They are nasty excuses for food. I used to be a food scientist at a major food company (in their meat processing plant....hot dogs, lunch meats, sausage, etc.) and you don't want to eat them. If you like the idea of meat on a stick covered in pastry, make your own for best results (make sure you use "gourmet" hot dogs too, Omaha Steaks has good ones).

Yes, I am a teacher now. Before that I used my degrees in chemistry and biology in the position of food scientist. I tested raw product, finished product, old product, etc. for microorganisms, nutritional content, etc. I also did studies on shelf life and came up with possible solutions to food specific problems.

Also, cooking vegetarian mince and 'chik'n" pieces is a darn sight quicker, easier and less prone to giving me food poisoning. And very, very tasty.
So there.

Well, I can't speak for all vegetarians, but I know why I eat meat-alike products. The reason I gave up meat was because I don't feel I need to kill animals to feed my hunger. That said, I did (and probably still would) enjoy the taste, smell and look of meat, so if I can buy a product which resembles meat in every way except the animal-product way, why shouldn't I buy it?
Also, cooking vegetarian mince and 'chik'n" pieces is a darn sight quicker, easier and less prone to giving me food poisoning. And very, very tasty.
So there.![Sneaky](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sneaky.gif)

Meat-alike sounds horrific. I like curd burger better.
I also refuse to buy turkey "bacon" and fake bacon bits.
