Is there a site that goes into detail on every substitute? Like, my failure last time was none of the subs were any good, but its been a decade almost. stuff evolves. I love the taste and and feel of so many animal products. A roomie is going vegan, and I kinda want to join. But I'm scared of missing out. I FOMO hard. I want to. I really do, but I am gourmand hedonist who loves food and loves cooking for other people so much. I am a much better cook because of what I learned when I tried last, but god damn I NEED cheese and eggs in life you feel? I need something that compares to avoid that FOMO.

But when I was vegan I was in the best shape of my life, so I want to go back because who doesn't want to look good and be confident?

TLDR: A knowledge repository with the closest to 1:1 for animal product vegan versions that get damn close. I don't want to miss out if that makes sense.

    Don't know about eggs but a top-tier ground beef sub is Soya de Carne. Lots of vegan subs just don't hold up to what they're imitating. They're good on their own but a black bean burger is not the same as a hamburger. However, Soya de Carne for tacos, casseroles, and sloppy joes is almost 1:1.

    I've heard but never confirmed that nutritional yeast flakes apparently have a "cheesy" flavour but ymmv. People use it a lot in soups/stews to make something akin to cheese.
