Fake meat

Each to their own, but I don’t generally buy the whole ‘fake meat’ myself, unless for a bacon sandwich or the occasional cocktail sausage, but mostly because I would happily live off cocktail sausages and bacon sandwiches if given the choice, so I leave it out in order to continually challenge myself as a food writer. That said, it’s a handy reference point for new vegans, or even those who want to try to cut down on their meat intake. Some people might ask ‘why do vegans want to eat something that tastes like meat’ and instead I flip the question back at them: ‘with alternatives available, why would you choose the barbaric option?’
