What??? I gotta find me some of this Spam!

finitebanjo ,

Tbh I’ve tried it and its not great. It’s made of Glutens and has a sort of nutty texture.

TIL there’s actual meat in regular spam.

Mmm… Compressed pig rectum…

I can imagine this tasting like actual spam since I find the vegan hot dogs and vegan Bologna actually taste just like the meat ones. It gets harder to replicate the meat taste as you get into bed m ground beef and steak substitutes

Agreed. In my experience, the more processed the original product is, the easier it is to replicate.

I found plant burger patties that were damn near meat flavor wise, but they were hard for me to get cooked right. They were a little mushy.

Impossible whoppers are pretty good. Impossible burgers from the store are too salty for me and leave a weird taste. I like the vegan chicken burgers though

I've seen one that comes in a bag, pre-sliced and frozen. Feels like over fancifying something that's supposed to mimic something cheap

I feel this way about packaged sliced cheese

DragonTypeWyvern ,

With their fancy plastic bags?

I had my mum try some fried tofu recently and she said, it tastes like spam. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I went on a date like that.

Anticorp ,

I doubt the original is legally meat either.

I bought one of those vegan Spam-a-likes and I have to say I really didn’t like it.

I my thought process was “Spam’s so heavily processed, how much worse could it be if no meat were involved?” the answer turned out to be “A lot.” I don’t know how to describe it. It’s like… you know how there are all beef hot dogs, but they don’t taste anything like beef? It was kinda that but with Spam… but Spam isn’t very meat like to begin with.

All that being said, after the plant based Spam sat in my fridge until it started to get fuzzy, I threw it out for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Despite the fact I found it to be quite unappealing, starving alley cats found it to be meat like enough to eat it… which I guess is a mark in it’s favor?

I'm always more and more weirded out when plant-based foods try to mimic meat. Even to extremes like with Spam here. Just...why?
