But if you really want a meaty flavor, free glutamate and other bits of fully-digested protein are your friends.
- Probably your cheapest solution, on a per-meal basis, would be to buy pure glutamate (Aji-no-moto is a common brand that is extracted from bacteria-fermented sugar or starch. I found a large package for a few dollars in a Hispanic food store.)
- Yeast flakes are rather pricey ($8 per pound at my local health food store and twice that on Ebay) but are also a good choice.
- Soy sauce and vegetable bouillon paste are not such a good deal per meal (and usually quite high in sodium), but much cheaper per container.
- Canned tomato paste is cheap (a little goes a long way) and has a hint of savory too.
Of course if you are willing to eat cheese, some good Parmesan would go a long way to satisfying that craving for savory flavors.11 years ago
Check out a book I recently found, Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss. There is a companion cookbook too with recipes for soy and nut substitutes for all those. He gave up all dairy and meat because of fear of disease, and raised a family on these substitutes. He did this, btw, in 1940ish before we had tofu in every grocery store.

Seitan is a good substitute. But variation is the best. Try seitan, tofu, soya, beans, etc.

I hear that any vegetarian is a good substitute for meat... If there was a tasty substitute for meat, more people would be willing to become vegetarian. You have to either face up to the fact that your body is programed to like high-energy foods or blame the conspiracy of ultra-vegans who are keeping the movement pure by suppressing any good tasting substitutes for meat : )
