Tofu is tried and true and super versatile.
Learning to cook seitan feels like a veritable lifehack the first time you experience turning 2 cups of gluten powder into a massive bounty of sandwich slices.
Things like Beyond (ideally their avocado-oil versions) are a bit too pricy, but a nice change of pace when they go on sale. They're good for those random burger cravings. Same story with those breaded Gardein patties.
Soy curls are a miracle.
I added tofu to my rotating protein list and itβs been a great addition. I regret not eating it sooner.
Hotdog!
Mostly racoon from what I'm led to believe.
Crab. Always looked forward to the few days a month my family have crab.
Caught a few but my partner is disgusted at the idea of eating them. Shame as it was really easy.
Maybe an unpopular one... but while I was in Iceland I had foal. You can get it at any grocery market there. It's without question the best meat I've ever had.
The salmon seasons on the US West coast have been essentially non-existent for a couple of years. The Abalone season has been suspended for over 5 years. Both of those meats are absolutely amazing, especially when you prepare and eat them the day you caught them. I miss those two the most.
Bro forgot coastal cities
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.
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 donβt understand the hate against meat substitutes. Especially when itβs not one of those ultra processed foods, which tofu clearly isnβt.
Yes there are A LOT of great meals without any meat-like ingredients but sometimes itβs just a nice addition. I like to make vegan Paella with smoked tofu cubes for example or bolognese with crumbled tofu. Itβs all a substitute.
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. Itβs great having a revolving list of protein to choose from.
Oligarchs and their bootlickers
Salmon
raw salmon
Isn't that how you get salmonella?
Only if you eat it under your umbrella
yea. stay inside your house just to be sure
it has to be fresh in the sort of way that Americans are not used to
Ostrich and reindeer are both very good
Venison is great.
Duck but gator tail is a close second.
Long pork /s
Cariboo. Elk is a close second.
probably catfish
Yak
I love children. But I could never eat a whole one.
Just freeze whatever you can't finish in one go.
There are other meats?
Does veal count? Technically beef but also not beef
Veal is beef because it comes from a calf. Beef is defined as any flesh or meat that comes from a cow and is used for food.
Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.

Deer meat.
~Sorry for delete prev. comment. Did a typo and reacted stupidly.~
Elk is fantastic. Elk chops with a sweet demiglas is chefs kiss
Quail is pretty good.
As a 10 year vegan, the meats I miss the most are gator tail and venison
Duck. π¦
