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.
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
Falafel can either be the most delicious thing you’ve eaten in a year, or a bland, dry mound of sadness, and there’s no in between.
I do find that a good sauce can mitigate overly dry falafel, but some are just better than others.
