Most people wouldn't like the taste of unsaltened unseasoned, raw meat or unprocessed milk. It's all a matter of processing foods.

True you can by vegan and not eat substitutes. I personally love veggie and vegan substitutes to meat. I have never eaten meat so I do not associate any of the products with meat. They don't have to be expensive, in fact the last time I went to morrisons my vegan chicken pieces were cheaper than real chicken pieces. Also making your own things like seitan doesn't have to be pricey at all. Veggie and vegan products can be really helpful for people transitioning or people who miss the flavour but don't want to be responsible for the suffering. The ability to make plant-based food taste like meat when no animal has to be harmed surely proves to staunch meat eaters that there is not need for the animal suffering. A lot of veggies and vegans still crave meat, but do not want to eat it due to the animals suffering, therefore they can satiate their craving with substitutes then what is the harm. I am very stubborn so when people tell me that as a vegan I cannot eat something or cannot make traditional recipes I like to be able to prove that I can. I made an amazing "chicken" "bacon" and mushroom pie the other day and my meat eaters friends couldn't tell the difference. Substitutes just add some variety and an extra depth of flavour to a meal, by no means do you have to eat them all the time, but they taste good to most people and no animals are harmed so whats the problem.

This is very true. And protein wise you'd be okay too if you kept an eye on protein intake, which sources to use and protein combining. I just got done making a list of protein sources for my superior at work who wants to put on muscle (she's undermuscled) on her already vegetarian diet and she wants to transition to vegan down the road. Some vegan protein sources out perform animal sources when it comes to how many grams of protein per 100gr of product there is. And this is not counting substitutes and protein powders.

Soak tofu in coconut milk! My partner just did that the other day and it adds this amazing coconut flavor to tofu, especially in something like a Thai stirfry. Another good way to get water out of tofu is to freeze it. Unfortunately afterwards it does want to crumble but you can cut it into chunks after its defrosted.

I have to question the concept of some of these foods. So you choose to be vegan, all well and good, and that's a decision to not eat meat. So then why, of all the things you can do and have, are you recreating meat with science? The whole point of being vegan, in general, is that you do not like eating meat or animal products. Yet in this video alone you have eggs, duck, steak, cheese, and "beef" jerky. Why pretend to eat meat with these poor substitutes that generally all taste bad? You have perfectly good natural vegetables, and good products like tofu that you can flavor and savor every which way, but you're eating these bad science experiment fake meats. Why? That just seems so phony of a person to say "I don't eat meat or animal products" and then do everything in their power to attempt to recreate meats with... whatever those "steaks" and "duck" are made from. Surely there's better things to eat out there than imitation meat.

@graceking5679

Firstly taste is very much a personal thing. I personally love veggie and vegan substitutes to meat. I have never eaten meat so I do not associate any of the products with meat. Very few of the flavourings are achieved with chemicals, it's just built up flavour dimensions through seasoning, like the egg smell is black salt, which isn't unnatural. Veggie and vegan products are not solely for veggies and vegans and the ability to make plant-based food taste like meat when no animal has to be harmed surely proves to staunch meat eaters that there is not need for the animal suffering. A lot of veggies and vegans still crave meat, but do not want to eat it due to the animals suffering, therefore they can satiate their craving with substitutes then what is the harm. They cannot all taste bad or they wouldn't be for sale. Sainsbury's vegan cheese outsold its estimations by 300% and the growth of the vegan food industry in the past year has been by 1500%. It cant be all bad

MysticJhn the point of being vegan is not eating animal products, because eating animal products harms animals, and the environment. People don't just do it for the sake of it. If those substitutes don't come from animals, they are not harming either of those things, they are just something nice to have to add some variety to your meals. What would be the point of limiting your diet to only plain vegetables If you can make something cool out of them by mixing them together? :)

