Funny thing. I don't think it's about the meat, but about the texture. I went into a restaurant in Encinitas California(San Diego) years ago and ordered a Veal Cutlet(yum... baby sheep!). It arrived, and it was *wonderful... Real cutlet... not some chopped & formed Dennystuffresemblingfood.
My companion was having a slight problem with his burger and called the waiter over. It was a vegetarian restaurant. No real meat in the place at all. I was stunned by the ability to replicate a cutlet in soy tempeh.
But Why? Why does my soy have to look like a hot dog? Toe-fuckin-furkey!
