Most meat flavour come from sauces. Your burger mostly tastes of ketchup, mayo, mustard, pickles, and fried onions.
Your steak is slathered in mushroom sauce, your fish is covered in batter or white wine, and your chicken is coated with 11 different herbs and spices.
You're eating meat, but you're tasting condiments.
I like veggie sausages because they fit in hot-dog buns. And burgers because they fit in burger buns. I wouldn't say the attraction is that they taste of "meat" - they're just convenient form factors.
- gridlockd 7y agoThere's some truth to that, but it depends. Properly prepared meat/fish often has great own taste. It depends on (the part of) the animal, of course. You need the right amount of oil (or natural fat) and salt to bring out the flavor. Unfortunately, lots of people prefer boneless, skinless and fat-trimmed meat/fish.
- geggam 7y agoI like sushi and steak tartar. My steaks typically have a bit of himalayan salt and a touch of pepper. I like the flavor of meat. Sauces and whatnot are used to hide the poor meat quality.
