That's one problem I have with some vegetarian dishes, or diet ones for that matter. Why do people always try to insist it "tastes the same"? No, it doesn't. It may be very good, maybe even better than the "real" thing, but it is not the same.

I have had some vegetarian patties that were very good, but they were not trying to mimic a meat patty. I've had some really good bean patties. But I do not want veggie patties that try to mimic meat. If I want meat, I'll eat meat.
