Yes, agreed, except in every tofu thread I read here, there's a few people who say "just heat it in a pan with a little oil and drizzle with soy sauce" as if they're describing a delicacy and not the equivalent of a hot couch vegetarian's Tuesday dinner. Or the people who say they eat crumbles right off the block. I swear I've seen it here, I'm not crazy, stop ripping my shirt :eric-andre:
as a vegan i feel like this is a uniquely American thing since “American food” is entirely meat based dishes like burgers, hot dogs, etc., and vegans/vegetarians try to replicate that even though there are plenty of naturally vegan dishes in mediterranean, asian, latino, and african cultures
Half of us do that, half of us don't, mostly because half of you are more interested in traditional vegan options, and the other half (at least in America) won't consider it if they can't have something that looks like a sausage on the side of their plate.
I'm a soups and curries kinda loser, so I don't relate that much, but lots of people - both meat-eaters and vegans - like that fake stuff.

Simple is good too though, i really enjoy white rice and some soy sauce.
Vegetarians biggest L is that they always try to compare their food to already existing meat foods rather than letting them be their own things.

Yeah im absolutely speaking from that perspective and i completely agree

Me. I do that. You get a taste for it after a while. Still much better properly spiced and cooked though.
i mean obviously you're supposed to put seasoning on it
