Went for brunch today at a plant-based joint and ordered the shakshuka - it came with two poached eggs that when you cut into them the yolk poured out and honestly tasted just like actual egg yolk. I was shocked. My partner ordered the benny and had the same poached eggs.

The albumin was ok, kind of rubbery but not bad but holy smokes eggs have really made it to another level now.

I do understand that for some people realism with respect to flavour and appearance is not a plus, that it reminds them of animal suffering in a way that they'd rather just eat a bean. Respect if that's you cool-bean I love a bean making two different types tonight. But it's great to have such a rich set of options to be vegan in a way that used to be so much more constrained.

Better living through chemistry!

Do you know what it was made with? My partner has a recipe that uses mung beans as the key ingredient in a fried/scrambled egg. They've also made a squash based egg yolk.

the liquid egg we get at work is mung bean based

No. It seemed factory made due to how dialed-in it was for the price point, but I didn't ask

There's a joint in Phoenix that served me a vegan egg so accurate I felt guilty eating it. The kid at the register showed me this and I felt less bad.
