I’m all for vegan and vegetarian alternatives, but … I don’t even know what to say. How bad must your meat cravings be to eat UNmeat ugh.

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?

You gave moldy food to stray animals? How nice of you!

watersnipje ,

Why do you give moldy, spoiled food to animals? It can make them sick too.

I doubt the original is legally meat either.

bdot ,

they use the word meat a lot on the shelf tag, considering it’s not meat

werefreeatlast ,

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

acockworkorange ,

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.

Nuke_the_whales ,

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

I'm still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam

For the same and only reason that there is regular spam, surely? For musubi.

HessiaNerd ,

Musubi or fried with scrambled eggs and mayploy. Only way to eat spam.

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

ravhall ,

I feel this way about packaged sliced cheese

DragonTypeWyvern ,

With their fancy plastic bags?

Chozo ,

Maybe I'm crazy, but that actually sounds kinda dope. Spam is underrated, IMO.

I’m still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but…

I became a full time vegetarian 10 or 11 years ago. There are still some dishes I miss that had meat in them. Not necessarily the meat itself. Some I have modified to be vegetarian. Other I have not.

All in all there are not a lot I find myself wanting. One is an Italian cold cut sub, another is various dishes made with spam. 20 years ago I worked in a logistics department and most of my coworkers were from the Philippines, I learned to love spam. It was also a great camping food. I would love to try vegetarian spam.
