Even if you don't mind, the longer you give up meat the less interesting it is as a flavor.

I think there's a curve to this.

When I first became vegetarian there were no fake meat options. If you got something that looked or tasted like meat it was because there was meat in it. Gross and nobody wanted that.

But after 20+ years being vegetarian, it's REALLY nice to have some other options. I still enjoy a garden burger or black bean burger if it's the only non-meat option but I can't remember the last time I bought it in the store. The rise in popularity of vegetarian foods and all the fad diets have made it so there's tons of options now.

My meat eating friends all love both Beyond and Impossible. A few actually prefer it to a standard burger.

Now if we can just teach restaurants how to cook them properly...
