      Usually a carnivore - I've bought these a few times @$3. And in previous free promotions. Very tasty.

      • BLB1984 on 07/12/2023 - 17:27

        Do you purchase them when not $3 or free is the real question?

          +4

          As with other fast food places - only go when there's a good offer. Almost never have paid full price.
          As there are many other free or discounted food options… Why would I?

          These were $3 every time I've visited.
          Mainly go there for a free Burrito 🌯 when offered as member.

    The Mexicali Mince Taco is an absolute flavour bomb mixing Mad Mex’s special soy-based protein with tomato, cumin, onion, paprika, chillies, and garlic.

    • callum9999 on 07/12/2023 - 16:39

      Tough guys being too scared to eat soy because they think it will turn them into a woman (not you personally - just because you highlighted this) is probably my favourite vegan trope!

      • BlueGlass on 07/12/2023 - 16:50
        +2

        Soy based protein is often flagged as a 'group 4 ultra processed food', it's not as healthy as could be assumed.

          Not sure why you've been negged, fair comment I think. There is a common false equivalency between "vegan" and healthy". Easy to fall into the trap of assuming this kind of stuff is good for you because that's how they sell it. The reality is we're probably best to minimise ultra-processed food, vegan or not, which is most fast food and a lot of stuff from the "vegan" section of the supermarket (and the rest of the supermarket for that matter). Stick mainly to unprocessed and home-cooked veggies, plants, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and save things like this for an occasional treat if you like it.
          Lots of different kinds of vegans out there, some more focussed on animal rights, some on personal health, some on environmental impact, some a combination. For people who care about animal rights it's great that there are more options for plant-based fast food and convenience food, but we shouldn't let ourselves be hoodwinked into thinking that it's all intrinsically healthy just because it's vegan.

            @jonnyspizza:

            Lots of different kinds of vegans out there, some more focussed on animal rights, some on personal health, some on environmental impact, some a combination.

            That’s actually a common misconception. There’s one overarching, primary motivation — vegans are made of meat, and thus refuse to cross that red line over to cannibalism

          • callum9999 on 07/12/2023 - 21:48
            +2

            @jonnyspizza: I didn't neg it, and see it isn't at the moment, but the main reason I can think of is that it's incredibly boring having someone "reminding" the almost-zero number of people who think a fast food vegan taco counts as health food that it isn't. We know…

            I also can't speak to their motivations, but it's interesting that they feel the need to highlight the processed nature of the protein yet don't even mention the processed tortilla or the processed salsa. Perhaps it was purely innocent, but it lines up pretty well with the incessant whining you get on these posts (ironically often from people banging on about how vegans will never shut up etc.).

          even the traditional food habbits in many cultures call soya a 'dirt', not good for human body.

            @backupper1: Soya has been eaten for literally thousands of years in the East, indeed by Buddhist monks who routinely lived long into old age. Away with your drivel and nonsense.

    • us3rnam3tak3n on 07/12/2023 - 16:51

      The relevant figure would be 100% minus the carnivores. I would guess that would leave at least 98% of people who could eat this if only mad mex didn't taste like dog shit.

      While I wouldn't necessarily suggest you keep trying different brands given you seem happy to eat the real thing, saying you've tried "vegan chicken" is like saying you've tried "burgers". There is so much variation that you can't possibly judge the entire sector after eating it once, which includes products that taste virtually identical.

      Though admittedly the number of products that do taste virtually identical in Australia is terrible compared to places like the UK.
