So buy yourself a box of Boca Burgers and give 'em a try. Tell us how
much you think they taste like meat.

Maybe this fake "steak" will be better. Who knows? It's going to be
sold in the UK at Tesco so I won't have a chance to try it. Maybe some
posters in the UK will be willing to give it a taste and report back.

I rarely go to Tesco but if I'm passing one on the mainland I'll try
to find the Vivera thing.

Once it launches next week I'm sure there will be plenty of media
reviews.

Amazon is notorious for this sorta thing. Worst product I ever bought

I can imagine that one day, they'll get it right. They're already
growing animal cells on their own, without an animal attached. And
with growing overpopulation, they might have to think of something
more efficient than breeding animals to eat.

And in every evolution, you have individuals who are ahead and those
who stay behind. I think I know what rfc mainly consists of, also
considering the average age here.

That's why they're still trying to do better. That's what the article

No, that had better be outsourced, so we can just go to the

Yes, it's embarrassing. It's how they justify their behaviour. Just
saying that eating meat unavoidably involves animal cruelty is
considered preaching here. You'd think that was a plain fact that
everybody could agree on.

The hatred of the meat eater for imitation meat is almost religious.
If an imitation meat tastes good, it tastes good. If it doesn't, it
doesn't. Don't make it bigger.

Just so you know - lobsters taste kind of weird. I suggest that you carry on the course you've been following.

Yesterday I had some raw octopus in a wasabi sauce. Raw octopus has a sort of crunchy texture. It tasted fine but that slimy texture was fairly off putting. Evidently, it's a new thing that's going around.

Like the trumpster in the white House, I have NO desire to change!

I've never wanted to eat octopus.

I had a roommate, many years ago, who was heavily into organ meat.

I LET him eat what he wanted, and never asked to share his tongue,
brains, or other disgusting stuff.

I don't know how your tropic lobsters taste but I suspect about
the same. "Maine" lobsters are fairly bland imo. Good but you can
tire of them quickly if you eat a lot. I always choose other
shellfish first.

The giant leaf looks like shiso. If that's the case, it's edible.

That lemon slice should have been a wedge so it could be squeezed and
the kitchen should have removed the pits. What are those white
threads under the leaf?

Looks like very finely shredded radish. Either daikon or Korean
giant radish.

Looks too glossy to be radish... at first I thought it was spaghetti
squash but not quite... could even be some kind of Oriental noodle. I
don't know, that's why I asked... anyone else wanna take a guess?
Could be bean sprouts with their heads and tails circumcised.

I'm in a ****y mood today... planned to get the mowing done but it's
pouring rain... also unseasonably cold.

I didn't take that picture and had my wasabi tako in a plastic cup. If I did have that leaf, I'd just leave it. Some people would wrap the tako in the leaf and eat it. I don't much care for the taste of those things. They look really nice though.

I'm not a big fan of octopus - especially when it's raw. The Koreans will eat that stuff while it's still alive so I guess I can't complain.

Shredded daikon is a ubiquitous Japanese garnish and is often served with raw fish. Daikon, shoyu, vinegar, salt, wasabi, are often eaten with raw seafood. This was done because of their anti-bacterial properties. That's what was used back in Japan before modern day preservatives. These days, it's just for flavor.

Grated daikon is often served with fried foods such as tonkatsu or grilled saba. I love grated daikon with fried foods! Grated cabbage is also typically served under fried foods to absorb the grease. I guess it has more class than paper towels.

Which reminds me of the only dirty joke my mom ever told me. I'm sure
she didn't get it, but I did.

Why did the bull drink Metrecal?
Because he wanted to get into a tight Jersey.

That's a sixties joke folks. You're welcome.
