The story of our story begins with a vegetarian and two mushroom geeks each on a journey to make meat like products for plant lovers. They stumbled upon a wise mushroom farmer who disclosed to them the ancient magic of the mushroom. Their incredible nutrition, their ability to cure disease, restore gut flora, and open minds, were just some of the extraordinary things they discovered. On a walk through the lush shroom fields, the wisdom of the mycelium revealed itself. It spoke of its amazing texture, umami flavours, and ability to make an incredible base for creating delicious, meaty food. In slowing down, they were able to hear the intelligence that comes from a measured pace. From this, heavenly slow-cooked meat alternatives were earthed. The moral of the story? There are a few. When you slow down, the finish line often comes to you. And when you try too hard to be meat, you end up getting burned. *Mic drop*
