Only two kinds of unbelievers are vegetarians. One is that they can't eat greasy food for physical reasons, so they can only eat vegetarian food. The other is a vegetarian who usually eats less meat and prefers vegetarianism.
In fact, it is absolutely impossible for a vegetarian restaurant to rely entirely on the flow of Buddhist disciples and Buddhists to meet its own income. True Buddhist disciples and believers eat vegetarian food very simply, without too many tricks.
Many times, vegetarian restaurants cater to non-believers who are vegetarian. These vegetarians don't fast, they just like vegetarianism. Moreover, vegetarianism is not simply eating, but also needs color, fragrance, taste and taste, and needs exquisite dishes. Even business guests should make vegetarian dishes the best.
Therefore, vegetarian restaurants must have exquisite vegetarian dishes to cater to these mainstream consumer groups. Fish, shrimp, ribs, beef and other soy products made of "vegetarian" meat dishes came into being.
Opening a restaurant always makes money, and no one will do anything at a loss. Therefore, it is very normal for vegetarian dishes to imitate meat. And ordinary diners like us who eat once in a while still taste very good.
I hope my answer will satisfy you. Pay attention if you like, thank you!
A friend is a chef in a vegetarian restaurant, but he loves meat very much. He told me that vegetarianism is actually a gimmick.
I went shopping with my wife the other day and went to a shopping mall he often went to. After shopping, we are going to find a place to eat. Suddenly, we found a new restaurant on the fifth floor of the shopping center. There is a big word "Su" on the signboard, and then the name of the hotel is very simple and elegant, which makes people feel detached at first glance. From the outside of the hotel, the decoration of this restaurant is also very elegant.
When we entered the restaurant and sat down, the waiter brought us the menu, and then told us that the specialty of their restaurant was vegetarian food. Their home is a restaurant specializing in vegetarian dishes, so there will be that big character at the door. To tell the truth, I'm not interested, because I'm a carnivore and I'm not interested in vegetarian food, but my wife is very interested. He told me that vegetarianism is definitely better than eating meat, and it is very healthy. I am already very fat, so this vegetarian meal is also a good choice. Finally, we decided to eat in this restaurant.
I looked at the menu brought by the waiter, and it was really interesting. Although this is a vegetarian restaurant, the menu is not like this. kung pao chicken, braised pork and Buddha jumps over the wall. I quickly asked the waiter what was going on. The waiter told me that although the name of the dish is vegetarian, it is all made of vegetarian dishes. It tastes healthy and there is no need to have it.
This is quite fresh. Although the dish is a meat dish, it should be made of other materials first, so it should have a different flavor. So my wife and I ordered several dishes, all famous meat dishes, to see how this restaurant would cook these dishes. After a while, the dish of 1 was served. It's kung pao chicken. Needless to say, it really looks like the real kung pao chicken and smells good. So I couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in my mouth. It tastes particularly like kung pao chicken. The sour and sweet taste is really delicious, even like the taste. The waiter told me that it was made of Pleurotus eryngii, which was really interesting.
The second course is braised pork. I took a look. Is this really not braised pork? Because it is so similar, even the fragrance is the same, and the shape is more similar. Put it in your mouth for a while at home. It tastes salty and delicious. I tasted it this time. This braised pork is made of wax gourd, which is really surprising, although it is definitely different from the real braised pork.
The third course is the Buddha jumping over the wall, which is also the most expensive person in our order. The Buddha jumps over the wall in the same way as the real Buddha jumps over the wall. It is also in a small porcelain bowl. Smell it. It smells really good. Smell it and you will know that it has been stewed for a long time. Putting a spoonful in your mouth is really not much different from the real Buddha jumping over the wall. So I immediately looked at his ingredients and found that there were no sea cucumbers and abalones.
We are satisfied with this meal, but the final settlement price is also very expensive, much more expensive than eating the same meat dishes. This actually makes me curious. Obviously, it is a restaurant that specializes in vegetarian dishes, but it has to make all kinds of dishes into meat dishes. Later, I met a friend who is the chef of this vegetarian restaurant. He told me that the so-called vegetarian diet is just a gimmick, because there are always people who think that vegetarianism is healthier than eating meat, and it is more expensive, more profitable and has more guests, so there will be more and more vegetarian restaurants.
