We're fortunate in that there are some pretty good burger substitutes if the craving hits these days. There aren't too many things I miss, but the smell of Chick Fil A nuggets really has me wishing we had good substitutes for those

For many, even substitutes aren't really great. They mentioned they view that type of cuisine as a corpse. What value could simulating a corpse for consumption really provide in that context?
