What the fuck is the 'authentic experience' of a chicken nugget that seitan is incapable of replicating, anyways? Also the burger patties I ate in school as a cringe baby carnist were 60% TVP soy to begin with, so if anything I'm being even more honest with my frozen slabs now

The line between "meat substitute" and "regular veggie dish" is kinda bullshit anyways:

Like, if I make my own seitan from scratch and use it in unique ways is that meat substitute?

If I make a roux, and make it salty and a little sour, is that a queso substitute or just a roux?

If I crumble firm tofu and pan fry it until it's a bit crispy, is that meat crumble substitute or is it just tofu crumbles? Am I sinning if I use tvp instead?

Makhani sauce uses cashew cream by default but if you take that same cashew cream in another dish, maybe you're a big faker.

How much squash do I have to put in my patty before it flips from "burger" to "veggie fritter?"

It's all silly.
