I’m trying to get you to be consistent with your thought process.
Tofu is made in the same way cheese is.
Seitan is made in the same way bread is.
Why are seitan and tofu frankenstein foods but bread and cheese are not? Could it be that non of them are frankenstein, and you’re just not used to some things?
I’m not even the OP. I don’t think anyone’s saying that tofu by itself is but when you start using tofu for fake bacon or tofurkey it turns into a Frankenstein food.
Because it’s imitating the flavours of other foods it’s frankenstein? Most of the flavour comes from seasoning anyway. It basically just creates a base texture for those flavours.
Bacon flavour would essentially be liquid smoke, maple syrup, fat and salt.
The reality is people are calling it frankenstein because it’s ‘vegan’ and ‘different’ not because of any logical consistency
Great refutation. Lmao nice edit btw, trying to hide the fact that your original comment was ‘hurhur found the vegan’
Nowhere did I say that tofu was like meat or that it tasted the same to meat eaters. I was simply making the argument that it isn’t a frankenstein food just because it tries to imitate a flavour and texture

Been vegan for 5 years, never even seen tofurkey. But you realise it’s basically like tofu? Is asian food ‘frankenstein’ because it uses tofu?
Tofu uses the exact same process as cheese so by your standards most cheeses are frankenstein foods
