Question

Nora · Accepted Answer

None. Real (vegan) food always wins.

Frankie · Answer

Seitan, unfortunately there are few seitan products in the Netherlands.

Lu · Answer

Just Mayo (i used to HATE mayonnaise before i was vegan, but i'll try p much anything as long as it's vegan so I tried that -when it still existed- and oof so good!)

Martha · Answer

Bresso plant-based - really tasty 😊

Raphael · Answer

Beetroot burger at Clayton hotel. Tasted so real

David · Answer

Red lentils as a “mince” for bolognese 😋 Much as I like the substitute “meats”, you know lentils aren’t ultra processed and it’s a lot cheaper and easier (and possibly better for you)

JJ · Answer

Pumfu or mushrooms burgers

Barbara · Answer

I am vegan but I don't need to replace anything, I happily eat plant proteins and vegetables and carbohydrates without the need for fake sausages or similar stuff.

Chris · Answer

Meat is like cigs to me. I don’t crave for it when I don’t try it even a single time.

Jack · Answer

In 2006, I made homemade seitan... I had been vegetarian for just a few months, and I started crying because it looked like lamb and thinking about all the lives sacrificed unnecessarily.

Simon · Answer

I'm vegan since 2018 and nowadays there are many different brands, my favourites are beyond meat and impossible! Texture and flavour really close to real meat!

Horpyna · Answer

Kaszanka

Tyler · Answer

I swapped butternut squash skins for kabab meat. Cleaned well, roasted with seasoning, thrown in a pitta bread with salad/sauce. Looks similar, tastes loads better. Perfect after pub grub.

Aquafaba, it's magical, from mayonnaise, whipped egg whites, to ice cream and meringues 🥹🩵

Jeff · Answer

The vegan feta from VioLife was SOO bomb, really surprised me!

Kevin · Answer

Wiktor · Answer

Vegan hotdogs for barbecue. I’ve bought them in InterMarche in France.

Anthony · Answer

Pretty much any substitute tastes almost the same or identical at this point. Mr. Charlie's beats Mcdonald's.
