The raw food movement, which is largely vegan, though some eat raw-milk cheeses and raw seafood, has plenty of amazing recipes that rely on the bold flavors of real food. Soups, salads, all sorts of wonderful ingredients from avocados to zucchini, and nothing to resemble tofurky in the lot.
Reminds me of a scene on the TV show "King of the Hill." Hank Hill has to change his diet, so he goes to the health food store. He's at the "deli."
Clerk: ... And here we have tofu and faux-fu for the tofu-intolerant.
Hank: Do you have anything back there that tastes good?
Clerk: (Long pause.) Mmm. Nope.
