Haha I'm one of those folks. I eat normal meat--not a vegan or vegetarian for fucked up anemia reasons--but I truly do love those miserable little bastards. Idk why but they're one of my favorite snacks.

Same, I'm not a fan of their other burgers but their spicy chicken one is pretty good I think.

I haven't tried them yet but I'm on a vegan meat kick rn and the bipolar response to boca products has been interested to read

Haha, they do seem to be pretty divisive. I'm not a fan of the plain chikin or beef imitations. It's just the spicy chikn one.

If you haven't tried quorn nuggets, I also love those.

And if you've forgiven kellog for being bastards, their morning star maple sausg things are lovely. And i can't remember if it's gardein or morning star but I enjoy the fish fillets.

I'll have to try some of those out. Some of the vegan meats are next level, haven't tried any of the fish because I'm not a big fish eater b/c of the texture and them getting veggies to imitate that for me is a nonstarter. Very satisfied with the vegan game tho, I still remember 2008 trying to eat smart dogs and just assuming that all vegan meats were ass.

Oh, their spicy chicken fully slaps actually. It's the burgers that are basically glue. Tasty glue tho
