But you would maybe eat meat if the flavor/aroma were OK, no? I realize this is getting into a 'duck typing' sort of question but I don't think "I just don't like the taste of meat" is really what most people think of by vegan/vegetarian.

I don't eat mashed potatoes, but it's not because of some reverence for the humble potato or concern about industrialization of farming, it's just because I don't like the taste.
