Naraku4656 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 i ate something today and i had no idea what it was. website said "oh it tastes exactly like meat" and it was on sale so i thought why not i'll give it a shot and make it this week for dinner. doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't "taste like meat" idk why they have to say it does. it tastes fine without having to say OMG THIS IS SO MUCH LIKE MEAT YOU'LL NEVER NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengu Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 So vegitarian bacon is a thing, and I have often wondered why would there be such a thing. I mean either they’ve been a lifelong vegitarian and never tasted bacon before or they’re trying to be all hardcore veggie but still miss the delicious taste of bacon. Either way it defeats the purpose of keeping a strictly vegitarian diet if you have to eat substitute meat once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The closest you’d get to a decent vegan substitute for meat would be a portobello mushroom. Made a chimichurri from a mushroom and it turned out great. Lentils can work for some ground meat recipes like for enchiladas. There was one time I made tempeh that was good with marinade I used for bulgogi. Otherwise, I’d only trust meat alternatives that I can make at home cause premade tastes like plastic. Or the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Toulon Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I've tried many vegan meat alternatives and they are all pretty disappointing....If I ever decide to expel meat from my diet I will just eat vegetables that look like vegetables...I just enjoy it more that way. The vegan burger I had a few weeks ago tasted like boobsweat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengu Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 17 hours ago, Quackers said: How does it defeat the purpose? Does eating it somehow cause an animal to be killed for that food? Is it somehow as bad as eating red meat for you? A friend of mine made vegitarian “cheese steak” sammiches with wheat gluten seitan and non-dairy cheddar cheese. Essentially NOT a cheese steak sammich as there was no actual steak or cheese in it. Why not call it a wheat gluten and non-dairy cheese sammich since this is what it’s actually made of, calling it a cheese steak is a straight up lie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
