I really think food like this could have a massive market in India

I'm Indian and lots of my friends are hesitant to eat meat for religious and/or animal rights reasons.

We also don't have the stigma attached to vegetarianism as it is in America. There is no "masculinity = meat" culture here.

Just as a n=1 anecdote, I'm (mostly) vegetarian, and this wouldn't really appeal to me. I might try it out of curiosity (just like I tried chicken and fish), but it isn't something my brain has learnt to crave, and in fact will probably trigger the same kind of mild nausea that non-vegetarian food currently does in me.

I am curious to see how it works out in practice though.
