I see alot of Vegans / vegetarians responding in support but let me say as a carnivore that will never go Vegan / vegetarian I agree 100%,

I have eaten vegan dishes that were excellent, I am not opposed to them at all. One of the best Tikka Masla's I have ever had was vegan. However I can not stand when they attempt to make be believe X is Y meat, no, it is not and no amount of marketing will get me to believe they taste the same. They do not.

Just like Cauliflower Mash does not taste like potatoes, it tastes like puréed Cauliflower...



What does "meat" taste like? Do beef, chicken, pork, and salmon taste the same?


Not the same obviously, but they have a lot in common. It's not accidental, as those meats are all the muscles of vertebrates.

Other organs like livers, brain, or lung from various vertebrates also taste similar, but different from muscle meats.
