I'm eating vegan food for lunch. Ask me anything.

wait...the only soy is in the sauce. the noodles are made of wheat flour, potato starch and rice bran oil.

Is the nekkid guy on the latest page doing anything for you yet?

vote Mercer!

:popcorn:

seen one shiny bald head, seen 'em all. unless it's particularly veiny ala Stipe, or birthmarked ala Gorby.

tastes like chicken

i can't even count how many vegan products were faux jerky, faux meat and whatnot.

isn't that kind of weird?

though of course those are all vegan foods.

:yoiks:

;)

GDP! :evilgrin:

Wait, on second thought, it doesn't work there either. :shrug:

says something else to me :puke:

so it seems more familiar - don't have to think as much about it. Also, veggie burger sounds more appetizing than soy product patty. :p

Every so often I try fake hot dogs (wanting something quick to grab with some protein in it) and think, damn, these taste just as weird as meat hot dogs. Then I forget a few months later. Different brands are way different though, IMHO. Some are nasty, some are so-so.

There is some amazing fake pepperoni out there - it even crisps like pepperoni in the oven. The wonders of food science!

For me not eating meat was easy. I haven't been able to be vegan because I can't give up cheese and ice cream (and eggs, mostly in other dishes). Being a vegan is a major commitment. Dennis K. is a vegan, right?

Let's not talk about vegan cheese though.

I'm an omnivore, but I actually prefer the rice cream over the cow kind. I guess I'm weird.

Rice Cream has a new high end line out that's good. I like the gingersnap one.

I'm going by the co-op on the way home tonight, and I'm guessing they'll be able to fix me up.

We can't get it out here on the left coast yet, but I hear it's amazingly good.

The soy ones I tried years ago were not good. Don't know if I tried any rice ones. I don't buy ice cream much for home but there is a very good local ice cream producer who sells across the street from work so temptation is way too close.

I'm kinda lucky, they really started making a lot of good analogues right around the time I went vegan, so I really never had to deal too much with the chalky soymilk or anything like that.

Silk anyway (I tried a different one on sale - 8th continent or something? - and it gave me a tummyache.)

Maybe the Wonders of Food Science have made the soycream and soycheese better.

straight drinking but it does seem to have more sugar in it than Silk. I fell totally in love with Soy Nog this past holiday. Silk's is good and so is the one by VitaSoy.

because they contain egg whites, the Morning Star Farms Corn Dogs are really good. Can't tell the difference at all. The Chik'n Nuggets are really good, too. As far as burgers go, the Amy's California Burger is excellent and it isn't soy. It's mostly mushrooms with other veggies.

Edited to add that the Quorn Chicken Patties and Naked Cutlets are awesome, too!

:9

totally rock! All organic and tasty, too. :hi:

Can you treat yourself to a box of burgers once in awhile? There are four meals in that box, after all.

I do like the Boca Burger lasagna - yum - and once in a while I get it on sale.

Digging myself out of a financial hole and obsessed with house-buying so I'm sacrificing a bit on food.

Hoping there's better days ahead for you soon. :hug:

and miss some of that stuff.

No vegan who was once an omni will EVER tell you that bacon doesn't taste good. It just does. If they say differently, they're liars.

I'm making pancakes and facon for dinner. :9

I've been a laco/ovo vegetarian since 1974 I can't remember the taste of bacon. I do know the sight and smell makes me feel very sick. Putting bacon in my mouth is right on par with eating a cat turd as far as I'm concerned.
I've been eating pure vegan for about 3 months, I'm feeling so healthy. I think I shall continue.

I read that in GD once.

thanks for nothing, hoser.

I'm never going to let him live it down either. :rofl:

That's how I beat Pitt.

:bounce: :bounce: <- absolutely not a representation of any lounge dudes' hooters, nosir

i wanna see matcom's big ol' boobies!!!

nt

it was ok...the sauce was a little on the sweet side.

:shrug:

He's both Czech AND Slovak. I got both in my family tree :D

I was thinking of stopping by the feed store to get some 40-lb bags to feed my stable full of vegans.
