A nice roasted duck gets my mouth leaking like an old galvanized pipe that you didn't realize was rotting from the inside out

Mostly racoon from what I'm led to believe.

Maybe an unpopular one... but while I was in Iceland I had foal. You can get it at any grocery market there. It's without question the best meat I've ever had.

The salmon seasons on the US West coast have been essentially non-existent for a couple of years. The Abalone season has been suspended for over 5 years. Both of those meats are absolutely amazing, especially when you prepare and eat them the day you caught them. I miss those two the most.

Tofu is tried and true and super versatile.

Learning to cook seitan feels like a veritable lifehack the first time you experience turning 2 cups of gluten powder into a massive bounty of sandwich slices.

Things like Beyond (ideally their avocado-oil versions) are a bit too pricy, but a nice change of pace when they go on sale. They're good for those random burger cravings. Same story with those breaded Gardein patties.

Soy curls are a miracle.

I added tofu to my rotating protein list and it’s been a great addition. I regret not eating it sooner.

Crab. Always looked forward to the few days a month my family have crab.

Caught a few but my partner is disgusted at the idea of eating them. Shame as it was really easy.

Isn't that how you get salmonella?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Only if you eat it under your umbrella

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I love children. But I could never eat a whole one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Just freeze whatever you can't finish in one go.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Ostrich and reindeer are both very good

That's not meat.

It's okay if you don't eat meat, and it's okay to just say that; I'm just more annoyed at the whole trend of "meat substitutes" when you can just... not eat meat.

Tofu is an awesome ingredient, used in an incredible variety of dishes. To reduce it to something it isn't trying to be is such a waste of a good ingredient.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago

I eat meat and I eat tofu. It’s great having a revolving list of protein to choose from.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

There's nothing wrong with meat substitutes. Vegans don't take issue with the taste and textures of foods, we take issue with where those foods come from and how they're acquired. Mock meats are a great way to help people ease their transition into a better lifestyle until get more accustomed to more plant-forward meals, as well as being a panacea for people who have food sensitivity issues.

I know all the ways tofu can be used. But it is a great meat substitute as well and what is wrong with that? I don’t understand the hate against meat substitutes. Especially when it’s not one of those ultra processed foods, which tofu clearly isn’t.

Yes there are A LOT of great meals without any meat-like ingredients but sometimes it’s just a nice addition. I like to make vegan Paella with smoked tofu cubes for example or bolognese with crumbled tofu. It’s all a substitute.

Venison is great.

Duck but gator tail is a close second.

There are other meats?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Does veal count? Technically beef but also not beef

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Veal is beef because it comes from a calf. Beef is defined as any flesh or meat that comes from a cow it is used for food.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Deer, Grouper, Tuna, Duck

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Black beans. It is my favorite meat substitute for most recipes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Venison, lobster, scallops, crab, and shrampies!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

Ostrich. Easily the best game meat. It’s incredible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Buffalo is so fucking good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Rattle snake is pretty good from what I can remember. Like chicken, but... different

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Stringy, sinewy, tough, but good at absorbing whatever sauce you put on it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Got to thinking, it's kinda like shrimp, but taste kinda like chicken. It's been like 15 years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I must have gotten some dehydrated roadkill snake jerky when I tried it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Mine was from one my dad killed in our yard. We then cooked it over bonfire that evening.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

That's badass
