As someone who was a vegan for a short stretch years ago, I can say that by far the best vegan food is the stuff that doesn't pretend to be meat and instead embraces what it is. I never really understood the logic behind fake meat because it'll never been close to as good, and if anything just reminds people how great meat tastes. Think of it from the other direction, their isn't a market of meat products designed to taste and feel like fruit and veggies.

[@greenfoliage]

Agreed! Not a vegan but I have strong preference for vegetables. There are plenty of dishes in Asia that are highly flavorful, rich in texture, spicy or savory, and still vegan friendly. I never understood the obsession with replicating meat, especially when from what i know, veggies are delicious!

[@caffeinatedpossum]

For that end bit about the flavor stuff, that's mostly because we do live in a meat-dominant society. I for one am a meateater and highly prefer them to vegetables, but that's more of an ASD thing for me, very picky about textures and whatnot.

[@atenindustries1131]

Yes. I like to use plant proteins, like soy protein or seitan, but those are meat substitutes, not pretenders.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

i would eat Meat-based Lettuce tbh

[@OrdericNeustry]

I think a big reason for vegan meat is that it could end up being more economical and healthy than real meat. For myself, I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I'd absolutely use vegan meat if it's good enough for what I need.

To be fair, could imagine this working well in a sauced up pulled "pork" sandwich perhaps? Something where you can mask the dryness of artificial meat while making the most of the texture, and probably chucking in a whole bunch of spices because plant-based "meats" quite often are flavourless or taste processed.

[@mostneuter]

considering their reactions, you would need something to completely cover the taste as well

[@amanawolf9166]

I'm almost wondering what would happen if you sent it through a meat grinder and marinated the... umm, "meat" in something like apple cider vinegar with some garlic and onion powder, some mustard for tang + some hot-sauce. The main issue I see is that it's not just the taste but texture. As far as the "taste processed" part, that's 100% correct from what I've read. There's an article I read a while back that talked about how plant-based meats aren't that much healthier than their regular meat counterparts. They can use excess amounts of unhealthy flavoring additives to give it the texture/look of meat while lacking in the flavor department.

[@JWPSmith21]

Impossible burgers are honestly better than most actual burgers. My girlfriend and I did a taste test with both, and it tasted better. Obviously if you get crazy high quality meat it'll eventually be better again, but I was shocked by how good it was. Our go to for burgers are usually impossible burgers now.

It can do a really good job of imitating ground beef as well. I don't look at this as a "replacement for meat" as much as I do as I look at it as a different preparation of something I already enjoy.

Make a Collab with sauce stache and let him cook vegan meat substitutes for you, please that would be so crazy, this man is a meat substitute genius!

[@johnchiz54]

^this! I'm about to go over to sauce stache and try to get him to reach out to Guga. I have made some of the same vegan recipes Guga has and cringed at how bad he messed up the process. I have made some seitan that has fooled several of my carnivore friends into believing its meat. they know it isn't cow but they sit there and guess what meat it is. preparation and presentation are key. I am honestly tempted to fix some and ship it on dry ice to Guga with instructions

[@tacocat1921]

I love sauce stache, it would an amazing opportunity if they did a collab

[@brucetidwell7715]

No snark... have you actually tried any of his ideas? They sound good, and occasionally he makes something that almost looks like meat but they are too complicated to be worth the trouble (for a meat eater). Of course, he and his wife claim they taste exactly like meat because that's what vegetarians do. I stopped watching him just because I was never going to order all of his chemicals and spend hours just to satisfy my curiosity.

The biggest mistake with all those vegan options is that they are trying to sell it as a meatlike substance and substitute. Some of it tastes real good, but when compared to meat it is bound to disappoint. Should be marketed under another name and category entirely IMO.... What I don't know, but there most be some marketing whiz out there who can think of some name that makes you salivate while describing what it actually is! What do you think they should name it? :D

Imagine never being able to eat a steak ever again! You'd find a way, trust me! lol I'm glad that this exists, and I'm glad you guys are willing to give it a shot. I have really bad ulcerative colitis, so I can't always have beef. Things like the imitations are nice for people like me who miss eating beef, but can't eat it, not necessarily because I'm vegan, but because it causes me a lot of physical pain. I don't suggest trying to imitate the real thing with it however. Like a lot of people have mentioned, you have to mask it with other things. I find that imitation ground beef works really well for tacos, and things of that nature. It sucks having to have fake cheese and fake meat, but a taco is a taco. The burgers are also pretty good too, again, if you could never have a burger again, you'd still find a way.

There are a million traditional, vegan recipes from all over the world that are delicious. I think most vegan cooks run into trouble when they try to make meat dishes instead of just making the best dishes they can with non-meat and non-dairy stuff--at least, that was the change for me in my own cooking of vegan stuff. This was a really fun video to watch!

I love meat as well but had issues with gout and had to reduce how much I ate. I found that veggie burgers can be fantastic, they aren't meat, and don't expect them to be anything like meat, but man they are tasty and very filling. Boca burgers, also black bean chipotle burgers are my favorite, a little guacamole on top and two of them fill you up and more importantly satisfy you.

[@ziggybender9125]

If you are medically allowed to eat meats in small amounts than I have a suggestion for you. Go to Costco and get the 1/8" thin sliced new york strip steak, season them all with a quick dry brine and freeze in portions. They are a beautiful way to get a small amount of steak added to a meal while cooking super fast and easy.

[@Vell1981]

[@cuongle7990]

​​Immitation meat are so processed and artificial that they really harm your body more than actual meat. Your body won't know how to properly digest it, many have suffered inflamation, indigestion and other dietary problems after prolonged consumption. Also the plant based protein in it are in no way similar to real meat protein, lacking in many key nutrients, so it can't actually replace meat in your diet. If you really have a problem with meat just go full vegan and eat other less processed soy based product like tofu for your protein demands, plus vitamin and mineral supplements for whats missing. Don't come any where close to immitation meat as they are right now because they're not good for you.

[@brei2670]

I don't think fake meats are healthy. You're better off eating tofu and protein rich vegetables and nuts. The amount of stuff they put in there to make it even remotely taste like meat can't be any good.

I’ve seen many comments criticizing plant-based meat, asking, “If you want to eat plants, why make them look like meat? Why not just eat meat?” However, there are several reasons for plant-based meat alternatives. In my country, the culinary tradition is heavily meat-based. Even before I became vegan, I struggled to find vegetable dishes when I wanted them. It’s challenging to cook without plant-based meat alternatives because most of my culture’s recipes use meat. I’m not a chef or skilled enough to create new dishes without using these alternatives.
