Had Beyond a few times, it's really impressive. I'm not a vegetarian (sorry) but rather a meat reducer. Keep making stuff like this available and I and many people like me will have no more excuses.

    I really like fake chicken, but fake beef just isn't there for me yet.

    IMO:

    Fake chicken - almost indistinguishable in many cases

    MOST fake beef (especially the likes of Quorn which I quite dislike) is nowhere near yet, I agree. Beyond though? I'm really impressed, I can hardly tell.

    Fake pork i.e. veggie sausages - long way to go. Oddly enough Richmond seem about the best. Most are way too dense and heavy for my liking.

    Every day is progress though

    No prob. Veggie here, we're all just glad people are open to trying.

    If there's one hard rule I and others believe in, don't waste your food, especially the meat.

    Oh agreed, that's well ingrained in me and seems quite ingrained in British culture in general (I think it has wartime origins, but more because meat was expensive). I and everyone else I know, if we're out at a meal and getting full the first thing anyone does is start fishing around for the bits of meat to make sure they don't go to waste.
