Hotdog!
Mostly racoon from what I'm led to believe.
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 itβs been a great addition. I regret not eating it sooner.
Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.
Maybe an unpopular one... but while I was in Iceland I had foal. You can get it at any grocery market there. It's without question the best meat I've ever had.
Crab. Always looked forward to the few days a month my family have crab.
Elk is fantastic. Elk chops with a sweet demiglas is chefs kiss
Deer meat.
~Sorry for delete prev. comment. Did a typo and reacted stupidly.~
Someone wrote beans so you're ok
Bison/buffalo burgers are delicious.
+1. It's like beef but leaner and more flavorful.
Quail is pretty good.
Ostrich. Easily the best game meat. Itβs incredible.
As a 10 year vegan, the meats I miss the most are gator tail and venison
I like duck if it's done properly, but eat kangaroo more often.
Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.
Duck. π¦
The salmon seasons on the US West coast have been essentially non-existent for a couple of years. The Abalone season has been suspended for over 5 years. Both of those meats are absolutely amazing, especially when you prepare and eat them the day you caught them. I miss those two the most.
Bro forgot coastal cities
Long pork /s
Yak
Oligarchs and their bootlickers
Salmon
Turkey
Horse! It's actually probably just my favourite meat in general even including the others
I imagine horse is a lot like beef as Tesco got away with using horse meat in ready meals for who knows how long.
Venison probably. Boar is also good.
On poultry, I'd go turkey over duck. Not keen on goose, too fatty.
Tofu
That's not meat.
It's okay if you don't eat meat, and it's okay to just say that; I'm just more annoyed at the whole trend of "meat substitutes" when you can just... not eat meat.
Tofu is an awesome ingredient, used in an incredible variety of dishes. To reduce it to something it isn't trying to be is such a waste of a good ingredient.
I know all the ways tofu can be used. But it is a great meat substitute as well and what is wrong with that? I donβt understand the hate against meat substitutes. Especially when itβs not one of those ultra processed foods, which tofu clearly isnβt.
Yes there are A LOT of great meals without any meat-like ingredients but sometimes itβs just a nice addition. I like to make vegan Paella with smoked tofu cubes for example or bolognese with crumbled tofu. Itβs all a substitute.
Buffalo is so fucking good
rabbit
Probably venison and/or wild boar (if you donβt count the latter as pork). My partnerβs parents are hunters and theyβve given us some excellent boar steaks and self made game sausages before.
Venison is great but the markup is insane. In Scotland deer are hunted to stop them from destroying entire forests and the meat is sold to restaurants at a loss just so that it's used for something. Then those restaurants inflate the price massively because it's "exotic"
mine is bork. it is a secret third meat that is neither beef nor pork.
Ostrich and reindeer are both very good
beyond beef π
probably catfish
Venison, lobster, scallops, crab, and shrampies!
Moose can be pretty good, but I think I would have to say Turkey
Duck is amazing, either Chinese style (Peking Duck) or French style (Canard Γ l'orange)
