Beyond Meat is fucking awesome. I eat more of that and Gardein products than I do actual meat anymore, and I still like meat. Pretty much just eating fish and the occasional burger at restaurants. The mild Beyond Italian Sausage is excellent now too. They reformulated it so well recently that my vegetarian wife will no longer eat it because it reminds her too much of real sausage.
For chicken alternatives, Gardein is still the clear winner. Their “Supreme Chicken” fillets and nuggets are good. I also really like their 7-grain tenders. But people have to go into alternatives willing to accept that it’s not a perfect match. You have to appreciate that it is its own thing. But the newer Beyond Italian Sausage could have fooled me.
