    I understand it for terms that are unequivocally an animal product, like eggs and pork. But burgers and sausages can be made from so many things that it makes it really clear this is just a bribe for animal farmers. Even steak isn’t necessarily from cows since you can have things like tuna steak, so why would a plant steak be any different?

        I said it’s not a cow. Steak generally refers to cow meat but if we can use it for fish, why not plant-based foods too?

        Editing to add, OP seems to just be trolling everyone in the comments on the other threads so I’m just gonna block and move on .

        You never head a mushroom steak? And portobello burgers are amazing. The only difference is that it has a portobello instead of meat, but it’s obviously a burger. What should it be called?

          mushroom steak

          There is no such thing.

          portobello burgers

          There is no such thing.

          What should it be called?

          Heavily processed plant pulp usually does the trick.

            OK, you really are a troll. But how is a full, not even cut, hat of a mushroom (which is not even remotely a plant) heavily processed plant pulp? And more importantly, I asked about the whole burger. You called a bun, mayo, fresh tomatoes, lettuce etc. a heavily processed plant pulp, but when you add a patty of minced meat and other stuff, it fundamentally changes?

              By “troll” you mean someone who disagrees with you? Life must be full of trolls for you, sweetie 🤣

                “There is no such thing” is not an argument. Not responding to a direct question doesn’t give you any credibility either. I’m very much open to discussion, but what you do is not a discussion. Please respond to my previous questions if you’d like to continue interaction with me.

                  It is a statement of fact. You can call your own shit a “potato” but it doesn’t make it so - the same as calling plant processed pulp the same names as the real food does not make it so - and was rightly banned by European Parliament.
