I’m pescetarian, so I will eat fish, most of what I eat is either vegetarian or vegan. So it’s certainly easier for me than you. But here’s the thing, I was brought up this way, therefore I don’t like the taste of meat and don’t want imitation stuff either.
But I have no difficulty with this at all. A lot of dishes just have meat in them, but they really don’t need it, they’re good without it, it’s not the base of the dish. The foods in shops that are prominently labelled “vegan” or “plant based” are primarily meat and dairy alternatives, because there’s no need to label all the other things that have always been inherently plant based. At least in recent years it’s becoming trendy to label these foods “plant based” that would never have had meat in them anyway, it makes it clearer, but it’s not always the case and there’s no real need to.