@MysticJhn

Vegan products really ought to be solely for vegan people. If you want steak, just eat a steak. As for the animal suffering... you yourself are an animal, and eating other animals is just what carnivorous animals do. Reguardless of living conditions (which these days are well regulated), you have to kill an animal to eat it, and technically that's no worse than what you do to a corn plant or a soy plant. You're killing that living creature for your food. Just because plants haven't a mouth to scream with doesn't make you less of a killer just because it's not animal. If your concern is harming a living being, then you shouldn't be eating at all. Anything you eat that isn't a living being wouldn't sustain you and then you'd just be being cruel to yourself. And while taste is subjective, agreed, these things clearly do not taste like their intended imitatated meat. Most professional chefs wouldn't even touch such things because they are typically such poor quality. Again, either you want to eat meat or you don't, but there's no point faking it. These animals are raised and bred to be meat with the exception of hunted animals, and hunting animals is nature, even if humans have learned to give themselves an advantage. Believe that if other animals had human levels of intelligence and tool making, we'd be as farmed and bred for livestock as any cow or chicken or pig us humans eat. Now, I'm not trying to be preachy and tell you eat meat. If you enjoy it, then be vegan or vegetarian. Just don't lie to me and tell me you don't want meat, then immediately eat meat substitute. Eat actual vegetables, grains, and what have you. A carrot isn't pretending to be something. A carrot is a carrot. This fake meat is like me dying a chicken wing green and calling it a vegetable because it's a similar color. If I was making 100% animal based products that I sold as vegetables, it would probably be an outrage.

My kid is a celiac and can't eat wheat. I've found that it works best to not try and make things that are supposed to have wheat in them in favor of things that are supposed to be gluten free. I'd imagine its very similar with meat. Steaks, in general, are made from meat. There are tons of fantastic stuff that isn't faux meat and work out much better. To be honest, Lentil tacos are superior to meat tacos. Meatballs made with faux hamburger are not that good, but naturally, vegetarian ricotta balls are fantastic.

The vegan flavour is likely nutritional yeast, as people say that has a cheesey flavour to it, and it's quite good for you :) For the people who think this is a typical vegan diet, try thinking of this along the same lines as the tasting foreign food videos. They are novelty things, exciting things, they aren't the staple of the country that they come from. Same applies here :)

Tofu and (wheat gluten), or seitan, are quite versatile and can actually be quite tasty as long as it's cooked with the right ingredients/seasonings. You should try them in some Asian recipes (kind of like how you used Hoisin sauce)! I'm nowhere near vegan myself but Asian vegan food is quite delicious. I'm from a Vietnamese household (although living in Canada) and my mom cooks vegan a few times each year; traditions dictate that we are supposed to eat vegetarian (we don't really make a distinction between vegan and vegetarian in our culture by the way) on some days for various celebrations. I always get a bit excited when she makes vegetarian dishes or when she brings back some dishes she bought from the Buddhist temple after whatever celebration she was there for.

With the right seasoning combinations - tofu can make a good scrambled egg replacement - since the texture is basically like omelette anyway.

I never could get down with tofu..also gagged when you took that tofu from the tin 😂

I'm not about to scroll through all the comments so this may have already been pointed out. The reason the mock duck and the vegan steak were so similar is that they are most likely seitan aka wheat gluten. It takes flavors very well and is my favorite meat substitute when I'm having to make something for vegan friends. I'm a dedicated omnivore personally.

Using fake meat definitely takes more effort, time, and creativity in the kitchen. I rarely use it just because vegetables are so much easier to work with and you can do a lot of trickery with them. Buffalo wings made from cauliflower?? SO freakin good!

The soya "steaks" work really well in small chunks in curries and stews and stuff. You can occasionally find the soya chunks in world food aisles and stuff in supermarkets, so if you do another one of these it might be worth giving them a try!

your dog's are so cute

(1) I'm vegan (both for the lack of animal cruelty and for health reasons) but enjoy watching most food channels and love Barry's channel. (2) Amazing the hate that is generated in some carnivores when someone chooses not to have an animal product in a meal. (3) Other comments have suggested that fake meats need lots of flavourings (just like real meat) - not that I use them a great deal, maybe once or twice a month (4) Good idea by one comment about the carrot and the coconut wraps, try soaking them for a few seconds in water. Overall, I'm glad you tried them - would love it if occasionally you would try to cook a plant-based dish.

