I really like trying various vegan "meats" even though I'm not vegan myself. I enjoyed the planted "steak" (made in 🇨🇭) so much that I haven't felt the need to buy a "real" steak for years.

Recently Slovenia-based Juicy Marbles have gotten a lot of hype for their vegan meats decidedly marketed towards people who do not consider themselves vegans. The products are outrageously expensive, but this is an industry where I'm happy to be an early adoptee if it means more traction.

I wanted to sear their "loin" over a charcoal grill, but unfortunately it instantly fell apart into long "muscle" fibers. I wasn't able to cook it on the grill and we ended up putting the entire loin back in the fridge comes halfway through. Luckily we had enough salad and veggie sausages to feed everyone, but considering the price that was a real letdown.

On the other hand, this morning I whipped up a quick BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, plum jam, sugar and spices and turned the entire thing into a pulled pork sort of affair.

That worked exceptionally well:

Können wir bitte mal darüber reden, wie geil Juicy Marbles sind - und leider auch wie unfassbar teuer? 😩 Aber ich hatte heute Abend die Ribs, liebevollst glasiert mit selbstgemachter BBQ-Sauce und die Dinger sind so gut? Muss jetzt leider meine linke Niere verpfänden gehen...

Heute das erste Mal einen Wellington Braten gemacht mit dem whole cut loin von juicy marbles.
Das hat super geklappt und noch besser geschmeckt 🤤

This was the most convincing #vegan steak I have ever had. Texture, flavour, even colour (mostly). Incredible. Can be found in the Citymarkets in Finland.

Heute gibt es keinen Kartoffelsalat und Würstchen. Heute gibt es #JuicyMarbles Whole-Cut #Loin #plantBasedMuscle - mal sehen mir schwebt eine süße Feigen-Marinade mit dick Kräutern drum herum und dazu Ofengemüse mit einer selbst gemachten braunen Sauce vor. Dass das nur in #Slowenien mit Import zu uns produziert wird, ist traurig.

Wer den Anblick von nachgemachten Fleisch nicht mag, nicht klicken. :-)

I'm not a big fan of getting food delivered via DHL Express. But at least still less carbon than from a dying animal. #goVegan #vegan #sundayDish

> At last! The latest fruit meat of our labour: plant-based ribs…with edible bones. Yes, these vessels of pleasure may be the most succulent chapter in Marbles’ “meatology” to date. So succulent, we struggled to describe them...
