Stupid me thought they were saying the actual bowls were plant based so they were compostable. Nope. Got a beef (Norm would call it Beff) and a chicken. The beef is nasty. It's mushy and tasteless. Maybe there are better versions, but based on this, I'm not a fan. Oh and you don't even really save any calories with this mush.
Don't feel too stupid. I've almost bought them a couple times by mistake.
In my Kroger they have plant based food mixed right in with some of the others. Every once in awhile I get a hankering for cheap, easy to make Pad Thai or Chicken Tikka Massala. They only have a few of brands of that and at least one of them is plant based. IMO it's not labeled well at all (it's not obvious it's plant based without really looking at it). I've seen it on sale and thrown into my cart, then I'd look closer and think "what in the hell is this shit?"
I'm with everyone else. If I want "plants" then I'll buy some vegetables or beans. If I want something that tastes like meat then I want actual meat in it.
