There is no know animal product that mimics 99.995% that will taste starchy, animal products are different, they are grainy from chewy, hard to softIn the liver, glycogen can make up from 5–6% of the organ's fresh weight and the liver of an adult weighing 70 kg can store roughly 400 grams of glycogen.

What do heart, liver, kidney and brains taste like?
Heart is a well-exercised muscle. It had a certain rigidity when raw, but becomes more tender when cooked. Over-cooked, it's tough and hard. It tends to have a very strong flavor of 'beef'. Other hearts have different, usually milder flavors.Liver, an organ, is soft-textured. Eaten raw, it is like a meat-flavored jelly with a bit of a snap and a chew. Cooked, it can be tender, almost creamy, or -- if over-cooked -- tough, dry, and mealy. The flavor gets its own adjective: livery or liverish. Different flavors for different animals, though most are more or less similar as being stronger than muscle meat.Brain, raw, is also jellly-like. Cooked, it has more the texture of scrambled eggs. The flavor is harder to describe, but certainly differs from animal to animal. It's got a light flavor and a smooth texture, though with more substance than a paste.Kidney is also an organ. It needs to be cleaned properly to remove the urine-processing parts which are thrown away. That leaves a shell of solid material that can be tender when properly cooked, but tought as leather and very stinky when over-cooked.
