I find it strange that some vegetarian foods tend to take on the look of meat. Tofurkey, vegetarian ham, garden burgers, etc. Seems kinda contradicting to me.
Most vegetarians were raised eating meat. So it's a big part of their diet.
I think it just depends on the person, I grew up with meat, yet the only time I use commercial meat replacements is when other people get them fore me. Then again I became vegetarian mainly because I don't like meat. Someone who liked it, but became veg*n for moral reasons may like replacements more.
Usually in recipes I sub some type of bean, mushrooms, or occasionally eggplant. I like tofu but I haven't had luck preparing it myself.