I'm vegan and have never tried most of this stuff! I eat mostly whole foods. A lot of 'regular' food is also vegan- bread, pasta, rice, tortillas, bagels, etc etc are all vegan for a start. Those carrot wraps aren't typical foods for most vegans. I'd recommend you check out the vegan society website! To everyone else who is questioning why vegans may want egg/meat substitutions too: veganism is an ethical stance. the objection is with the suffering and exploitation, not with the flavours or textures. Again, the vegan society website explains more about this but i would also recommend bite size vegan here on youtube!

The eggs are really good with a bit of onion, bell peppers, mushroom etc it takes on the flavor of the veg. Also much better if you use the mixer.

I loved the braised tofu, I have it in salads a lot. But tofu isn't really a vegan product. it's an ancient eastern food that wasn't even developed as a substitute to meat. It is a product in it's own right

This is one of my top reasons to enjoy my Sundays

the braised tofu looks like dried bean curd (pretty much tofu skin) if you are at a dim sum restaurant, they use it in several dishes. very delish

Cool! I've been mostly pant-based for about 6 months and I usually just each a ton of rice, beans and frozen veggies with curry powders and fresh herbs. Something that I've really enjoyed is a veg stock soup with rice noodles. Other ingredients such as soya sauce, peanut cilli oil, sesame oil are critical, and then you put butt-tons of veg in it. Yummmm

if you decide to try the mock duck again(and i hope you do), it should be strained before you eat it. putting it in a stew or just frying it for a while will also really help the taste. I really recommend putting it in tikka masala or just dump it in with some veggies and coconutmilk. Dont forget to season!

I really enjoyed this video! I'm not vegan but sometimes i like to pick vegan options and see if i can slowly transition. Also im gluten and dairy free for health reasons so i love new kinds of foods! I love the vegan cheese! To me it taste like butter and i never eat it unmelted. The tofu in a can looks like tofu skin which is very popular in chinese dishes :) It's a lot nicer in a oyster sauce kind of stew or marinated savoury saucy dishes. The gluten is also really popular in chinese dishes in gravy like stir fry, i use to love it so much when i was younger. That steak just did not even look like steak lol I've got some imitation pork in the fridge i'm not rushing to try lol I think it's awesome there's so many vegan options out there now and hopefully they can start making most of them gluten and soy free :D

all that stuff looked nasty. ive seen vegan bacon in tesco and it looked like vomit that had been runover. just short of 19 mins of barry not liking anything except the 'cheese' at the end. saying that standard stuff like linda mccartney range arent too bad.

Love the way how Boston chills at the beginning of the video & when it goes to the eating stuff he raises his head just like he knows whats going on! :D Greetings from germany :)

the steaks is good if you season them! I let them chill in a mix of chili, garlic, salt, soy, bbqsauce and oil before cooking them!

I don't know if they have the Gardein brand there, but they have a lot of really good vegan substitutes if you're looking for something that is meat-like for next taste test! Also, for both of those wraps, you're suppose to let them set for a few minutes after making your roll, or warm them a few seconds before using them. It softens them up and gets rid of the "postage-stamp" quality =)

Hey you should try and make your own gluten also known as Seitan, what you do is mix wheat flour with water, try and find a flour with 20-30% protein, then you wash out all the starch from the dough by putting it in cold water a couple of times until the water stops becoming white, you want to get rid of all the starch, you should end up with a yellow and very stringy dough, then you can slow cook it on low heat in a broth for about 2 hours. End result should be something like a christmas ham.

Your pugs are so cute. Looks like they're waiting for treats the whole time lol The carrot paper makes me think of fruit roll-ups

Those puppies in the background are the cutest!!!

Barry, as a former vegan, the only way I ever enjoyed Tofu was to deep fry it and have it with szechuan sauce - it has a sort of chewy bread texture then. Not healthy, but tasty.

The problem with a Vegan diet is they are trying to create food that looks similar, taste similar and everything else to mimic food people eat that it fails miserably. They need to come up with a diet of their own and stick with that. I am not a vegan, but I have tried vegan foods that attempt to mimic a regular diet and it always fails.

