        The patty is a TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) patty with a hint of beef.

        No idea what the other thing is, gravy toffee?

            They’re not great but you can recognize that they’re intended to be a hamburger.

            Sadly, there are even lower quality patties that are entirely TVP. They come as a perfect grey disk that don’t change color when cooked, the cross section looks like neoprene and it tastes about the same.

        According to the article

        The image showed a lunch tray that was largely empty with only a small portion of shredded meat and a folded tortilla.

        But I’d never imagine that grey slice of whatever could be edible.

          That quote is referring to the other picture in the article. The one that has a tortilla and shredded meat with it.
