It seems there is a huge effort to make Vegan burgers, vegan hotdogs, etc. Is there anything new in the vegan world or is it constantly trying to make foods to imitate meat based recipes?

    Humans have been eating food for a very long time. There are only so many cooking methods available and we are not creating new fruits or vegetables (unless you count stuff like pink pineapples or pluots or whatever). I think by now we’ve probably tried every possible combination of ingredients imaginable. Most dishes are already recreations or reinterpretations or fusions of more historical dishes. The only food frontier left is creating new highly processed ingredients, and that’s exactly what these meat substitutes are.
