Vegan guy: "Let's face it, the only thing that makes meat dishes taste good are the vegan ingredients".
Taste is the one argument you shouldn't use when trying to convince me to not eat meat.
- If the taste of meat ain't all that then why they pushing so many meatless alternatives to meat based recipes?palimpsest
- It's practically saying that a plant based diet is second rate as regards to taste.
While there are so many great plant based original recipes.palimpsest - I love good vegan food. Just don't knock meat and dairy for its taste - it's an ineffective argument. Climate and environment, those I get.jagara
- One time this vegan friend was ordering pizza and tried to suggest meat-based pies for the meat eaters. Hilarious randomness.********
- "How about ham + garlic? Sausage + tomato? Ham + ground beef?" Green pepper + bacon?" We all lolled********
- I eat meat, but I'm realizing that the more factory farming intensifies, it creates a less sustainable future for itself. Best to embrace the alternatives now.futurefood
- @futurefood I fully agree. Taste is just not an effective argument for convincing carnivores, IMO ;)jagara
- Of all the things I miss it's the 'taste' of meat / dairy (especially dairy... GODDD I miss cheese).PonyBoy
- the vegans I surf with take more naps on the beach then surfGuyFawkes
- I’m effectively vegan. But meat is still delicious. My being vegan ain’t changing how good carpaccio or raw bluefin is.thumb_screws
- I was a strict vegetarian for about 7 years for fitness reasons. The trap that vegans fall into is trying to force vegan food to taste like something it isn't.garbage
- Beyond is actually pretty impressive imho, but making it sing takes some skill. I'm eating veggies and quinoa tonight..garbage
- ..but if the butcher has some weird parts I'm bringing them home. Really hope they have lamb hearts.garbage
- It’s not a “trap” vegans fall into. Almost all vegans were once meat eaters and miss the foods they grew up on. Someone always mentions meat substitutes inscarabin
- These conversations like it’s some big “gotcha!” moment. Like it’s unfathomable that a vegan might have enjoyed chicken nuggets at some point in their lifescarabin
- Are you vegan, scarabin?jagara
- @scara I wasn't doing a "gotcha" thing at all. When I cut out meat, I ate more Morningstar, smart dogs, Quorn, etc than anything and almost gave up because..garbage
- ..it was fatiguing and food was becoming boring. I have no problem with veganism, and I think it's weird that people have a problem with it.garbage
- It's when I realized I needed to learn to cook new things and not treat the frozen aisle like a feeding trough, all I was saying.garbage
- But also a big "fuck you" to Gardein for cancelling their Buffalo wings. Ugh, so good.garbage
- If you can avoid the processed side of veganism and just cook for yourself you’ll love the diet—and not be hungry. Check the app ‘Forks Over Knives’ for recipesPonyBoy
- Also, stop searching for the ‘comfort foods’ you are used to... open your mind to exploring new flavors etc and you can get over missing meat / dairy.PonyBoy
- @jagara i’m not vegan, just surprised we still have this conversation in 2021scarabin
