Honestly I see no reason to eat this stuff ever unless I'm in a pinch. If I want a burger I'm not wanting something that looks or smells like meat just something with the same form factor as a burger.

Lately it's lentils and kidney beans with walnuts. Smash em all up and you got yourself a nice lil patty.

I make sliders this way with all the fixings and I just don't ever see myself wanting something more "realistic" haha
