I just had a Boca chick'n patty sandwich with Just Mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Fucking amazing. Better than Wendy's honestly, and probably cheaper too.
And tonight I'm going to have some brownies that were made with Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix, some Vegan Egg, and melted Earth Balance. I also like to use black beans blended with water as an egg replacer, but the Vegan Egg is easier clean up and tastes roughly the same. Black beans just give it a slightly denser, fudgier, richer texture (depending on how much water you use of course). Then I'm going to top it with some coconut whipped cream: minimalistbaker.com/how-to-make-coconut-whipped-cream/ And strawberries.
Other products I currently have in my fridge that I love are: Trader Joe's meatless meatballs Trader Joe's Japanese style fried rice Trader Joe's soy creamy cherry chocolate chip ice cream Boca chick'n nuggets Rising Moon Organics Spinach Florentine, and Butternut Squash Ravioli some vegetable dumplings from the 99 cents store that are bomb - not sure what brand, sorry Tater tots Tofurky pepperoni (I like to just snack on it on its own) Tofurky hickory smoked deli slices (also like to snack on these on their own but I do try to resist the urge and actually make sandwiches/wraps with them) Silk soy yogurt, strawberry and peach mango flavors Just Mayo mayo and Caesar dressing Combo of rice vinegar and soy sauce to coat my tofu Monster energy drink
Then of course I have things like lettuce, frozen veggies, watermelon, orange juice, etc.
If you have vegan products in your fridge, feel free to share yours. I can't wait to eat all the delicious food in my fridge. I feel so spoiled right now.
good vegan food is only enjoyed by cannibals. The rest of us have to settle for pork.
Owen Reyes
I would top this with some vanilla cashew ice cream or coconut whipped cream. Mmm. Maybe a dash of cinnamon on top.
Here's another of my favorite vegan products: Follow Your Heart vegan mozzarella. I like to wrap the pizza crust in foil then put it under a broiler with this on top so it gets those nice brown bubbles. So good.

Colton Adams
You're what I like to call a junk food vegan, eating nothing but processed crap.
Logan Barnes
I've always hated pork. Sometimes I think I was just born to be vegan because meat disgusts me so much and I'm so glad I don't feel like I have to eat it anymore. All the veins, tendons, fat, slime, connective tissue, "juice". It's all revolting to me. Vegan meat is like taking the only good part about meat (texture, minus all the nasty shit) and filling it with great flavor. Not saying I haven't tried not so tasty vegan meat before, but the most popular brands like Gardein and Tofurky and Boca are usually pretty delicious. I know a lot of meat eaters who actually have freezers stuffed with Gardein just because they like the taste more than meat.
Charles Morris
So you hate yourself. That's so hot. Wanna fuck?
Thomas Rivera
Nah, there's some lettuce in there too. It is chopped and washed though.
But yeah, I'm a junk food vegan. I'm not vegan for health. Vegan for pic related. That would be pretty easy to do too though, but I really enjoy my junk food/convenience food.
Thomas Turner
I only date vegans. But thanks for the offer.

Why do you guys bother being vegan if all your food has to taste and look like meat? I see your environmental concerns, but you're still being narcissistic about this and promoting the picture and taste of meat by putting twice the amount of products on shelves that look like it.
I am not a vegan defending veganism. I am a rational human being who sees hypocrisy in these vegan mock-foods. If I didn't like milk, I wouldn't create milk free white colored water that tastes just like milk to replace it. Fucking shape up guys, you're being asinine about your diet and morals.
Isaiah Garcia

>why bother being vegan if you're going to eliminate all the bad aspects of eating meat?
I consider anyone who makes this argument to be a half-functioning, full on retard
You're literally just virtue signalling about how you eat real meat like a real man!
You're pathetic and I'd fucking snap in you in half
Adam Gomez
>mayo which has eggs >caesar dressing which has anchovies Get fucked loser
Austin White
And you're rational? Screaming on the internet because I called your vegan food hypocritical?
Packing the shelves with stuff that looks and tastes like meat is still promoting the industry that you're fighting. This is hypocrisy. You are not being reasonable with me about a reasonable complaint. I'm not getting loud with you because I'm not hopped up on hypertension and delerium causing b-vitamins. Just think with a clear head about your new vegan rampage post before you make it.
James Collins

