I tried that. No... just no. My best friend is vegan. And she's always craving bacon. Comes up with all these weird and wonderful concoctions that are supposed to taste like it but... just don't. Turkey bacon is what happens when you take the masking tape off your walls after you've just finished painting and think "Mmmmm... I need lunch!"
Food illusionists can work miracles these days, but they can't beat nature. I want a 100% genuine steak, running free with myoglobin, cooked by a master. Not some facsimile by people in a lab thinking they know how to make artificial biomass taste even remotely the same. This is why carnivores literally exist. It's a thing. Has been since the dawn of time.
