A nice roasted duck gets my mouth leaking like an old galvanized pipe that you didn’t realize was rotting from the inside out

    Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.

        I had gator recently that was a plain fillet and not a fried nugget or something like that. I thought it was like a cross between chicken and a meaty fish. It tasted like chicken, but there was a slight sponginess and the way it pulled apart reminded me of fish

      • It’s been so long that my description might not be reliable, but I remember it as a slightly fishy, gamey chicken, but much softer and juicier than other game meats

        Gardein’s “ultimate” plant based chick’n nuggets already taste kind of fishy IMO, and I’ve found that soaking them in dill pickle juice before cooking makes them taste a lot like I remember gator tail being like

        The gator I had was fried and it was like darker-than-dark-meat chicken.

      Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.

    Tofu is tried and true and super versatile.

    Learning to cook seitan feels like a veritable lifehack the first time you experience turning 2 cups of gluten powder into a massive bounty of sandwich slices.

    Things like Beyond (ideally their avocado-oil versions) are a bit too pricy, but a nice change of pace when they go on sale. They’re good for those random burger cravings. Same story with those breaded Gardein patties.

    Soy curls are a miracle.

      I added tofu to my rotating protein list and it’s been a great addition. I regret not eating it sooner.

      I imagine horse is a lot like beef as Tesco got away with using horse meat in ready meals for who knows how long.

        Hah that one was funny :3

        It definitely tastes distinctly different… or at least from what I had, I assume tesco meals don’t taste much of anything in general tho

            It’s a very lean smooth meat… it’s like… not as gamey as something as beef, but still with that distinct red meat taste. It’s rather interesting :3

                Im not even sure what places sell it tbh :3… I know some countries eat it regularly, but every time I had it was cause I live in the middle of nowhere and a farmer gave me some
