Dried soy as a meat substitute

Either I eat (good) meat or I eat vegetables. But compulsively producing sausages, schnitzels or whatever out of soy or whatever, I find sick. Especially since it’s supposed to taste like meat.

Nowadays it is not sick to consciously want to give up meat, even if you like meat. Soy is a source of protein, just like peas and others. Times have simply changed: just compare pea protein with smart home – simply a modern alternative. The former to meat, the latter to the light switch.

Soak in soy sauce and wine for at least half an hour, with chili, oregano... and preferably buy the small version (small cubes) rather than the "steaks," because the smaller, the better the stuff absorbs. Cooked in this juice, it tastes quite good! "Good meat" for me is only what still hangs on the whole, living creature.

What Nordanney probably means are the products called Leberkäse, Gyros, and the like, where additives are used to try to recreate the originals.

Wine and soy sauce probably don't belong in the luggage.

That reminds me, once I threw very fine (similar to minced meat) into a spicy chili and cooked it there. No one noticed. You don't taste the individual components, and the tongue is fooled into thinking it's minced meat.
I can't manage the size of sliced meat.

Meat and sausage come from the butcher next door, who gets his animals from the local area without factory farming. Pasture cows, sheep from the Hochrhön.

For me, that's the right kind of meat. And with that, I gladly have vegetables (or even dishes without meat) ==> if tofu and stuff like that really tasted good, that would work too
For me, it's just that the shelves are full of schnitzels, sausages, goulash, etc. And then it's "just" the desperate attempt to imitate meat.

And the OP has already explained in the first post that he cannot take real meat hiking, so real meat is not an option

This is getting very ideological again, but as a confessed meat lover, I’ll also add my two cents. If you like meat, you simply don’t like to consume something that doesn’t taste like meat and also doesn’t have the texture of meat. If you like animals, you can think about whether you are doing animals you eat a favor by eating them. That is a dissonance everyone has to deal with on their own, and ultimately the majority of society decides what is allowed within that framework. Beyond that, everyone can decide for themselves what consequences they bear, from total abstinence from meat to selective consumption.

I think the meat substitute products made from various plant-based ingredients are not really good; I’d rather have normal tofu or a purely vegetable stir-fry. If affordable meat substitute products existed that had the same tactile and taste properties as meat, I would give up meat. In this respect, I am in favor of further research in this area; I try regularly, but so far I haven’t found anything that meets my standards.

Und der TE hat bereits im ersten Post erklärt dass er richtiges Fleisch nicht zum Wandern mitnehmen kann, also ist echtes Fleisch keine Option

That depends a bit on why. It sounded like preservation reasons. Beef jerky works excellently for that. Depending on the drying, it can last up to a month without any problems. If vacuum-packed, probably even longer. Heat is less the problem than moisture. Processing during production with nitrile gloves (latex imparts flavor) also helps.
