And the problem is that we give their products names like “soy milk,” and “tofu burger.” When you attach the name of another food, then your taste buds anticipate that flavor. When that’s not what you get, you immediately have a negative reaction because it’s not what you expected. Soy milk is hardly milk, but it’s the bomb in cereal. I had a BBQ tofu burger from the vegetarian place on Lake, and it was more of huge sandwich on a bun than a burger.
So, I say that these health food companies should stop trying to trick people that they’re eating milk/cheese/meat. We get it. I understand that this portobello patty is not really beef, and I’m okay with that, so you don’t have to call it a burger for my part, alright?
I have to say, the meatless sausage patties…mmmmm. I don’t know how they can make them taste SO MUCH like sausage!!
Yeah, the vegan riblets at TJ’s are fucking amazing. I highly recommend them.
there’s this vegetarian restaurant near my work. i was surprised to find things like beef, chicken and pork on the menu, but it was vegetarian meat. it looked, tasted and felt surprisingly real, texture and all.
I suppose my argument focuses more on the people that try soy products thinking that they’ll be more like their non-soy counterparts. I’m intrigued by this veggie place. We must speak more and plan an excursion. 🙂
