What is vegetarian ground round?
Yes, it's TVP (textured vegetable protein). It's not tofu - people seem to think that tofu is the only meat substitute out there. Ground round is great if you fry it up in a pan and add one cup of salsa, chili powder, chili flakes, then use it in tacos! You always have to be careful to season meat alternatives. The more seasoning, the better. If it tastes gross, you didn't season it enough!
What can be a vegetarian (or vegan) substitute for meatballs or corn-dogs? What can I substitute for meat in both the cases?
This is the beauty of veganism. You do not have to sacrifice taste, comfort food, and familiar recipes because for every recipe of your choice, I betcha there’s a vegan version! In fact, I urge non-vegans to try these out, as it’s wonderful to learn new things for better brain and cognitive health! so the more we branch out, and use our brain muscles to learn new things, the better our cognitive and therefore mental health!I regularly organize vegan potlucks and parties, and we have a BLAST! At the last one, one of my dear friends brought in these babies, and By oh boy! they were GONE before we could even get a dece pic! So, pic courtesy Google:-pIngredients:3/4 cup corn/polenta meal3/4 cup all purpose/ unbleached flour3/4 cup plant-strong mylk (my friend used Almond)pinch salt (adjust acc to your taste preference, 2 tsp baking powder and 2 tsp sugar)1/4 tsp curry powder (optional), 1/4 tsp pepper.egg replacer for one egg ( 1 tbsp ground flax meal mixed with 2 tbsp water/ aquafaba (chickpea water).vegan hotdogs (supermarket, my friend got the Linda McCartney ones)Procedure:Mix all ingredients except for the hotdogs, dust flour on a dinner plate and roll the hotdogs in that flour, then dip in the batter.Heat oil to 375 degrees in a pot, and fry the corn dogs in this oil, that have been battered.for 4–5 mins till they brown, drain excess oil on paper towels and serve with sauce:-)))
What is a good vegetarian substitute for the meat on nachos?
Ah, one of my favorite early discoveries when I became a vegetarian was that lentils are a really good meat substitute. Cook, season with taco spices then drain. You can put them directly on the nachos or you can mash them.I tell a funny story about this in my Reluctant Vegetarian Cookbook. When I recommend this book, I am more interested in being helpful than I am in selling cookbooks.
Is there a vegetarian substitute for sausage?
Lemme ask you a question.Do you wanna ‘called’ a vegetarian or do you wanna ‘be’ a vegetarian?If you wanna ‘called’ a vegetarian, then yes, there are a lot of substitutes for everything and anything made up of meat or whatever.But if you wanna 'be' a vegetarian, then kindly try to renunciate that desire of eating non-vegetarian food.One searches for the substitute when s/he wants not to be called a hypocrite and enjoy the pleasure of the same product, in this context a sausage.You wanna enjoy it without being called a non-vegetarian.So, instead of suggesting you any vegetarian substitute for it, I have another suggestion for you.Feel contented with vegetarian food only because that feeling will make you a true vegetarian.BTW upon searching the meaning of the term sausage, it gives following result.So, I think there's no vegetarian substitute for this purely non veg food item.Be vegetarian. Be proud of being vegetarian.Bliss!!

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except parsley, cook for about 10 to 12 more minutes to cook the pasta. Add parsley a minute or two before serving just to wilt it a little.
A substitute for nutritional yeast in vegepate or other vegetarian recipes? Miso or mushrooms perhaps ?
You'd be looking for a savory flavor, so I'd go with miso. That would mean reducing the amount of whatever liquid the recipe calls for. You could try very finely minced mushrooms instead but I'm afraid they would absorb some of that liquid and make the overall texture too dry.
Are vegan and vegetarian meat "substitutes" unhealthy?
faux meat is highly processed, which is my main issue with it. i think its most appropriate if you're having cravings and need something to satisfy you, but i wouldn't make it a huge part of your diet (also madly expensive!!) in the long term what do you mean by dairy? do you mean milk substitutes like almond milk or coconut milk? those are natural and pretty healthy! rice milk is a little on the watery side/not as nutritious as the others. coconut milk is a little thick and fatty for my taste but idk search around. a lot of people like soy milk and its fine but i don't care for the taste. my favorite is almond milk because it is the healthiest, has a nice nutty flavor to it, and is about the same consistency as dairy so it seems legit in cereals, baking, etc
Can we make a vegetarian alternative to high end cuts of beef that taste as good as the real thing?
I’ve had vegetarian “sausage” and “burgers” that were close enough if I wanted to avoid meat, but right now there’s not significant technology to replicate the exact taste and texture of unground beef.If you’re vegetarian for health reasons and you want steak, you could compromise on occasion and perhaps enjoy a small amount of high-quality sliced steak with a salad, or in a stir-fry or another elaborate dish primarily consisting of vegetables. Consider the meat as a flavoring element instead of the main course.Beef itself isn’t inherently unhealthy in moderation, as all things.ON EDIT, I noticed in another answer Onam Kiazi Emmet brought up portobello mushrooms, which is a fantastic idea. You can season and grill a large mushroom as you would a steak, and get the same tasty Maillard searing effect as with meat. I’ve had one that had the smoky savory flavor and texture of the delicious rendered fatty portions on the edge of a steak, although it did not consist of fat. Portobello mushrooms aren’t steak, but can provide a very similar dining experience.
How do I make prop ground beef for the stage?
I am working on a show and I need to make something that looks like raw ground beef. It can't be something that can perish and it needs to look real enough from about 4 feet away. I would rather not use foam or plaster. Any ideas from those prop masters out there? Thanks so much!
