Try fried noodles(coconut oil, capsicum, turmeric etc) with TVP(boiled and fried in olive oil/coconut oil)
Tastes damn lot better than bbq meat, and high in protein than any other meat.
You can marinade TVP in cummin & turmeric overnight to produce a better meaty flavour.
There are ways to make TVP taste exactly like beef.

This is a handy hint for when you have a vegan over for dinner, serve beef & say it is TVP.
On a serious note, I heard of a UK restaurant that used chicken stock in its vegetarian dishes, not right.

I tried TVP once and was impressed, I prepared it by soaking it in cows blood overnight and cooking it in pork fat.
It tasted great and I had a vegan meal.

no thanks @dom14, I lived with a vegan for 5 years and have tried TVP and fake bacon and all the rest of the crap on many many occasions...... I'll stock with the real deal thanks.

So a Vegan or vegetarian doesn't eat meat, but prepares it in such a way to try and make it look like meat............. why? I really don't get it. Is it the fact that deep down they really want to eat meat but for some deluded reason, can't let themselves succumb to their cravings?

Ha ha ha ha!!!
Very funny, that ain't vegan. But, there are natural vegan flavouring out there you can buy for peanuts that can make TVP taste like any meat of your choosing.
I think wheat TVP tastes better than soy TVP, but it depends on what you like.
I'm yet to try wheat TVP. If you're gluten intolerant, wheat TVP won't do any good.

That can get them into serious trouble though. For some people their veganism is like their alternative religion.

Yep, exactly as you described above, except the deluded part, 'cos the science is pretty clear about meat eating habit regardless of our liking for it.

I still like the taste of meat, so I occasionally prepare my shit meal with TVP.

I call it a shit meal, 'cos frying with oil and stuff to make it taste better ain't healthy on regular basis but damn satisfying when you do it in odd occasions. Vegans definitely have lowest cases of diseases like cancer, diabetes though.
Vegans & vegetarians die of heart disease all the time 'cos of addiction to taste and eating crap vegan food too much.
But, for the most part I am trying hard to separate the emotional comfort, addiction etc aspect of the food and take it as a nutrition.
It ain't easy as our cultures are built on food & when you have all the good tasting crap around it's pretty hard to avoid.
Finding other things to get the satisfaction we get from food is the key, but easily said than done.
Finding exciting hobbies is the way to go. Replacing regular sex for food addiction can be a good solution, but not sure how folks
manage it as a long term solution when testosterone start to wear out & folks would rather lie on the couch and watch old Seinfeld episodes.

I am fascinated by human biology and brain. We have a near 100% makeup of a herbivore like gorillas, yet we've developed a strong habit of meat eating quite a long time ago according to what we know so far. Our biological makeup and food habits are at odds with each other.
I've seen an elephant killing people and eating the body parts, but that one was a mad elephant(long story).

I dunno why we eat way too much meat knowing it does no good to our health in every aspects, but I intend to find out or at least come up with few theories.

One thing I'm 100% certain is our dairy consumption. We've gota stop consuming that crap. It hasn't done any good regardless of good percentage of population developing lactose tolerance. Besides, dairy has far far more toxic crap in it than any kinda meat.

I think the tastes are acquired and then set in the brain. You can see it clearly among different cultures all around the world when it comes to likes and dislikes. Delicacy in one culture is shit tasting crap in another culture.
