I've become a vegetarian because my wife threatened to leave me if I didn't (she wanted me to become a vegan, but we compromised... so inb4 "cuck").

I'm trying to find meat alternatives that taste and have a similar texture to real meat.
Best I've found so far is pic related with which I use to make a decent chilli or spaghetti bolognese.

anyone recommend some meat alternatives ?
>>
Cuck

Grow some fucking balls and tell her that she can pay her own bills if she doesn't want you to eat meat.
>>

yeah..... thanks for that. really helpful.

I'd appreciate it if we could keep this on topic.

Plenty of people stop eating meat all the time because of "muh earth" or "muh animal rights" or "muh health". No one even cares anymore man.

Not even joking here, you sound like a legit cuck. Cucks love being submissive and bossed around by their wife and even more love being humiliated about it.

>Not wearing the pants in the relationship

Even if he has edulcorated his opinion now.

I'd also recommend thinking outside of the box of meat alternatives and starting to think more like cereal plus legumes combo, it's way cheaper and opens a world of variety.

Look I am going to have to tell you this, when it comes to meat substitutes, you get 1 out of 3:

>tastes similar to real meat
>texture similar to real meat
>does not require a million seasonings and cooking methods to pull this off in a really strange way

No seriously. And don't even start on vegan nut "cheese". It's this sour, pasty thing that makes you wonder "did these retards ever taste real cheese".

There are gluten pork belly substitutes, fake "calamari" and fake "prawns" sold in asian grocery stores that have a reasonably similar texture to the real stuff. Don't expect the taste to be similar.

Tofurkey allegedly even tears away like the real thing. There's a reason vegans prefer nut roasts, or the gluten ball that is called the "unturkey".

Yuba (fried tofu skin) is a reasonable substitute for most crackling or reasonably juicy "outer skin" to put on the "meat" of your choice. Beer-battered and crumbed mushroom caps make a reasonable burger patty alternative.

Ultimately though, you will have to choose to eat an actual vegetarian option that isn't meant to mimic meat like falafels or swap your chilli out for a bit of mapo tofu.
>>

Well there are some fake meats that taste very similar to real meat. A lot of Quorn products (their chicken nuggets and strips) taste depressingly like battery hen breastmeat, down to the dryness. The infamous "mock duck" in a can, once crisped up in an oven tastes remarkably like real duck.

not replicate exactly. more like "tastes sorta kinda like it".

It's probably not that difficult to make artificial meat, it's just a question of cost and complexity.

What gives meat its taste are the amino acids. (by contrast, what gives plants its taste are phytoflavonoids)

What gives meat its texture are part of the nutrient delivery system that every organism needs, and of course, texture plays a large part in the delivery of flavour.

It's pretty hard to create and store amino acids, which is why when say, someone does it, it's gotta be NASA and they make huge whoops about POSSIBLE ORIGINS OF LIFE.
>>
>>7531757
>only NASA has the occult tech to produce amino acids
The Ajinomoto corporation would like to have a word with you
>>
>>7531764
Monosodium glutamate is not glutamic acid.
Glutamic acid is 1 out of a minimum of 50 to make anything taste like "meat", and if anything that would be some kind of "pig-meat".
>>
>>7531786
>the Ajinomoto corporation only makes MSG
You're a funny guy cleetus
>>
Faken is fake bacon, most supermarkets have a dedicated section for vegi alternatives now. Quron brand is pretty decent.
>>
>>7531791
They literally only make msg, and technically they don't even make it: they brew the base glutamic acid using bacteria, then basically expose it to ammonia to convert it to all the other glutamic acid salts.
>>
>>7531843
Completely wrong

My understanding of vegetarianism is that you'll have a much better time learning to cook good vegetarian dishes rather than chasing old dreams with shitty fake meat alternatives.

>>
>>7531113
This desu.

I've moved in with my girlfriend who's muslim, so she has dietary restrictions. And further from that, she doesn't eat ALL that much meat anyway. But I don't bow down to her every will, and she doesn't to mine.
In the end I probably eat more fish than I normally would, and she probably eats more meat than she normally would. It's not a huge deal. One day if I'm grilling a steak and she doesn't want it I can do portabellos for her.

Allowing something like eating to play a large role in your relationship is a sign of huge problems.
>>

Well shit you might as well beat her then! Since your taking the ride anyway.

Look to other cultures that have vegetarian cuisine for a start. Like the other anon said, try to make vegetarian dishes you actually like, rather than substituting your turkey with tofurkey. If there's a Chinatown or Little India in your city, go check out their respective vegetarian cuisines. If you insist on sticking with Western dishes, get to know your mushrooms, legumes, and pulses, as those will form the basis of any meal you're looking to cook. Mushroom risotto is a good place to start as it's simple and idiot-proof. Whatever you decide to cook, just remember to make an extra portion for your wife's bull.

All quorn products are A+. I don't know what options you have in Europe, but Morningstar Farms makes really good breakfast sausage products. Boca makes my favorite burgers. Field Roast is another company that makes sausage, but italian/chipotle kind.
>>
dont, if you are only going to be a vegetarian its not even hard. You can still 'enjoy things like eggs and cheese and what not; just enjoy what you have you cum depot .
If youre really at all interested in the culinary arts, its a great opportunity to soften the tasty buds, and deepen ones appreciation for particular flavors/ become more adept at preparing them.
Besides, 'pretending' to eat me is plain sad, even for a cuck. And if you eat that garbage youre still supporting the same companies that torture animals, and would still be ingesting synthesized corn oils and malodextrin / all that other crazy stuff.
Btw, lemme know if you ever need someone to help you and your wife handle a bull :D or cook tasty vegan meals .

Protip: cum isnt technically vegetarian, so maybe reconsider going ahead

No but seriously, it's something if you wanted to do it. You having to compromise to get from vegan to vegetarian is just a demonstration of you being an idiot.

You'll never be able to get on with it since it wasn't your decision, you will fail for a guilty pleasure, every friend will (rightly) think your an idiot and in the end she will leave you. Seriously, no need for those shitheads. People remarry like candy.
