Honestly, if we all ate like peasants on plant based diets 29 days of the month
tbh, most peasants operate at a subsistence level, and tend to eat a fairly repetitive and monotonous diet that mostly reflects what's in season or can be stored with minimal spoilage.
otoh, Americans and other westerners can easily afford to eat a diet that not only mixes peasant dishes from cultures all over the globe, but also tends toward the 'upscale' end of peasant diets, more like the types of foods eaten on holidays or special occasions. When it come to eating "like peasants", we have it easy.

the impossible burger has a weird taste/texture that's somehow closer to pork floss. a good falafel does a better job right now of filling in for beef than the uncanny valley of the impossible burger, but maybe they'll get better.

the beyond burger is better

the impossible burger is superficially more like a real burger, but yeah I actually prefer the beyond as an actual food product
the beyond sausages are fantastic

beyond sausages are so good, they freaked my wife out bc they were too realistic and so she gave them all to me which i happily obliged bc realism is not a problem for me
