There was a thread about it the other day so I thought I'd buy some and try it out. It'll never replace eggs for me because I fricking love eggs but I like trying novel foods. I had some spam I wanted to use up so I made a spam and "egg" scramble.
Cooking it was really easy. The bottle said to scramble it like eggs so I did. I poured in maybe half the bottle into some melted butter, eyeballing it looked like around the quantity of five large eggs or so but it shrunk quite a bit as it cooked. I sprinkled it with salt and pepper and added some shredded cheese like I would with eggs. When it was almost done I added in the already fried spam to heat it up. It cooked pretty much like you would expect from scrambled eggs though you absolutely need to use a nonstick pan. Even still it was trying really fricking hard to stick to the bottom. To finish it off I topped it with sour cream and Pickapeppa spicy mango hot sauce.
They nailed the texture, honestly I'm pretty impressed. It's almost exactly like scrambled eggs. I don't know how to describe the taste, it doesn't really taste like much. I'd call it inoffensive. Sort of like tofu but maybe less nutty. Very mild. I'd never eat it plain like I would eggs (I love the taste of eggs) but when you combine it with other things and put hot sauce on it the flavor pretty much disappears.
Overall I'm pretty impressed. Like I said before I love eggs and will keep eating them but if for some reason you're a vegan (lmao) this is nutritionally and texturally almost an exact copy of scrambled eggs.

Sure but what is the point? You can just break some eggs and beat them with a fork. How is this significantly more convenient than that if you still have to cook it the same way. Like at least if was like where you can buy pre-peeled hard boiled eggs I can completely understand that you've saved quite a bit of time, but this seems like kind of a useless shortcut.

There is none r-slur its just cool, that's why I don't fricking buy it. But now if I ever want to try it out of novelty I know how it is. Making protein dish substitutions is the cooking world's RGB lights
