Have been almost completly vegetarian for the last 4 and a half years and was pretty much a carnivore before that, so I feel this is as unbiased of an opinion as is possible.

The Beyond, Gardien, Impossible, etc fake chicken have more flavor, nearly indistinguishable texture, are just as juicy, and aren't greasy. At this point, I consider them better than regular chicken with the sole exception of fried chicken which was never my favorite but I can see the appeal of it.

I'll concede that the beef substitutes have a ways to go (I like them and they're not bad but they're not fooling anyone, either) but they're not the subject of this opinion.

I had one that tasted hella good, but the texture with how it was like cabbage or something folded up a bunch, it was like chewing a wad of toilet paper.

The most perfect meat substitute I have ever had was carrot bacon. Cut thin enough, cooked to crispiness and covered in seasoning and liquid smoke, it's indistinguishable from real bacon. It even kinda looks like bacon.
