    There are vegans and vegetarians who like the taste of animal products but choose not to eat them for ethical reasons alone. I don’t think it’s strange or wrong to want to replicate a familiar and enjoyable recipe. That being said, there are many times where I would prefer a recipe that was created with whole plant-based ingredients than eat ultra-processed, artificial tasting animal product substitutes.

      Agreed. Ultra-processed wannabe meat isn’t the best option and there are some genuinely good plant-based alternatives that aren’t held back by trying to be meat.

      That said, most dairy replacements are markedly sad with the exception of cashew milk and plant-based cream replacement (where flavor and shelf life are so obviously superior that I stopped buying the real stuff).
