The vegetable dishes not only taste like their meat counterparts. They did this before. But now they look like them and have the same texture. <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_6\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">Truly<\/span> the finest proponent of this style of vegetarian food I have ever encountered.
