I know several people that feel like your daughter. She probably has

no memory of what meat tastes like, not many of us remember that far

back, so to her it is too much like the real thing.

 

I ate meat aboout 26-27 years ago, so I know it tastes very different,

so if anything, I find them funny. There is a veggie restaurant near

me that serves a chicken analog leg and it even has a little stick to

pretend it is a bone. It made me giggle. I do not buy meat analogs

for myself, mostly becasue when I became veggie I was too poor to

afford them and I learned to cook wihtout them. I do eat them out of

the house and when other people get them, it is a very nice gesture

that I appreciate, and they do taste good (some of them).

My daughter, 2.5 is the same way... Likes tofu, will crumble it to resemble

scrambled eggs, but hates the chicken and cow analogues.  I refuse to give her

the riblets, as I enjoy them too much to let her chew them up and spit them out!

LOL
