If you haven't had cheese in 25 years, I can see how you'd think the snotty vegan approximations are acceptable.

Fair enough point on its face, but if you haven't tried any new offerings lately, you should check in. I've made grilled cheese and quesadillas for vegetarians that couldn't tell the difference. Probably the more specialty or fancier cheeses don't have good substitutes yet. I hope they don't bother replicating feta ;)

Oh hey, I tried vegan feta in salads recently, and it was almost indistinguishable (to me), which was surprising! I didn't expect it to actually be good, lol

That's cool. I could never stand feta, even before I was vegan.

It's feta. It'd be hard to distinguish them in the trash can.

There's a bunch of vegan feta cheeses in Germany. The one we've been buying the most recently is from Lidl's own vegan brand "Vemondo" and costs like 1,30€ for 150g. It's really good - melts the same as "og" feta, has a good consistency when raw, and tastes like actual feta.
