@Infoseepage @SaintlySin @afewbugs There's been a huge boom in quick-cook faux meat products in recent years. Most of them are ultra-processed, more expensive than meat and probably worse for your health too (though, I definitely indulge in them sometimes).
My advice is to explore cuisines and dishes which are "accidentally vegan" - already great without making a substitution. Indian lentil dals, Mexican bean dishes, Japanese tofu dishes, etc.
