I've tried plenty of different plant based meat substitutes and so for, not one of them can hold a candle to the real taste. Like, it is not even close in my opinion. I can see the market for it, but plant based diet can be incredible when not trying to impersonate meat. Like lentils with curry. Not meat required and super tasty.
So would argue that meat substitutes are the wrong way to go if you want to eat tasty non meat stuff.
Plant-based meat tastes like what vegans think meat tastes like. I'd much rather eat the vegan foods that are prepared without imitation ingredients.
I'm not vegan but I eat plenty of incidentally vegan meals, and all of the best ones have been the ones that weren't trying to imitate another food. They just can't get the texture right and I'd rather not eat some squishy disc of beans and wheat while trying to convince myself it's a burger. It's not. I know it's not and pretending doesn't make it any more of one. Give me a good soup or curry or pasta dish instead.
