When I went vegetarian years ago I hated it for the first few weeks.. Because I was trying veggie/vegan versions of all the dishes I knew how to make. When I started exploring actual just veggie/vegan recipes that weren't trying to be a fake meat version did it feel incredibly easy.

It's exactly as you said, the fake version is never as good and you'll most of the time be comparing it to the real thing.. But meals that just happen to be vegetarian/vegan? They can be amazing on their own! I've never looked back since I started exploring new recipes instead of alternative versions of old.

To me the role of the "fake" stuff isn't to replace it as staples in my diet but to let me have some old comforts once in a while, or at least something to fill the gap. When you've been veg for a few years a fake chicken finger can do a decent job of scratching the itch for something like that, even if you know it's not the same

At least for me. Mileage varies depending on what you like about the original
