Meat taste

[Guest guest]

I was brought up to eat meat too & am continuously getting grossed out

at the same things & I'm really glad. And I'm feeling guiltier &

guiltier too. I also still like bacon & sausage too but that's about it.

I do like chicken but only if it's fixed by me. The junk food

restaurants tastes funny to me. I still crave crab meat too. But I've

come a long way. I get the Farm Sanctuary (they rescue & foster farm

animals & are very involved in getting the laws changed) news brochure &

I make myself read the whole thing & it's helping me to go veggie. My

older sister's almost completely veggie, but she's doing it mainly

because of the environmental issues involved with animal slaughter, but

she's an animal lover too. Vicki

I think this is interesting -- I have mixed feelings about this myself.

I

was also raised as a meat eater and I did enjoy a lot of meat tastes as

a

child. However, as I began to feel guiltier and guiltier about eating

animals, even the meats I liked started to remind me of the living

animal and

I would become repulsed. Later it got so bad with things like

hamburgers and

chopped beef, that if I tasted the slightest pice of grizzle and then a

vein

in steak or in chicken, I would have to stop eating. Now I find the

toughest

things for me to give up are pig bacon and sausage for breakfast. So, I

have

also been buying the meat substitutes and trying them in place of links

&

such. I'm experimenting with TVP & soy patties and find that some do

taste

somewhat like the meat but not exactly, which is a good thing for me.

The

same with seafood. I ate once at an all vegan Chinese restaurant and I

loved

the non-seafood shrimp and fish. So, I guess those are the only two

types of

food I can still handle the meat taste of. The bacon & sausage is

starting

to get to me now too, but I still crave the seafood. We'll see what

happens.

 

Just rambling,

Chris

I was going through old posts looking for something and I came across

this.

 

HOw do you make fake seafood like shrimp and crab and such? I've

been thinking about that. I looked in the grocery store..because the

supposed crabmeat that they sell is not true crab BUT after looking

at the ingredients, it is still made from fish...argh....so how do

you make fake seafood exactly ? Thanks:)
