How can they make “vegan meat” that’s made of plants taste and feel so much like real meat?

Answer 1

Taste like real meat? I don’t know what kind of meat you eat, but mine definitely doesn’t taste like salty greasy rags.

As far as a fast food burger goes, sure, they taste similar. Then again, if you grab anything, up to and including play-doh add a ton of salt, smear it with ketchup, mayo and mustard and then bury it inside a bun, it’ll taste similar.

Try comparing a medium cooked half pound 80/20 meat burger to a vegan alternative and they will not be alike, at all.
