environmental issues news 在 Food of Hong Kong by Epicurushongkong Facebook 的精選貼文
🌱 New Plant Based faux Luncheon Meat with Fried Egg Bun 新餐肉煎蛋包。A fair bit of controversial comments & news surrounding Faux Meat & this Product lately in Hong Kong, especially by those who must have been asleep whilst the rest of the World is working out how to tackle the Sustainable Meat & related Environmental issues for 7.8 Billion homo sapiens, roughly 85-90% of world population consuming Meat 🙈🌍.
As I said on Facebook, who cares if it doesn't taste like Real Ibérico Pork or Beef? That's not even the point. Any meat eating Carnivores would by default 100% choose 'Real' meat for taste alone. Fact a lot of carnivores are consciously picking an Inferior Tasting product, like applying a Nicotine patch to quit a smoking habit, is a conscience choice (does this even need further explanations, Demand vs Supply ultimately dictates the equilibrium on the market. So it's not even an issue worth raising about, especially for non Vegetarians criticizing others)
My own taste verdict on Plant based Luncheon Meat is that it is too salty 太鹹, and I prefer it thicker to compensate for lack of real 'meat' flavor, but only McDonald's HK has the thicker slabs. My prediction of this developing, engineered product, is that Omnipork Luncheon Meat will inevitably evolve into Version 2.0+ ~ Less Sodium, Less Saturated Fat, Better textures or sizes hopefully etc! 🕳️🐉 I shall add that criticizing this particular product is rather weak as a basis of a statement, as beginning with Burgers or Sausages, faux Beef, Chicken or Pork meat products is where the majority of the convertible market lies, anyway 🐷
