Haven't tried these. I have had some Beyond sausages and Impossible hot dogs that were actually decent. On the other hand, I had some Lightlife (I think that was the brand name?) vegan hot dogs a few years ago and they were one of the most vile things I've ever had the displeasure of eating.

I know people have mixed feelings about faux meat products, but I can't see their improvement and availability as a bad thing.

yeah I'm a proponent of more plant food and I also don't think the taste argument holds up, especially because taste is so subjective

that being said, for burgers specifically, I think most people don't realize just how much of the flavor heavy lifting that fixings and condiments do. I remember making a lazy bitch college "meal" of black beans in a bowl with ketchup and mustard (the only condiments I had), and being mindblown that my bean bowl tasted like a burger. I regularly purchased meat back then, but that experience got me into cooking bean and other vegetable based burgers (certainly easier on the college kid wallet)

I don't like most copies, vegan food tend to be better when it is OK with being it's own thing. There's one bean based burger I really like, and and tons of stuff like falafel, which is just made to be good, not made to be a copy.

The meat ones are pretty bad, if not worse. The vegetarian (vegan?) meatballs on the other hand 👌
