Question for Vegetarians and Vegans?

Question

Most meat-eating people will describe certain foods as “it tastes like chicken”; It has almost became a catch-phrase. My question is - what do vegetarians and vegans use as their phrase to describe other foods??

Answer 1

Actually, I will still compare things to chicken on occasions... I especially do this when describing tofu to meat-eaters.

I will say it has a bland flavor, much like chicken does, if it is cooked without seasoning and sauce... but it absorbs the flavor of whatever you cook it in. I find it is easier to draw from something they know.

But overall, I think the idea *tastes like chicken* is trying to get across is that something is bland... so I will just say it is bland.

We have no catch-phrases for this situation. But I do like
"Imagine whirled peas"
heeheehee

Answer 2

I really haven't used that phrase since I became a veggie. Up to this point, I've not come across any vegetarian food that has the qualityor texture of animal flesh, so I've not really had a reason to say that.

Answer 3

chicken only tastes like what it is seasoned with. Plain chicken is bland and boring. If you bread an eggplant with the same stuff you would bread chicken with, then eggplant "tastes like chicken"
