A nice roasted duck gets my mouth leaking like an old galvanized pipe that you didn't realize was rotting from the inside out

Hotdog!

Mostly racoon from what I'm led to believe.

Maybe an unpopular one... but while I was in Iceland I had foal. You can get it at any grocery market there. It's without question the best meat I've ever had.

Long pork /s

Tofu is tried and true and super versatile.

Learning to cook seitan feels like a veritable lifehack the first time you experience turning 2 cups of gluten powder into a massive bounty of sandwich slices.

Things like Beyond (ideally their avocado-oil versions) are a bit too pricy, but a nice change of pace when they go on sale. They're good for those random burger cravings. Same story with those breaded Gardein patties.

Soy curls are a miracle.

I added tofu to my rotating protein list and it’s been a great addition. I regret not eating it sooner.

The salmon seasons on the US West coast have been essentially non-existent for a couple of years. The Abalone season has been suspended for over 5 years. Both of those meats are absolutely amazing, especially when you prepare and eat them the day you caught them. I miss those two the most.

Crab. Always looked forward to the few days a month my family have crab.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Caught a few but my partner is disgusted at the idea of eating them. Shame as it was really easy.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

Salmon. It might actually be my favourite overall. Delicious.

probably catfish

Isn't that how you get salmonella?

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Only if you eat it under your umbrella

Ostrich. Easily the best game meat. It’s incredible.

[–] BourbonLaser@kbin.earth 17 points 2 days ago

Elk is fantastic. Elk chops with a sweet demiglas is chefs kiss

That's not meat.

It's okay if you don't eat meat, and it's okay to just say that; I'm just more annoyed at the whole trend of "meat substitutes" when you can just... not eat meat.

Tofu is an awesome ingredient, used in an incredible variety of dishes. To reduce it to something it isn't trying to be is such a waste of a good ingredient.

There's nothing wrong with meat substitutes. Vegans don't take issue with the taste and textures of foods, we take issue with where those foods come from and how they're acquired. Mock meats are a great way to help people ease their transition into a better lifestyle until get more accustomed to more plant-forward meals, as well as being a panacea for people who have food sensitivity issues.

I know all the ways tofu can be used. But it is a great meat substitute as well and what is wrong with that? I don’t understand the hate against meat substitutes. Especially when it’s not one of those ultra processed foods, which tofu clearly isn’t.

Yes there are A LOT of great meals without any meat-like ingredients but sometimes it’s just a nice addition. I like to make vegan Paella with smoked tofu cubes for example or bolognese with crumbled tofu. It’s all a substitute.

Deer meat.

Someone wrote beans so you're ok

Bison/buffalo burgers are delicious.

[–] call_me_xale@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

+1. It's like beef but leaner and more flavorful.

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 4 points 1 day ago

Ostrich and reindeer are both very good

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I like duck if it's done properly, but eat kangaroo more often.

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Kangaroo has to be done right. A good kangaroo roast can be better than lamb or pork.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Quail is pretty good.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Duck. πŸ¦†

As a 10 year vegan, the meats I miss the most are gator tail and venison

Venison is great.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Duck but gator tail is a close second.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Buffalo is so fucking good

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Cariboo. Elk is a close second.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Venison probably. Boar is also good.

On poultry, I'd go turkey over duck. Not keen on goose, too fatty.