" not everyone is vegan cause they hate how meat is" Didn't say that was the reason why they would. What I did say was they are trying to make it appealing to those that are vegan's so it will seem like they can still have their favourite food. "mostly because they want to stop cruelty and killing the planet. No they don't. You still need to kill plants to make vegan food. Studies have shown that plants will cry out and plants nearby will react. They will only eat food that doesn't involve animals at all. "Plus it helps people transition into veganism, nothing wrong with it." A bit deceitful, you go and find out that you can still have a steak or eggs, go buy one and find out that it is nothing like the real thing. As I said they should come up with a new diet/food and stop trying to mimic other foods. If they are making a steak it needs to taste like one, if they are making cheese or eggs it needs to taste like it. If not don't do it that is what I am saying.

Your dogs are so adorable

Late to the party but the best place in the UK for a good range of vegan stuff would be Holland and Barrett or specialist stores. Other than online of course. Some suggestions if you fancied doing another taste test: Anything from Linda McCartney - (Especially the pulled pork burgers or the sausages) ASDA's popcorn chicken style balls V'bites (duck pieces, chicken strips and mini sausages are particularly nice) Sheese (as someone not too fond of cheese you'd probably prefer the original which is like philadelphia) Fry's mock meats - they do quite a big range It would also be really interesting if you could get your hands on some of the brands that are currently only widely available in the US like Gardein, Beyond Meat and Field Roast.

2:06 oh yes I love it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 definitely gonna have fun with that one haha

Probably "vegan spice" in cheese might be deactivated yeast. I don't tolerate dairy, so I use it all the time to mimic cheese taste.

Here in the States, there's a chain of grocery stores called Trader Joe's that sells a frozen vegan tikka masala. I'm not vegan nor vegetarian, but I think it's actually really good for being meatless (even the "meat" is actually alright).

The vegan egg is better with black salt. I don't eat much fake meat or cheese after three years vegan. I have tried most things I could, and decided not to do much. I sometimes enjoy a good bbq Seitan or tofu, but just like you said, lots of other flavors. And most vegan cheeses at worst have no flavor or leave me with a awful sour taste in my mouth. Fruit, Veggies, Grains, Nuts, Seeds, and I am good.

I'm a vegan and I don't bother with the fake stuff in general. When I made the move from vegetarian a couple of years I did worry about missing cheese though. Vio-Life is really good. It's really like emmental, or a mild cheddar. The stuff you get in Holland and Barrat. "Cheezly" is passable if it's in a sauce or something but on it's own has a mad texture and quite a fake smell. Vio-Life's the one.

tofu is the easiest thing to flavour. it's just a like sponge. if you want lots of flavour, squeeze as much liquid out as possible and marinate in whatever you want just like you would with meat. ideally, just as with meat, over night, in the fridge. the tofu will absorb all the flavours, just like meat. or: buy pre-marinated tofu. not just plain oder smoked. proper marinated. they sell it everwhere. also, you should have gotten vegan quorn. I know they sell vegan quorn in the UK.

Siracha & herbs with the scrambled egg ....😋

I've just watched this again... watched it when it was first rwleased. I eat vegan diet but I've never eaten anything to resemble meat. I just don't understand why as a vegan you'd wanna eat something that looks like food you won't eat lol. But I still find it entertaining

You should try the Sainsbury's own diary free cheese, it tastes amazing.Violife cheese is a bit plasticy, but there are many other companies out there, Scheese (who make the Sainsbury's cheese), Vegusto , Vbits. I agree with what other people have said in the comments you haven't selected the best products out there for vegans. Tofu isn't necessarily a vegan product it was developed at least 2000 years ago as a product in it's own right and not as a substitute to meat. Tofu takes on flavouring very well, it needs to be marinated before pressing. The braised tofu is unusal, but it is good in salads, or even for making a vegan version of tuna sweetcorn.

you should try making chickpea cutlets. Super yummy and easy to make. I used to be vegan but had too many deficiencies so..

press the Steak First. When the Steak are in the pan and hot, give soy sauce in the pan. Taste Really good

Barry, next time you try the Gem Wraps, try the Mango Chipotle one, it is SO good, I have gone gluten free after finding out I was Celiac and those are my FAVE of the Gem Wraps. So good.

I use to hate tofu as I thought it was just for vegetarians and vegans but after going to China and marrying my husband who cooks it, it is now my favorite. It just soaks up ALL the flavor and is just amazing if cooked well. You should try asain stirfry or stew with it. Just amazing.

1:28 I couldn't take my eyes off the pug so cute
