      Yeah, it’s just plant based. Some of them are awful, other ones are shockingly good. Texture is usually pretty much the same. Basically like lactose free cheese now a days. 5 years ago it was plastic but now you can’t tell the difference.

        Example pizza with vegan cheese:

        This one is 50% Daiya smoked Gouda block and 50% store brand veg Mozzarella.

        Yeah. Some vegan cheese is ok on a burger. But the uncanny homogenous texture freaks me out on a sandwich. It’s a weird transition. Also. Gouda is addictive. Nothing can beat gouda.
