That makes sense.

Though I imagine they probably could do higher-fat versions of it, but making the meat seem extra greasy would probably not be a positive.

That's also reasonable. I was like that when I wasn't vegetarian.

But at this point, I just want things that taste good, and I'm not overly picky about what's been done to it.

To be fair, eating healthfully is also a positive thing, but that's kind of a separate issue.

But today I had a sushi roll (or whatever it's called), and it involved cucumber and cream cheese. And I like the vegetarian versions of the rolls, though I was never much a fan of raw fish.

But I _did_ previously have a fake-fish version of... nigiri? I forget. But rice with "fish" on top of it. And that was... interesting. Not bad, and something I'd have again, but I don't really see anything wrong with cucumber or tofu or other more-obviously-veggie ingredients, and the fake fish seems less tasty than the other options.

But not sure how I'd feel if I used to really like raw-fish sushi.
