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