It took TWO bites to make the decision to toss it?

Years ago, a friend invited us over to his home for supper. He said he was a vegetarian so he served lasagna with soy meat instead of hamburger. It was actually good, so I figured I would try to make it, just for S and G's. The soy meat cost more than hamburger so I gave up on that idea. Hamburger works just fine for me, and I also make my lasagna with sausage too. Regardless of health ramifications, I DO enjoy a greasy mushroom and Swiss burger. I won't ridicule folks that eat "impossible" burgers, but when someone wants veggies to taste like meat, it seems to me that they really wish they were eating meat. I've eaten a veggie hot dog when I was a kid and remember it as okay. But, would never chose a fake hotdog over a real one, if given a choice.

I doubt if I could be enticed to eat an "impossible burger." But, if we ever run out of beef, I would eat a turkey burger or chicken fillet......not a fake burger. Still trying to understand why folks want something that "tastes just like a real burger."
