''I am strongly against something but I will pretend I am doing it because it's really good''. That's a false comparison though. Vegetarians aren't strongly against the taste of meat. Very few vegetarians are vegetarian because they don't like the taste. They're strongly against killing an animal to get that taste A "fake meat" burger isn't pretending they're doing the thing they're against. It's the exact opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I tried a Mcplant a while back as I’d won it on some sort of promotion. It wasn’t offensive and not a million miles off beef flavour. It reminded me of a cheap burger van burger. 5/10, WB again if I had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond Meat burgers in the shop or independents are considerably better than the McPlant - they're not going to scratch the proper meat itch for someone wanting a steak or something, but in a big greasy burger loaded up with topping, it's more than good enough to scratch the itch for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has recently tried her first Mackies breakfast, and said the greasy McMuffin is horrible. I agreed, but it's not there to taste nice. It's there when you need it. Sometimes you need an egg that might as well be made out of plastic and a flavour-less hash brown. If you want something that tastes nice you don't look for it in McDonalds. It's like looking for delicious chicken in KFC. No. But, sometimes you end up eating it because the situation requires it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted 52 minutes ago VT Supporter Share Posted 52 minutes ago Linda McCartney's Mozarella burgers are the best "fake meat" burgers I've found. They're frozen but you can still BBQ them Delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. Do you accept the ads or go the adblock route? I used to block but that came to a screeching halt when I wanted to use a AppleTV or a Chromecast TV. No good way of avoiding ads on those so I caved in and paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are a few that make you watch ~17 seconds but if they appear at the start I just quick swipe and restart the video, usually getting a 5 second skippable the second time around. So the bits of ads I do have to avoid don't bother me. Certainly nowhere near enough for that amount of money to get rid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an ad blocker for when I'm on my laptop. It blows my mind that YouTube haven't yet put their own Ad Blocker Blocker in place As in, there's loads of sites you can go on that tell you you need to disable your ad blocker before you proceed. So it's obviously possible. So I'm not sure why one of the biggest websites in the world doesn't do that. There must be a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
