plant based meats (impossible, beyond, gardein, etc)

i don't actually like beef burgers all that much and am not a fan of ketchup, yellow mustard or mayo.

also i like the beyond burgers because i can eat them at room temp after they have been sitting there for a while which is how i eat dinner several nights a week at work. they feed us at work but i can't eat restaurant food 3x/week or i will die.

Ooh Ethiopian burger

Xps I agree about the Beyond and Impossible burgers - they taste pretty incredible the first time but I find I can’t eat them very often or that “off” taste starts to be really dominant.

Trader Joe’s has a ground beef that’s pretty good in a spaghetti bolognese or similar.

Good old tofu is honestly great - freezing and thawing super firm tofu gives it a great texture and it takes marinades/sauces really well.

I tried the Fynd (sp?) patties awhile ago and thought they were awful. Very weird chemical flavor.

Ive got to the point when i want to make a burger-y sandwich i'll steam and pan fry a tempeh slab. Or for open faced sando will season and pan fry tofu. I love that these alternatives exist just don't feel like eating alot of it.
Yes to freezing tofu
And that tj's beef is also fine in a chilli imho