Charles Mitchell
I prefer a nice Kentucky Bluegrass, but on occasion I will eat some Tall Fescue. Fresh cut, of course, to get those nice Green Leaf Volatiles.
Julian Peterson
Lol getting this triggered. Considering howbhard it is for you to get protein, I doubt you would be snapping anything in half. I love your internet enthusiasm though, keep it up faggot.
Jeremiah Hill
1. Not all caesar dressings have Anchovies, some don't (vegan ones) 2. He said Just Mayo, which is a brand of Mayo that uses no eggs (fuck knows how it's made)
Justin Edwards
The substitutes work to ease people into a vegan diet, replace their habitual foods with non-animal foods, and also helps them to utilize some of the same products (hot dog buns for example) that are commonly available. And socializing has a huge component here, where you don't want to be the other, or otherize meat eaters. The mock foods sorta let everyone blend in together. Though I definitely understand your point about meat-substitutes seeming counterproductive. They really ought to be careful with the marketing.
Benjamin Sanders
just make delicious vegan food instead of trying to emulate something that you won't ever truly replicate.
good vegan food is fucking good. IMO that's the true test when i'm trying to judge how good a cook someone is.. make something delicious without the use of animal fat, dairy products, eggs, or honey.
>bonus points if it's gluten free
Jason Stewart
>good vegan food is fucking good Then why do you need to try so hard? If it was good surely people would eat it without having to be prodded into doing so.
Nathaniel Foster
>and you're rational
Yes. Your argument is pants on head retarded. There is nothing hypocritical about eliminating the actual meat aspect of meat. You are a fucking autistic dumbass looking for some moral high ground where there is none
>im not hopped up on hypertension
Very debatable, fatso.
Carson Nelson
The reality is he's selfish and can't spare the time to give a shit about the ideas behind what he claims he is. It's basically a status booster, he gets to tell people that he's vegan but all of his food looks and tastes like meat. All while doubling the number of things that look like meat on the shelves, further promoting the meat industry, but his reasons are personal, so he takes the street cred for being a vegan with his like-minded friends while still pretty much eating meat.
There are positive aspects to his decision, but they are far outweighed by the fact that he's putting more meat and dairy images on shelves than there have ever been. This causes more people to see the products, look at them, and decide to just get the real thing because they know it's better.
The vegans have effectively become the biggest advertisers for meat and dairy on planet earth, between the products they add to your average grocery store and the fact that they literally don't stop talking about dairy/meat all day every day, the 1 cow they don't eat per year is far outweighed by the billions of dollars they add to the industry coffers.
I am not being hostile towards you guys, I'm just wanting to clear up some things. Shit will ALWAYS exist as long as you keep talking about it and recreating it. You need an ALTERNATIVE SHIT to make the aforementioned shit diminish in popularity.
Jonathan Howard
dude i'm not a vegan.
i just work in the industry.. yeah, i'd rather somebody eat my seared albacore w/ seared foie and a mustard/raisin/chicken demi/white ver jus sauce but i can also make a really nice plate of food for somebody that's vegan.
Zachary Hernandez

that's retarded. i've made good boca burgers, but you have to treat them differently. sear them and baste them with browned butter/herbs.. it's just different.

falaffel is delicious.. tahini sauce is delicious. it's a good dish that isn't trying to be anything it's not.
trying to replicate meat with shit that isn't meat is pointless.

Paraphrasing directly defines as to convey the original meaning. That which you have not done. Keep going. I'm up all night. Make yourself stupid by sunrise.
Adrian Sanders
Because sadly we do crave meat after all, it's evolutionary engraved as good in us, we love calory dense food. So it's better to provide vegan "alternatives" that may not really come close but can help fill that gap. Most long term vegans I know eventually gave up on the meat substitutes too, ideally they're supposed to be a temporary help (and as the other user said to make veganism more sociable).
I also see your point, for a long time I thought it was just stupid and pointless. Why be so obsessed with recreating something that's obviously not possible to recreate? I'm not sure which side is stronger, I tend to agree with you a bit more. Veganism should focus on the strengths instead of the "scrifices".
Robert Barnes
I neved said bean burgers. I don't even know what that is. I do know what this button is though.

but we've got nuts, oils of all kind, coconut milk, grains other than wheat, vinegar, spices and herbs, sugar, and of course vegetables that can be roasted/smoked/fried/confited in oil/blanched/fermented/pickled/braised/pureed/juiced/eaten raw.

Just show me where the original poster stated that. Yup. I'm waiting.
I didn't say anything about bean burgers, nothing.
What even is it? We'll soon have more mentions of bean burgers than meat here.
Ethan Adams
You're disgusting.
Christian Wood
That's what I mean, focus on advertising the delicious vegan meals instead of making people think veganism is retarded for obsessing over eating "meat". We agree. I'm not eating vegan yet but if I go that way I'll refer to it as a plant-based diet, fuck the political connotations of word vegan.
Adrian Thompson
i think if vegans focused on an ethos that was pro-plant instead of anti-meat that it would be much more effective at getting people to listen.
the way a lot of vegans act right now really makes the benefits of eating meat even more persuasive since it just seems like condescension and bitterness is the alternative
Zachary Ward
Yeah I doubt the way veganism is now it can actually become mainstream. Unrelated but kinda like how feminism has become abrasive and counterproductive.
Adam Cook
Yea. Paraphrasing. Original meaning.
You no entiende.
But I think you do. Just have a mission. But not very smart.
Just show me where it was stated originally. Just show me. One time
Para...

