As long as the alternatives keep getting tastier and cheaper, I'm all in. I'm glad it worked out for you, but I didn't have the same experience when I tried removing meat from my diet. I've been able to find substitutes and recipes to eat way less meat, but I still get that need if I haven't had any for a while. I can't wait for the day that the alternatives bump off meat completely for me, but for now I'll consume as little as I can.
I've been incorporating mushrooms into a lot more meals where there would be larger portions of meat, so damn tasty.
Yeah mushrooms contain a good amount of umami (one of the ingredients of meat that makes it "tasty"). For me it took quite some time (maybe 2-4 years) until my gut adjusted to the taste of a (mostly) vegan diet. But then there's just a lot more diversity and interesting taste otherwise. With a good amount of experimentation combining all kinds of different things to compose a unique taste. With meat it's often just the main taste-defining/dominating ingredient (so kinda boring?). I avoid the highly processed "meat"-replacements though, maybe that helped a bit to get my taste away of meat.
