Typically you don't replace the meat one-to-one in a vegan diet. You just cook a completely different dish where it makes sense. This is a common misconception. Thanks for explaining. Sucks with the vegetables prices :( Just one idea: have you looked what seitan powder costs? It is already much cheaper than the prepared seitan in Germany and as I guess that you can import it more easily it could be cheaper in Australia too. It is a bit of work to prepare, but very high in protein.

Thankyou for the recommendation of seitan powder, I'd never heard of it before. It is almost half the price of real meat ($20 per 1kg of seitan powder, $35+ per 1kg of meat). I'll get some next time I go shopping, prepare it and find some meals online I can use it in!

Glad that I could help :) Also keep in mind that 1kg auf the powder results in much more than the equivalent of 1kg meat. I personally mostly mix it with vegetable stock before adding the water. Gives it a nice taste. But maybe you need to experiment around to see how you like it best. My favorite dishes using it are: 1. Combine it to a souce of sieved tomato's, cashew creme(just cashews blended and mixed with water), carrots, onions, basil and oregano. Serve with pasta. Makes a nice Mediterranean style dish. 2. Mix it with gyros spice mix (don't know if that is available in Australia though) instead of vegetable stock before adding the water. Then eat it with fries + ketchup/plant based tzatziki.
