Vegetarian butcher shops are now emerging. This may seem surprising, but these businesses do not sell animal meat but substitutes supposed to have the same taste and texture.
Let’s see what’s behind this concept of meat for vegetarians.
Vegan butchery: principle
Becoming vegetarian or vegan today is on the rise. A vegetarian butcher’s shop (language purists will probably rebel against this barbarism) is a business offering products without animal proteins but aesthetically and taste similar.
White meats are the easiest to reproduce, with red meat remaining more difficult. The products sold generally contain soy, wheat, peas and spices and are easily cooked for a vegan meal.
Veganism is growing in the United States, France, Switzerland and Germany. The demand for imitation meats is exploding and vegan butcher shops will surely flourish quickly.
Vegetarian meat: recipe and taste
On the taste bud side, vegan white meat retains an advantage and better reproduces the taste. Red meat is drier and by definition cannot be cooked rare, although some manufacturers try to reproduce blood.
There are organic or non-organic versions, without GMOs or palm oil to satisfy the tastes of all those wishing to become vegetarian or vegan.
How is vegan meat used?
The idea is to obtain meat substitutes that can be cooked like animal flesh. It’s more or less possible; sometimes you have to adapt the recipes and add spices to make the taste buds crackle.
Don’t worry, easy vegan recipes are legion on the Internet, we can say that today they abound and that’s so much the better!
But let’s not forget world cuisine which is full of possibilities such as curries which are perfect vegetarians. But you also have all the pies and pizzas which are easily available in easy vegan recipes with a few adaptations.
It takes a little time and adaptation at the beginning but after a while you know the right combinations of food and spices for easy and tasty vegan menus.
So here we go, we put on the apron and get behind the stove!
