Insects. The meat would then be reprocessed into something different.

That's the first thing I thought of as well. Other invertebrates would presumably work too. There's already no taboo against eating crustaceans, and mollusks are generally acceptable as well. Though you probably have to restrict molluskivorism (that's my word of the day) to gastropods and other less complex organisms to avoid the ethical and cost problems that would come with cuttlefish, squid, and octopus farming.

Insect cells don't have the compounds that makes meat taste like meat.

On the other hand, meat doesn't really have much of a taste. It's more about the texture. If you forget to add spices to your meat, it tastes like nothing.

That's completely false. Even the most bland piece of meat has some taste.
I understand you don't eat chicken breast without spices or some sauce but most pieces of meat are pretty good as they are, especially if it has some fat.
Maybe if you grew up somewhere where spices are used a lot you can't enjoy food without them, but that doesn't make your comment true.

That's a truly bizarre assertion.
When I eat a good steak, I don't want spices on it, because I enjoy the taste of the meat.
Different meats have a wide range of flavour.
