I'm with you on this. It seems that the prevailing idea is that if we don't eat meat that we miss it or want a direct replacement. So they keep trying to make "fake meat". That might appeal to some people on the fence about it, but I haven't eaten meat in over 2 decades. I don't miss it. I don't want my food to taste like it. I don't want it to look like it. I want something tasty that an animal didn't have to suffer for.
It's interesting how tastes vary. I've been vegan for five years now but I still enjoy the food I grew up with. So I'm all for meat-like replacements. I would eat lab grown meat too if it became affordable. That said, I find looking at raw meat in the grocery store a lot more revolting than I used to, so I suppose that's similar.
I do understand where you're coming from though, if you grew up not eating meat or just have lost your taste for it, more options are always better. Unfortunately I think what they're providing already is a stretch to them, so I don't see them expanding alternative menues any time soon.
The real annoying thing is when you do find a veggie style pattie like you were describing... and it has egg in it.
