have an alternative that tastes as good. It’s not rocket science to understand surely??