Meaning.
Jaxson Stewart
Yes. And as I pointed out before YOU got triggered that I NAILED this EXACT meaning and YOUR overall continued Asperger tantrum over BEAN BURGERS
Are YOU going to continue to hilariously type like a Redditurd ASPIE or are YOU finally going to CONCEDE that YOU are getting TRIGGERED over BEAN BURGERS???
Joshua Harris
Take your autism somewhere else.
Brody Lopez
right.. it resorts to shaming instead of offering an appealing alternative, which makes the other side double down on their opinion.
im a sous in a fine dining spot in a coastal city.. top 5 in the city. one of our secrets to success is that we offer a 9 course blind tasting menu in addition to an a la carte menu, and we adhere to every and all dietary restrictions for the blind tasting.
that means coming up with 9 completely new courses for a single person on the fly in the middle of service, which is a pain in the ass, but also a challenge and a source of pride for me and my cooks when we bang it out and the person comes back and personally thanks us for giving them the same experience their dining partners had who didn't have any restrictions.
it's just laziness.
Lucas Davis
>it resorts to shaming
As HE shames people over BEAN BURGERS

OK - back to the start.
Does anyone see where the original poster stated what is in green text? I don't. Just asking a simple question.
Ryder King
The way your write makes my eyes hurt.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
That's because YOU are a SEETHING ASPIE getting TRIGGERED over BEAN BURGERS
Perhaps if YOU spent more time READING as opposed to shedding TEARS over BEAN BURGERS YOU wouldn't be SO STUPID
Good
Cameron Miller
granted, it's including 2-3 amuse bouche, an intermezzo, and a m'anyardie. but still.
we attack that as a team, pause for 1-2 minutes in the middle of service, collaborate and write a menu on the fly. also, a lot of times the person will also be doing a wine pairing so we have to convey the menu to the front of the house so they can do some on the fly pairings.
it used to piss me off, but now that i'm in management, it makes my dick hard that people are willing to pay $100 for vegetables with another $60 for wine pairings.. they're so dumb, but they also are consistently the ones who come back and thank us for their meal.
Mason Anderson

>people are willing to pay $100 for vegetables with another $60 for wine pairings.. they're so dumb They're paying for the experience, not only for the meal. If I had a lot of disposable income I'd probably try that too.
Liam Thomas
right.. but still.
the tasting price is determined by the price point of the ingredients you're using. a lot of times we will have A grade foie, prime grade meats, expensive fish, caviar, etc.
if somebody is paying the same price just for vegetables then it's like four or five times the profit margin of the standard tasting.
but yeah, people love that we customize a special thing for them and it justifies the price for their experience. regardless, they're paying $100 for vegetables, so..
Brandon Taylor
Many delicious bean burgers ahead for you, brother.

vegan dishes: the same recipe for lentil soup, pasta sauce and a stew; only the amount of added water changes
Hudson Martin
There are many Indian dishes you can make that are vegan and far more delicious than nasty processed bean/soy "burgers" and meat loaves.
Apply yourself ffs. Or at least don't let anyone know you eat that disgusting crap on the premise that it's actually helping animals.
If you are upset about industrialized meat, why not actively boycott it instead of eating garbage and not even putting a dent in their pockets?
John Davis
>Get excited for actual dish discussion
The thing is, there are vegan dishes that are good on their own, but a vegan "version" of a meat-based meal is going to be shit compared to the real thing almost every time. It's intellectually dishonest to say it's the same thing because it halfway shares the same taste and texture.
It's like giving someone a fried cricket and telling them it's the same thing as a french fry. Instead of saying "Here, eat this cricket"
Parker Roberts
I've seen vegan goulash. You use a meat substitute.
Owen Bailey
How do you make vegan cum?
Christian Nelson
I just fill a pot with water and dump in beans, rice, and bits of kale, carrot, turnip, potato, parsnip, spinach, onion, and garlic.
Sometimes I'm missing ingredients, sometimes I have others. Sometimes I put in pasta instead of beans and rice. It all tastes the same but I'm happy.
Lincoln James
I think carrot hot dogs are better than the real thing, but I never was a big frank fan. You marinate the carrots and steam them until they get to the perfect softness.

Approach someone and quietly whisper in their ear "I don't eat meat or dairy products, my poop doesn't smell," and if all the toxic "vitamins" you put in your stomach that morning are working in harmony, you will cream your own pants. Only vegans can into hañds frèe fapping
