I too had soy burgers in elementary school, at least in the early 80s. I loved them. Later on they switched to these nasty gray slimy things which I assumed were real. The way people describe White Castle (never gone there). Maybe they were.
Morning Star is the most prominent brand here so that’s what I go with. They’re hit and miss for me, but my favorite is the sausage links. Taste just like Brown and Serve and I can eat a box in one day. And the veggie burger which has little chunks of veggies inside. Meatballs were good too. The chicken patties taste like cardboard to me, and the hot dogs well I’ve been getting better at making them edible. I liked real chicken, turkey, and sausage but never was a fan of beef especially steak. Another thing about the plant based meat is I can actually eat it, the fibers in real meat get hung up in my esophagus and give me bowel problems.
As far as misleading products, this cheese I get from the vegan section. Called Go Veggie. Would think plant based. It’s good because it’s similar texture to velveeta. But reading the ingredients it says contains milk. It’s just lactose free cheese. I can handle it that way but I’d prefer to find an actual plant based cheese that melts.
The thing about Kansas, sounds like a place not too far from here. Only supermarket within 30 miles in any direction and always having big sales especially on meat and junk food. Rural area with lots of farms around. They carry zero plant based alternative products, except soy baby formula. Since I’ve been seeking plant based alternatives I won’t go there anymore. I can check their inventory online to see if they will ever come around.
I am glad to see more plant based things at certain other stores around here. Like I found an ice cream that was made from black beans and low sugar and was better than real ice cream to me.

I’ll eat the boca chicken patties because I can doctor them up with the bun and all the fixins but not the nuggets.
. Often in the meatless part of the freezer they mix in organic meats, and gluten free stuff
