Enough KC Masterpiece would make a sawdust sandwich pretty tasty.

Just why do vegetarians go through so much trouble to make foods that mimic meat?

Because it is a religion based on a ethical decision so they are out trying to convert us, the remaining meat pagans.

It's easier to convert the pagans if you incorporate some familiar objects in the new religion.
(see Christianity for details. )

Vegetarians and vegans create foods that mimic meat because they want to be able to reproduce certain textural, nutritional or taste elements within traditional recipes without relying on animal products to do so. I think that is pretty simple and understandable.

My question is why do meat-eaters get so hysterical about it?

I actually really like a good veggie burger. But to me, it's not a replacement for a burger, it's a different type of sandwich.

My snarky comment above aside, my vegetarian wife hates the taste of meat or anything that tries to mimic it, but she loves bbq sauce and would probably love many of the recipes in a book like that.

For most people, there are only 3 flavor groups - ketchup, ranch and BBQ. Food is what you use to carry those flavors to your mouth. Vegans and vegetarians are not immune.

I don't think a lot of them know what shape real food comes in?

My niece is vegan, and I'm trying to teach her to cook, but she's damaged from growing up in WI (love me some brats, yo) and was taught that food comes in casing, is tubular, and made of meat.


I was a vegetarian until I was in the Forest Service and had to just eat whatever, and then world traveling where I ate what as there, as much as I could get.

So, I cook both.

So yeah........my vegetarian dishes don't mimic my meat dishes.

IMO the only bad thing about the vegan meat imitation things is that they are 100% processed robot turds encased in plastic, that's what gets me - have all the free-range handmade tofu pups you want, but enough with all the packaging and transportation !!!!

My 13 yr old bought a huge bottle the other day and came boundig into the kitchen like a puppy that found a bone. Remember when Tabasco sauce or even A1 sauce was considered spicey.


The whole "looks like/imitation meat thing" is for the people on the fence/ toying with the idea .

Make my "meat look/taste like a mushroom" - said no one ever

[mzilliox]
