I wonder if there's a vegan equivalent to salami? The best part of salami is the spices they put in it so surely there could be a plant based equivalent to the filling part
I think it is also the fat which has absorbed the spices and spreads that flavour through the dish. You could probably infuse an oil with the spices and use that in a lot of dishes, but if you are trying to get something to eat like a stick of salami it would be tricky to get that sort of texture etc.
Probably one thing that would help there is animal fat goes solid whereas plant oils usually stay liquid. Maybe something like tofu could absorb all the flavours