As the name implies, such a restaurant is a restaurant specializing in vegetarian dishes. At present, the common forms are mainly self-occupation and dinner party. The general form of self-help is a little cheaper. Of course, the quality of the dishes is similar to that of home cooking, such as a vegetarian restaurant that orders food. The price may be higher, and the dishes made are relatively exquisite, with better taste and taste. Generally speaking, the dishes often used in these vegetarian restaurants are all kinds of mushrooms, because the taste is similar to that of meat, and soy products and starch products are also often used. There is only one controversial ingredient, that is, eggs, which are used in restaurants and some are not.
The first is the concept of vegetarianism and health. In fact, the concept of vegetarian health has been widely circulated, and it has been particularly sought after in recent years, making everyone feel that vegetarianism is healthier than eating meat. In fact, many people can't live without eating meat in their daily lives, so once they have a chance to eat a vegetarian meal, they will think it is a kind of health preservation and feel that eating vegetarian food is completely acceptable psychologically, so the number of potential consumers will increase.
Second, the profit is high. Vegetarian restaurants are very profitable for a simple reason. Under the same cooking technology, the prices of vegetarian dishes and some ordinary mushrooms are much lower than those of meat, but the prices are similar to those of meat products, even higher than those of similar meat dishes, which leads to a very high profit difference and high net profit, so you can make a lot of money. Therefore, when the word spreads, more and more people will join in.
The third is novelty. In fact, every kind of catering product and catering industry has a outlet. Vegetarian restaurants are currently in a novel outlet. Because customers don't know much about this food industry, most people still hear about it 1 time, so a novel consumer psychology will be generated, just like a catering industry is born every once in a while among online celebrities, such as braised chicken and mala Tang in previous years.
The first is to produce contrast. As for why vegetarian dishes should be made into meat dishes, one of the main reasons is contrast. The same dish, with meat and vegetarian dishes, tastes similar, but it also has a unique experience, which makes consumers feel that this vegetarian dish is really delicious, and it can really make vegetarian dishes as good as meat, so that consumers can recognize the hotel's technology and naturally want to spend.
The second is to improve the quality of dishes. There is no denying that the grade of meat dishes does look higher than that of vegetables. For example, the menu in the restaurant is full of all kinds of vegetables, such as stir-fried cabbage and spicy stir-fried cabbage, which makes it difficult for people to have an appetite. However, if there are meat dishes such as braised pork and boiled meat slices, the family will feel that their appetite will increase greatly and will be slightly upgraded. Therefore, even the meat dishes made of vegetarian dishes will still use the name of the meat dishes, and more can be used.
Third, meat is really more delicious than vegetables. This is actually a very simple point. If vegetables are really more delicious than meat, you can make meat without vegetarian dishes. So even chefs and operators subconsciously think that meat is more delicious than vegetarian dishes. So in order to make consumers feel that this dish is really delicious, use the form and name of meat dish to let those who want to eat meat but have to be vegetarian or want to stay healthy know that it is the same to eat this as a substitute to promote consumption.
In fact, it is really a gimmick to use the names of these meats to make vegetarian dishes, because the dishes made in this way are more expensive, more acceptable and even have a sense of contrast. I think this vegetarian dish tastes really good, and it also makes use of people's psychology, making it easier for customers to accept vegetarian dishes, so it is also a marketing tool.
Being a vegetarian is a good thing, but it doesn't mean eating meat is bad. So you can experience it in this special vegetarian restaurant, but you can't worship it blindly. Eating only meat or vegetarianism is not good for your health, but you should pay attention. Once a thing goes to extremes, it is definitely not good.
1. Artificial meat is rich in protein, vitamins, calcium and other nutrients. It has a certain health care function and is very suitable for women to eat. Can nourish the body and keep healthy.
2, slimming and losing weight
Although artificial meat has high nutritional value, it contains a small amount of fat and has low calories. Eating it can enhance the body's satiety and help to lose weight.
Perhaps it is because more people eat vegetarian food in recent years, so there are more vegetarian restaurants, whether it is Buddhist vegetarian food or to protect animals.
And the proportion of vegetarians around me is also increasing. I have also been to some vegetarian restaurants and vegetarian buffets. The taste is good, and there are many varieties, as well as braised pork made of taro and fried meat made of mushrooms.
It can also be regarded as satisfying the idea that everyone wants to eat delicious food and be a vegetarian.
Because some people who lose weight think that vegetarian dishes will not gain weight, they go to eat vegetarian dishes, but they don't know that most vegetarian dishes cooked in restaurants outside have to be oiled, such as vegetarian chicken and tofu, which have to be oiled and mixed with various seasonings, so eating vegetarian dishes is really boiled.
Some people like it, others don't.
That means they still want to eat meat!
