Question for Vegetarians and Vegans?!
Question for Vegetarians and Vegans?
Most meat-eating people will describe certain foods as “it tastes like chicken”; It has almost became a catch-phrase. My question is - what do vegetarians and vegans use as their phrase to describe other foods??
Answers:
Actually, I will still compare things to chicken on occasions... I especially do this when describing tofu to meat-eaters.
I will say it has a bland flavor, much like chicken does, if it is cooked without seasoning and sauce... but it absorbs the flavor of whatever you cook it in. I find it is easier to draw from something they know.
But overall, I think the idea *tastes like chicken* is trying to get across is that something is bland... so I will just say it is bland.
We have no catch-phrases for this situation. But I do like
"Imagine whirled peas"
heeheehee
"It tastes like chicken & its made out of flour/tofu, marvelous!"
they use scientific description(vegs are usu. nerds)
if u want to be a veg then go to www.govege.com
tastes like Boca Chik'n (chicken flavored tofu burgers) lol
chicken only tastes like what it is seasoned with. Plain chicken is bland and boring. If you bread an eggplant with the same stuff you would bread chicken with, then eggplant "tastes like chicken"
I really haven't used that phrase since I became a veggie. Up to this point, I've not come across any vegetarian food that has the qualityor texture of animal flesh, so I've not really had a reason to say that.
taste like soybeans
use real words like bitter, sweet, hint of sweet, ruff texture, soft flesh meaty center (by meaty i mean it's got alot of vegg meat like inside a tomato) alot of things man.
some vegg tastes like meat to me, mushroom, black olive
and more
taste like morning star chick pattie
