What I used to eat in yeshiva was not a נקניקיה qualifier or not  :P

Tell us a little more about your yeshiva food.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Is that arguing with me or proving my point?
IDK, last time I checked it was the consumer Electronics Show. I'm not sure what a burger is doing there other than shtick/hype. I find it hard to believe that nobody is thinking "WTF is this doing at CES?" but is too afraid to say tha out loud.

Did you watch or listen to the video in the Forbes link above? They make several efforts to explain how food is actually the original TECHNOLOGY (yet that doesn't say anything about ELECTRONICS).

Um yeah, that's a bit of a stretch.

On that note, I wonder how this sits with the Organic/non-GMO crowd. I haven't looked into it but I assume they're using GMOs.

Tell us a little more about your yeshiva food.
The hotdogs bounced so high they broke all the laws of physics.
The chickens kept sefira all year round.
The pasta was more of a liquid then solid.
They said the eggs were from Green chickens.
The oatmeal stayed hard and the cereal came soft.

I'm not who you think I am.

And this was circa...?

I don't recall hotdogs in Yeshiva, and even though it might have been before I totally cut salami out, I remember that whenever salami was served I'd go to the cook to get the chicken she used for the chicken soup - even that was a better alternative (this was in the US).

Improvement is a start! Did you try it with anything else? Curious how it would taste in a lasagna or other dishes where it isn’t the main part of the dish.

Only tried it as a cheeseburger.
1.0 was barely edible, while 2.0 is actually enjoyable. I'd take a real burger any day, but they're progressing nicely.

I'd imagine it may be really good in a lasagna or meatball.

Chop it and top a pizza with it. I do that often with the mock ground meat.
