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.
Crab. Always looked forward to the few days a month my family have crab.
Caught a few but my partner is disgusted at the idea of eating them. Shame as it was really easy.
Hotdog!
Mostly racoon from what I'm led to believe.
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.
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.
Long pork /s
probably catfish
Yak
Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.
MANFLESH
no i know youre referencing lotr but i swear i heard that phrase from some game i play awhile ago. Cant quite remember what it is. This is gonna bug me the rest of my day.
I swear i heard this from playing games. But cant remember which games. Fuck

Bison/buffalo burgers are delicious.
+1. It's like beef but leaner and more flavorful.
Deer meat.
~Sorry for delete prev. comment. Did a typo and reacted stupidly.~
Someone wrote beans so you're ok
Elk is fantastic. Elk chops with a sweet demiglas is chefs kiss
Quail is pretty good.
As a 10 year vegan, the meats I miss the most are gator tail and venison
Duck. π¦
Ostrich. Easily the best game meat. Itβs incredible.
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.
Turkey
mine is bork. it is a secret third meat that is neither beef nor pork.
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"
beyond beef π
Duck is amazing, either Chinese style (Peking Duck) or French style (Canard Γ l'orange)
Venison probably. Boar is also good.
On poultry, I'd go turkey over duck. Not keen on goose, too fatty.
You missed all the great seafood!
My top 3 instant guaranteed to get my mouth watering foods are:
Vietnamese clay pot catfish (braised & caramelized)
Boiling Crab shrimps (Cajun-Asian seafood chain)
Hunan steamed fish (with salted chilis)
