What does vegetarian food taste like?

Answer 1

It tastes like vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains and beans. It can be made well, or made to taste bad, depending on whose cooking. Fake meats run the range from garlic flavored eraser to "oh, are you sure this is vegetarian?"

Answer 2

From my experience, it isn't the taste, but more the texture. For example, tofu with a rich sauce may taste like your favourite meat dish, but won't feel like it. It's the texture that gives it away. However, there are vegetarian foods that are tasty, and may even convert those meat eaters. It's best to try different recipes; home cooked food generally tastes better than shop bought. The only shop brought food I've ever had that was nice, was bean burgers. Also, the Quorn Scotch eggs are quite nice ( even my dad liked them, and that's saying something!). As I've said, most vegetarian meat substitutes taste nice with a sauce, or lot's of flavouring. You could try stir fries (and these don't even need to have things like tofu added; just use noodles and vegetables, with soy sauce or a spicy flavouring, which is rather nice),moussakass, stews (these are good, because you just remove the meat, and still have the rich tasty flavour), pies, E.T.C The list is endless. Search for vegetarian recipes that sound good over the internet, or order a cookbook that has high reviews. You'll not doubt find a lot of tasty recipes, and it won't matter that there's no meat/fish in them, because they'll be tasty without it.

Answer 3

It tastes like food, only less meaty than what you might be used to. Surely you've eaten unintentionally vegetarian meals? Vegetables stir-fried with noodles, spaghetti with marinara sauce, etc? It's not like it's a whole different type of cuisine. You just take out the meat and either substitute something for it (tofu, beans, faux meats) or not. Pretty much any food you like can be made vegetarian and taste just as good.

Answer 4

You probably eat vegetarian food all the time, and you just don't think about it as such. It tastes like food. Fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts--no meat, no animal stock, no gelatin. You've had pizza without meat toppings, right? Or spaghetti without meat flavorings, haven't you? You've had plain side salads, right? And you can easily veganize chili and stews. When the flavors are all mixed up, you hardly notice it isn't meat, but vegetable protein, and it's still pretty good.
