It’s been decades since I’ve eaten meat of any kind and the idea makes me queasy in general. However, I have fond memories of holidays and big family breakfasts and don’t have a problem recreating things like that. Given the right seasonings, you can approximate things and even improve them. A little pineapple, tamari, and proper maple syrup, and you’re halfway there!
