    I mean, have you tried any of the cheese alternatives? /s

    I am excited for any and all improvements.

      Daiya American slices on nachos or a burger is perfectly acceptable. It’s just super weird when it’s cold. And I’ve given up entirely trying to find a blue cheese substitute.

        This is surprising to me. The “follow your heart” blue cheese fits the bill perfectly for me.

        I would kill for a mozz that got anywhere close to actual cheese.

        I’ve found tofutti slices to be a little better for those dishes and my new bar for acceptable. Dayia is better now that they use oat milk but it still tastes wrong to me. All the other brands are really quite bad.

        I’ve been pleasantly surprised by vegan blue cheese dressings, but blue cheese itself…yeah, it’s got a long ways to go.

      I mean the fact that they ARE so terrible convinces me actually that there is so much room for improvements.

      I’m always wondering: what if dairy+ meat never had gotten to be defined as western staples? Where would other sources of food be now in development ? A prime example is tofu in the Asian cultures: while diminished as “sub” in western culture, its a staple there.

        In my opinion you have to be used to meat to enjoy it. Cheese too to an extent (excites some of the same neuro receptors as opiates…). I don’t think tofu is an acquired taste though, it’s very bland and neutral and you can make it taste however you like.
