i hate that so much of modern western non-meat food that you see or hear about anymore is just trying to ape existing meat dishes instead of exploring the thousands of years of non-meat dishes we have in the west or looking to the wealth of such things from the east no instead of those beautiful things we have to be assaulted by phrases like vegan bacon
i saw someone make “vegan bacon” with banana peels marinated in liquid smoke. i was appalled.
under any just government this would not happen
