11. I don't view it as snark

I view it as direct, immediate observation of the op. I cook for a living including for several vegetarian and vegan diets. I read this forum with some regularity and get some good information. One of my quirky peeves is the regular discussion of imitation meats. I don't get it....the necessity to have fake meat that is...I make a few dishes that have a nutritional value, texture and savory flavors that rounds out a starch and vegetable plate....just don't claim it to be a meat substitute...I call it what it is...

I have never one time eaten any vegan meat that didn't require a fair amount of imagination and willingness to kid one's self....pretending may be the best description of what would be needed to believe it tastes and/or has the texure of meat, so in that respect it does taste
weird...Im sure it tastes perfectly good for a loaf of vegetables and spices....it tastes weird if you are trying to convince me it is meat...
