Tastes are different. Frankly, I've been vegan for around 5-6 years by now, so I might also not remember the "original" tastes of some products. Still, I'd imagine there's not much of a difference for many a product. Vegan cheeses can be a little hit or miss when it comes to taste - that's where I notice it the most.
Most meat substitutes, think patties or minced meat or some vegetarian butcher products, taste absolutely like they're animal-derived - no contest. But that's the case for Germany. Not sure what the situation is like in other parts of the world.
