    mushrooms for the win. But i kinda never understood this thing with copying meat food with substitutes. I mean if i’d want to have a meal with the flavour as artificial as it could be, i’d rather buy a pack of chips. In most cases it would also cost less.

      Meat products have already capitalised on successful food shapes. Round burger patties, sausages, bacon rashers. These are sensible and convenient shapes for meat to come in. It makes sense that vegan products should take advantage of existing and familiar shapes, because consumers intuitively know how to cook these shapes.
