Ok but a lot of the “replacement” I do is on par with replacing the original meat from a recipe to one that’s more palatable to American tastes. Black bean tacos are just as authentic as chicken tacos are. Chickpea or lentil curry is often more authentic than chicken curry considering the widespread long standing culture of vegetarianism on the Indian subcontinent. Falafel predates doner. And sometimes substitutions can be just good. I have a lentil shepherds pie I really like and did even when I’d just quit meat.

Some other foods that don’t need meat to be good and healthy are chili with beans, tortilla soup, and beans and rice.
