When I went vegetarian for a few years, I tried to like tempeh. The texture was… not pleasant. I liked Seitan, but without witchcraft it typically tasted like flavored bread.

If there are some good protein alternatives, I’m all ears. Challenge rating: no tree nuts

Chickpeas? As lone source or with broad beans as falafel?

Oh yeah. I grew up on chickpeas, so they’re a staple in my pantry.

I like tofu, if it’s prepared properly and is a vehicle to deliver flavor. Tempeh just … never did it for me. It always tastes like packing material.
