And what about vegan chicken and fish alternatives?
A fast food chain and a restaurant have taken out the awards for best vegan chicken, and fish alternatives, respectively.
KFC’s chicken alternative, the Original Recipe Vegan Burger, is made by Quorn Foods. KFC then coats the patty in its 11 Herbs and Spices mix, before serving it in a sesame bun with lettuce and vegan mayonnaise.
The burger contains 450kcal, with an impressive 18.47g protein. On the fat, sugar, and salt side of things, the burger contains 18.7g fat, 5.7g sugar, and 2.91g salt.
Another prize-winning chicken alternative comes from Pukka, which sells a Vegan Chicken & Mushroom Pie. Soy protein vegan ‘chicken’ pieces are encased in puff pastry, alongside sliced mushrooms and a savoury vegan creamy sauce. The product is approved by The Vegetarian Society.
Forgan’s Broughty Ferry restaurant, located in Dundee, Scotland, serves up the best fish alternative, according to PETA. The ‘Battered Vegan’ is coated in beer batter and served with thick-cut chips, tartare sauce, lemon, and crushed peas.
