"True vegetarians don't really care too much about these products. They're quite expensive, and many of us have a particular love of good vegetables and cooking techniques. The meat is not really missed." Just because you've chosen to willfully deny yourself the flavor and texture of meaty goodness, that doesn't mean that other people don't still crave it, whether animal- or vegetable-sourced. And no, I do cook a lot of veggie dishes (my girlfriend is a strong proponent of traditional German veggie dishes) and every single one that has been touted as "so meaty and satisfying" has definitely been found lacking in that area.
