A nice roasted duck gets my mouth leaking like an old galvanized pipe that you didn’t realize was rotting from the inside out

    The salmon seasons on the US West coast have been essentially non-existent for a couple of years. The Abalone season has been suspended for over 5 years. Both of those meats are absolutely amazing, especially when you prepare and eat them the day you caught them. I miss those two the most.

    Tofu is tried and true and super versatile.

    Learning to cook seitan feels like a veritable lifehack the first time you experience turning 2 cups of gluten powder into a massive bounty of sandwich slices.

    Things like Beyond (ideally their avocado-oil versions) are a bit too pricy, but a nice change of pace when they go on sale. They’re good for those random burger cravings. Same story with those breaded Gardein patties.

    Soy curls are a miracle.

      I added tofu to my rotating protein list and it’s been a great addition. I regret not eating it sooner.

      That’s not meat.

      It’s okay if you don’t eat meat, and it’s okay to just say that; I’m just more annoyed at the whole trend of “meat substitutes” when you can just… not eat meat.

      Tofu is an awesome ingredient, used in an incredible variety of dishes. To reduce it to something it isn’t trying to be is such a waste of a good ingredient.

        I eat meat and I eat tofu. It’s great having a revolving list of protein to choose from.

        There’s nothing wrong with meat substitutes. Vegans don’t take issue with the taste and textures of foods, we take issue with where those foods come from and how they’re acquired. Mock meats are a great way to help people ease their transition into a better lifestyle until get more accustomed to more plant-forward meals, as well as being a panacea for people who have food sensitivity issues.

        I know all the ways tofu can be used. But it is a great meat substitute as well and what is wrong with that? I don’t understand the hate against meat substitutes. Especially when it’s not one of those ultra processed foods, which tofu clearly isn’t.

        Yes there are A LOT of great meals without any meat-like ingredients but sometimes it’s just a nice addition. I like to make vegan Paella with smoked tofu cubes for example or bolognese with crumbled tofu. It’s all a substitute.
