Taku :

How do you like your hamburger?

Meiling :

I love it. It’s tasty. This is a beef hamburger,/right?

I can’t believe it!

T :

Do you know/about alternative foods? Plant-based meat is one of them.

M :

Alternative foods? What are they?

They are substitutes/for animal-based foods. Their taste and texture/are almost the same/as the original foods. Nowadays,/more and more people/enjoy eating them.

M :

Tell me more about the foods.

T :

There are many kinds of alternative foods. For example,/I sometimes see plant-based fish/at a restaurant. It’s used in a sushi roll/instead of tuna.

M :

Really? I’m interested in trying the sushi roll!
