"How else would they market it? We all recognise burgers, chicken, bacon, sausages etc. and so it helps people who eat those food types to fit in. Otherwise they would need to come up with new names or descriptors for food products, which costs money. Our local vegan cafe uses recognisable names in their menu’s (e.g.: Donna Kebab - yes spelled that way). *Edit bad bad spelling!" The point it tastes like chicken isn’t what I’m getting at. Why attempt to make it taste that way in the first place. It’s a vegetarian product, make it taste delicious and be a vegetable dish. I like a lot of them and love vegetables. In my mind it’s like wearing a tshirt saying “save the trees on it” then buying a shed load of wooden furniture. | |||

I see where you’re coming from in a way. I often go for the vegetarian option, if I do that I’m not looking for it to taste like meat! | |||

"Can anyone answer me this? Why do they make food products for vegetarians/ vegans to mimic meat products? Surely if vegetarians/vegans wanted to eat meat they would? I’m not veggie, so this is something I was wondering about. I saw a subway advertisement that says here is a sandwich that tastes like chicken but is entirely plant based. It’s as though that’s part of the marketing. Which is why I wondered. " Basically (for me anyway) it’s to do with variety of texture and taste, without being concerned that I’m compromising my morals. I’ve been veggie most of my life, and I remember when I was limited in alternatives to quorn chicken and mince pieces, or the much more expensive brands that were kinda ridiculous. Now I can do a full shop of alternative meats at my supermarket and pay the same or less than I would if I ate meat. I can have a fake bacon sandwich when I’m hungover, or enjoy a Sunday “roast” with all the trimmings. I had fake pigs in blankets at Christmas! That’s a huge step up on the dry nut-roast I used to have at Christmas when I was younger. | |||

"For lots its the eating an actual animal product part, the taste of meat/dairy is not offensive to them, its the ethical part of what we do to get it that is" I’m pretty sure it’s this, most veggies and vegans have an ethical issue with meat not that they don’t like the taste of it | |||
