  • Is there a desire for a bleeding burger? I was given a Linda Mccartney pulled pork burger last month, and the (very impressive) pork texture almost made me gag. No more meat imitation for me.

  • I also thought it was far too meaty the first time I tried it. Have had it again a couple more times since then (they're always on offer!) and it has become progressively less offensive.

    Vegan fish fingers are still the superior frozen foodstuff, though.

  • I think the backers of such bleeding plant burgers have the fast food industry as their ultimate target market. Stuffing indolent cattle with soy protein then processing the resultant carcasses is very inefficient.

  • I don't think so, personally, I can't think of much worse.

  • They are aimed at carnivores who don't want to eat meat ( something like that )

  • I had one of those pulled pork ones on the BBQ last night - it was lovely. Mind you, I haven't eaten meat for over 30 yrs, so can't properly remember what the texture is like...

    Also not sure what the 'bleeding' thing is all about - point should be how good it tastes, rather than what it looks like.

  • I think a bleeding burger is a pretty good idea. Its obviously not for everyone, it sounds like you find it off putting if something is "too realistic". If it helps somebody transition to veganism by recreating their favourite food accurately enough for them not to miss it that can only be a good thing! It's good to see veganism becoming more accessible with places like Iceland doing decent vegan products.
