Your favorite meat substitute...

I've tried tofu but never aquired a taste for it(but in all fairness,I'm not a great cook). I like brown rice,beans(black ,pinto,red and kidney) , and mushrooms. I mainly eat great quantities of raw veggies and do bodybuilding and heavy workouts . I don't crave "meat" but if I do crave something more substancial,(because I've been physically exerting myself) mushrooms and beans seem to satisfy. I've honestly never tried seitan or tempeh and I don't like dairy products so my choices are somewhat limited but I feel healthy with my current diet. It seems to suit my needs. I think it 's important to go with what work for each individual.

 

Although I eat a lot more tofu, tempeh and beans; I'll say TVP

 

boca and morningstar veggie burgers

 

For the first 2-3 yrs I was so sketchy to certian things like vegan deli " meat"
Vegan hotdogs and the vegan ground "beef"
It freaked me out wayy to much lol !!! But now Im almost in my 6th year as a vegetarian, Ive past threw my stages and I open my mind to trying diffrent type of vegan meats.
My favorites are......
Vegan deli "meat" ( which I didnt start eating till I was 4/5 yrs veg cuz it freaked me out sooo much lol .

And last but not least vegan boca burgers
( Idky but I personally think the vegan is so much bettter then there vegetarian boca burgers LOL )

I use beans and grains in most of my meals.

 

Beans & Grains here too.
Can I just say that I was really excited to see how many other people prefer them over other choices?

Now, if I could only get my lentil love going.

I made beans and cornbread yesterday. Sort of a fall tradition to celebrate the turning of the seasons.

The second day is always better for flavor.

After that, they'll make you fart like a Klingon.

Mmmm, we had beans for lunch today too! It's getting cold enough I'm considering pulling out the crockpot for the season.

And what's wrong with a little Klingon music? Keeps you warm at night

mom

 

I'm now having cornbread and milk for breakfast.

Ranks right up there with cold pizza.

i have tofu in 90% of what i eat.

 

i thought i was gonna die after years that stuff years ago. i still feel all uke: barfy when i see it at stores.

 

Beans. Bean and guacamole burritos....Yum
Also tofu disguised as a chocolate amaretto pie. :drool5:

 

beans and grains

 

beans and grains by far!

 

Oh, good. I thought this poll was about tofurkty and soy dogs. I'll eat veggieburgers for convenience and community at barbecues with my friends, but in general I don't. I gave up meat. Substitutes are kind of like cheating for me. That and I don't care for processed food in general.

 

strange...not much mention of falafel. i love falafel, most middle eastern food really...so rich and balanced
