I’m still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but…

    I can imagine this tasting like actual spam since I find the vegan hot dogs and vegan Bologna actually taste just like the meat ones. It gets harder to replicate the meat taste as you get into ground beef and steak substitutes

      Agreed. In my experience, the more processed the original product is, the easier it is to replicate.

        Lucky for me. I’ve been eating Bologna sandwiches for lunch since I was 10 years old, it’s like my comfort food. I went vegetarian and just eat the vegan Bologna now

      I found plant burger patties that were damn near meat flavor wise, but they were hard for me to get cooked right. They were a little mushy.

        Impossible whoppers are pretty good. Impossible burgers from the store are too salty for me and leave a weird taste. I like the vegan chicken burgers though
