Analysis by the Good Food Institute (GFI) reveals that plant-based products like milk and meat alternatives are now mainstream in the EU
Thirty-seven percent of households in Germany, 33 percent in the UK, and 19 percent in Spain purchased plant-based meat at least once last year. Over 33 percent of households in Germany and the UK and 40 percent in Spain bought plant-based milk at least once.
Certain categories are also making further progress towards price parity with animal products, a long-awaited benchmark of success for the sector. For example, brand-name plant-based cream products are typically cheaper than dairy in the UK, while Germany’s private-label plant-based milk is 13 percent cheaper than equivalent private-label dairy milk.
The prices are still insane in Hungary. You mean you fed a cow multiple times the amount of plant matter, milked it, pasteurized it, have to sell it within a short window, and that costs half or more like a third the price of oat milk? Ok.
Evil omnivore here from /all - does anyone care to recommend a vegetarian or vegan sausage available in the U.S. ? I've tried a few but none were really palatable.
Trying to wean the family from eating so much meat but not loving most of the direct alternatives. Need to start looking at meals that aren't "replacing" meat so much as just not having it, maybe.
On the subject of malk, I liked oat though it was pretty thin. Fine in cereal but only ok in my tea. Almond is fine but even the unsweetened ones tasted sweet to me? Don't love how much water it takes either. Haven't tried soy or pea yet.
Depends on where you get oat milk, as it's quality is weirdly variable. It's generally a pretty good creamer, though it I had to drink it by itself I'd much prefer soy or maybe pea based milk (pretty dang close in both texture and taste).
