The Vegan Thread

Looks amazing!
Will probably do this end of the week.
Thank you!

I'm gonna have a go on that too, looks great!
But why oh why does every single goddamned recipe website have about 600 shots of the same dish before you get to the actual recipe.

And 5 stories about when they were kids, what their kids like to eat, something about a hungry dog in a tree and that time they saved a bee in Guatemala. Just get to the fucking ingredients you shites.

Just get to the fucking ingredients you shites

Every damn time

Oh I know, so frustrating especially when you're trying to follow it on your phone. There is a handy 'jump to recipe' button up top. Link here- https://earthofmaria.com/easy-vegan-butter-chicken/#wprm-recipe-container-9629

Because google think higher word count + more media = better article.

Specifying a list of ingredients without quantities before the actual recipe is a weird move though.

Interesting....

Also very nice - should give this a try as well just because it has the word "Dragon" in the title.

I assume this will mean that he won't stock leather or wool items etc., but all will become clear on Friday.

original reason for going Vegan - the animals

This was a timely reminder of why I went vegetarian. Gonna have another push at vegan now, so thanks.

Because animals are gross, don't want to put those horrible things near your mouth.

The Vegan Pig scratchings have made it out to backers. Tried some today and they’re really nice (in a dirty pub snack stylee)

Well, it's always worth making this point about homonymy (giving different things the same name) again and again: The vast majority of people don't eat animals except for the insects they (almost) inevitably swallow. Meat isn't 'animal', it's cut-up corpse--when it's dead, it's no longer an animal. Animals are living things. When Kevin Kline ate a live fish for 'A Fish Called Wanda', that was 'eating an animal'. When it's dead, it's just eating corpse/cadaver (the former mostly used for humans, the latter for non-human animals).

I do think this point isn't just nit-picking, but important, as when we say 'eating animals', many people think that this is something good. Why? Well, people say it tastes good/they couldn't live without it/they need the protein, etc. I think it's also because there is a sense in which we think of animals as good. Not good in the sense of morally benign, but lovely to have around (which we obviously mainly associate with mammals, and especially those who are most similar to us).

Also, in the famous phrase, animals can be conceived of as 'ends in themselves' rather than just 'means to an end', i.e. we can genuinely want good things for animals for their own sakes as opposed to killing them and eating bits of their corpses, or torturing them for dairy products, etc. If we don't consider animals ends in themselves, just as we (not always) consider other humans ends in themselves, then you arrive at the perversions cited.

By contrast, few people would consider corpses or cadavers good things in the same way as living animals, and it's always worth pointing out that that's what they consume (and what most vegans alive consumed once upon a time). (Obviously, a similar argument is made by fruitarians about eating other parts of plants, but as plants are clearly alive in a different way to the way in which non-human animals are alive, that's not the same case.)

'Vegan pig scratchings' or 'vegan pork scratchings'? And are they using some kind of mis-spelled name like so many vegan products?

I’m in London for work for a couple of nights staying in Shepherd’s Bush. I had a burger at Dirty Vegan at Westfields on the way back to the hotel, it was really good, I’m guessing the patty was one of those beyond meat burgers, very disconcerting, if I’d be served it anywhere else I would have sent it back thinking it was meat.

The easiest, tastiest meal i've cooked in some time.

I even had crushed pecans to sprinkle on top, my girlfriend was well impressed!

Cheers

Niiiiice! I went with the crushed Pecan's too to an equally impressed wife.

It seems like there's something new out every month. Good thing about them is they cook fast but seem to leave a weird sweet smell in the air... I was always a fan of Linda's quarter pounders but The Meatless Co and Naked Glory are very good.

Cheers. Look forward to trying them!

Truly disgusting and distressing.
