When I stopped eating meat, my biggest craving was for cheap frozen chicken nuggets. Which, never was my ‘favorite’ meat meal; that’d be fresh venison steaks (as, I come from a hunting family). But something about how ‘cravable’ nuggets are I guess just hit my lizard brain hard. Went away after about a month though and hasn’t returned
Tbh I feel like cheap chicken nuggets are probably the single meat product that the various meat alternatives come closest to mimicking anyway. Granted, it’s been a couple years since I went to vegetarianism so I could be losing some of the memory of the taste, but I legit cannot tell the difference between quorn nuggets and frozen chicken ones except that the quorn ones are more expensive.
Same, though I’m usually on the impossible ones, get the same kinda texture but probably taste a bit better. Still haven’t found a true hot dog substitute, kinda hard to fake that unique taste. On the other hand bacon and hamburger substitutes are almost the same as the real thing.
