Vegan patties are a bit of a mixed bag. Don't get discouraged by not liking one. If you like burger king, try beyond burger. It's been a long time aince i ate meat, but that's exactly what i remember the taste like. If the patty is really cheap and looks "compressed" and has not much rexture, maybe atay away. I mean maybe you like it but damn, for me it's rough. Beyond beef also has minced meat now, which my girlfriend doesn't like because it tastes too much like beef.

I think going in expecring exactly what you are used roo is the wrong approach. We are creatures of habit, and sometimes it takes some time to break that habit. My nephew is a really picky eater and since he knows i don't eat meat, he's always sceptic. Once i made him nuggets and he was like: what are these? Not chicken i assume. I told him no, they are not chicken, they are from a cuban bird, he never ate, so he ate it and loved it. Which is in a way kind of sick, knowing he wouldn't have eaten them if he knew it wasn't some random animal, instead of something else. Like i don't miss meat at all, but even if i could pick now a good vegan burger and a good normal burger without it being problematic or whatnot, i would pick the vegan burger every time. It's also way easier to prepare, and way harder to fuck up, they are just always juicier.
