The downside of being a vegan

[Tim Bennet.]

There are so many meat substitutes that can satisfy the urge for that meaty taste and texture.

Really ? - I've never found one.

 

[Mr Pig]

Me neither. Unless you smother them in sauce they all taste like...nothing!

And it kinda makes you wonder, if vegetarians are so keen not to eat meat why do they still want their food to look and taste like it?

I am a partial vegan............ no dairy but eat eggs as we have hens.

SMUG

Are vegetarians still allowed to eat bacon?

I haven't eaten meat or fish since Channel 4 broadcast The Animals film', when it kicked off circa 1982?
I like simple stuff and had a 'permafeast' each day when I painted a mural at a Jain Hindu house. Made the job last six weeks as the food at lunchtime was excellent!
All the chick pea stuff = lovely. I'm sure there has been the odd bit of animal rennet in cheese munchies, as well as isinglass in vin - just to clarify things...the wine, not what I'm saying... and a top choice is jacket potato with salt and pepper.(I don't often peddle SPuDs)
Oh -and don't forget Ronald Vegan - the ex-Precedent of the United States - he was a one for vegging out!

No 'baked' beans on the 'jacket' potato??!!?!?!

 

[jonathan ellis]

Anyone a "windfall" cyclist? That's got to be hard!!!

 

[MessenJah]

They're a vital addition for extra protein!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Pig]

You're just over-generalising again. I've never known a vegetarian who wanted that to be honest.

Well you know one now don't you? And who do you suppose buys all those vegi sausages and burgers the shops sell?

 

[MessenJah]

I never buy fake meat but I wish my chana saag and tarka dhal tasted like meat, for I miss the taste and texture of meat so much! Oh this vegetarianism is 'TORTURE', I tell thee!!!

 

[Mr Pig]

If you make bolognese with Quorn mince and let the sauce soak in for a day it works pretty well, tastes very like real mince. Adding a bit of extra red wine before cooking helps too.

No baked beans - otherwise I would have said so...and we could all benefit from Heinz sight.
'Love' them though.

And how long have you been (bean!) waiting for that feedline?

Adding a bit of red wine helps in any application.

FOCKINELL!!! worst pun ever.

 

[Aperitif]

The subject of chick peas always brings out the pungent in me.

Maybe not Cornflakes though?
