The mouth feel is very similar, and really nice while you're chewing. The aftertaste even makes me think back to the days ...
Cheesy Thyme Waffles
Definitely not the prettiest dish of the bunch, but I just had to post this one. For me, while looks are quite important most of the time, taste reigns supreme at the end of the day. This dish hits the nail on the head when it comes to taste. Time to get our cheese on...waffle style!

Keto Bites: General Tso’s Chicken
One of my all-time favorites. My go-to when I used to order from the Chinese take away. One of the reasons I got fat in the first place. General Tso's Chicken.
