I eat meat about once a week—pure economics. I stretch that with some pancetta—lot of taste in small volume. Don’t consider “plant based meat substitute” {shudder}
I used to eat meat a lot years ago… now I hardly eat it but love a good old fashioned BBQ.
This plant based meat… a couple weeks ago… after the gym I felt peckish… I had a fruit before for Brekky…
I decided I felt like being naughty and stop at red rooster for fries with gravy!
Went to go in and the door was locked due to being understaffed
So next to them was Hungry Jacks…. I went in… then I see this new type burger in brioche bun…
I sat down…then took a couple mouthfuls … I wondered what was wrong with my taste buds… I couldn’t taste the meat… I thought my pre covid problem of having lost my taste had come back to haunt me!
No… it was that horrible whatever it was … I felt like I was doing my constitution a disservice.
I felt weird and regretful and it isn’t cheap!
Made a vow never again… and I won’t tell my son becoz he would tell me off for going in to eat “poison”
So ssshhh secret squirrels …keep this confession to yourselves here… don’t dob me in
