dude you're letting "being contrarian" define your whole identity. reconsider your life
There's nothing contrarian here. I'm saying a vegan hot dog trying to imitate a regular one will be bad. Make vegan food that's actually good and embraces what it is made out of instead of trying to replace a regular meat item.
The fact there are responses here literally saying to lie to people about what they're being fed is insane.
Will a vegan hot dog probably not be as tasty as the real thing? Yeah, but if you're vegetarian/vegan you occasionally have a hankering for a hot dog, and this can get you at least halfway there, who cares? Don't be an ass and insult what people want to eat just because it offends your sensibilities, which seems to be the main reason people are down voting you.
I actually find the vegan alternatives taste better than the meat based ones (I'm thinking primarily about burgers, the vegan hotdogs/sausages I tried some years ago were borderline inedible).
I was thinking more the smartdogs, or whatever they're called, not the greatest (texture is fine but the taste is pretty off) rather than sausages. Those do usually satisfy that hankering for a hot dog if you add katsup, mustard, onions and whatever else you want on a dog, even if they aren't as good as the sausages (which I agree are pretty good).
But it's not bad. It's good. It's like really good.
It's good enough to take a picture of and share online. It's good enough to see online and make your mouth water. It's good enough that I plan my meals to get some, and I'm looking forward to eating two of my own on Monday (pictured):
If you just don't like it, that's fine. That's your taste, and I'm not going to try and tell you that your taste is wrong because that's totally subjective.
I don't like tempeh, but I'm not going to go around saying tempeh sucks and you should stop enjoying it, because that's just debating a matter of taste.
