During the pandemic, plant-based meat consumption and media coverage exploded. Now, a host of trend pieces decry its demise. That shift is no organic accident.
Just eat some damn falafel, people - it’s not hard to make, it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than a plant, and bulk dry chickpeas are cheap as fuck and last forever.
As a meat eater I agree. Part of the backlash probably is the promise of the replacement patties tasting like meat - for me they absolutely do not. Falafel on the other hand is great.

Falafel doesn’t taste like a cheeseburger. Beyond burgers taste like tasty cheeseburgers.
Yeah, falafel sandwiches taste better

It is a bit tedious to make. I love it but dont make it often.
