Sausages and meatballs are the best case scenario for faux meat and they can't pull it off. I tried some Impossible meatballs and you can tell they are made out of pea protein because they taste like peas. Soy shit will usually just taste like the spices with no meat flavor at all. There's a lot of actually good vegan food but this fake meat shit ain't it.
And then you have leafcutter ants that have been farming fungi for at least 45 million years as a food source, something humans only started doing properly in the late 1960s with quorn. It's still designed in a way that it resembles meat but it's an alternative to soy beans.

Indian food proves that vegan dishes can absolutely work. But, see, that requires actual effort.

You should read the ingredients in those faux-meat vegan products.
It's fucking disgusting and absolutely horrible for you. Everything is ultra-processed and pumped full of chemicals and seed oils.
There's no nutritional benefit whatsoever to consuming these things over normal meat. It's a huge negative, in fact.
I tried them out of curiosity because they were leftover because a vegan didn't like them either.
