I wonder more and more why we even go down that path. "Like meat" is hitting the consistency more and more and you can create the flavor artificially. See thought emporium for "chicken flavored soup" on that. Recipe for diy [VIDEO]

wat. Did you watch the same video? [VIDEO] Here's a simple test you can try yourself: put some food in your mouth and hold your nose. What do you taste? Now do it again with your nose not blocked. Try this for various foods. I got this from Science and Cooking: [LINK] The first chapter talks about how aroma is a component of flavor and you can use this test to identify if your ingredients are giving you taste (tongue) or aroma molecules (nose)
