I went through the extreme effort of long holding and tapping my phone screen to download this meme, and then a couple more taps to upload it. I am the veganbane, fear my wrath!
mushrooms for the win. But i kinda never understood this thing with copying meat food with substitutes. I mean if i'd want to have a meal with the flavour as artificial as it could be, i'd rather buy a pack of chips. In most cases it would also cost less.
Meat products have already capitalised on successful food shapes. Round burger patties, sausages, bacon rashers. These are sensible and convenient shapes for meat to come in. It makes sense that vegan products should take advantage of existing and familiar shapes, because consumers intuitively know how to cook these shapes.
I also don't get the hyper fixation, I don't care if it tastes like beef I just want it to taste good, but honestly they taste good either way. I think they'd sell more if they did not market as meat replacements.
For a good portion of my life I couldn't stand mushrooms. One day I suddenly just started craving them and now it's one of my favourite foods. Weirdly enough I believe divinity original sin 2 is partly responsible for it.
