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.

>vegan being this o b s e s s e d about meat.

You're what I like to call a junk food vegan, eating nothing but processed crap.

>>8798664
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.

>>8798674
So you hate yourself. That's so hot. Wanna fuck?

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.

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.

>>8798845
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.

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)

>>8798815
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.

>>8798942

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

>>8798949
>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.

>>8798873
>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.

>>8798910
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.

>>8798949
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 anon 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".

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.

>>8799113

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

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.

>>8799155

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.

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.

>>8799226

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..

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?

>>8799293
>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"

I tried the Beyond Burger this week. It's too expensive for how it tastes, but it tastes a lot like meat. Not necessarily like beef, but like meat.

>>8798845
Given how many vegans end up unable to eat mock meats anyway because they teach themselves to be disgusted by meat while simultaneously forgetting what meat tastes like ("meat isn't even food to me, it's like eating a shoe"/"YOU'RE LYING TO ME THIS ISN'T A VEGGIE BURGER I WANT MY MONEY BACK YOU MURDERER"), I think it's a really good argument.

>>8798815
Oh, hi, I've been expecting you.

I don't get how there's any narcissism in eating foods that have nothing to do with what we think of ourselves, and don't harm others. If it harmed others, I could see it being considered narcissistic (*cough*yourdiet*cough*).

I don't see it as promoting meat. That's fucking silly. It's promoting the fact that you can easily and deliciously live without meat no matter how much you might have loved it in the past. And it's promoting the idea that there's a reason to not eat meat.

I love supporting these companies too, because it funds the vegan economy, so it can continue expanding, making veganism more attainable for everyone.

There's no hypocrisy. Even if a vegan were to say they're just vegan because they hate the taste of animal products, honestly a lot of these products taste way superior so you wouldn't even have a point in that case.

Being vegan is about the animals and the environment, and for some people, health. It has nothing to do with specific foods we form an identity with. That's just silly. I can't ever understand the logic of people like you. Maybe because you're grasping at straws out of defensiveness and you have a need to criticize because you feel criticized even when you haven't been, and it doesn't actually make any sense.

Just for the record, the person you're talking about isn't me (the OP). I'm also female. Declining to say whether or not I completely agree with that person or whether or not I laughed at the bluntness of their comment. Or this one: >>8798969
Also declining to say whether or not I got comedic relief from reading the things I'm thinking but wouldn't dare say.

Having more vegan meat alternatives on the shelves does nothing to promote the meat industry. If anything it's the opposite.

A lot of people eat the vegan meat alternatives actually because they know they taste better, and are better. Believe it or not, there are some people who also don't want to torture animals or destroy the environment, but they also enjoy convenience foods like these that allow them to eat the things they're used to eating without sacrificing their dignity.

Also, last I checked demand for meat and dairy in the U.S. is going down. Especially dairy. I don't think you have any basis for your argument at all.

You're honestly ridiculously silly. I've converted a lot of people with my vegan meat and dairy alternatives. If that stuff didn't exist, it would be so much harder for people who want to go vegan but also like to eat traditional American food to go vegan.

I feel like my IQ dropped a point from responding to this at all.

It's dropping because people are willing to go without if they can't get their hands on better quality product. For some that means abstaining all together.

I've posted a lot in favor of veganism this thread but

>A lot of people eat the vegan meat alternatives actually because they know they taste better

is just wrong. They taste a lot worse. Everybody I know who isn't vegetarian and tried them says it's plain worse. I've tried quite some (not shit products) and it doesn't really compare. Nowadays I just don't care about these products and instead cook something else. Yes there are exceptions and some people just dislike meat lltogether but as said, they're the exception.

I am a non-SAD omnivore. I grew up eating falafel. Falafel is delicious. It doesn't "taste better than" meat. It tastes different from meat. A juicy, spicy crawfish boil will not satisfy me when I want falafel. The falafel will not satisfy me when I want crawfish.

Oh man, I went with a couple friends to a vegan bar (several friends of ours are fruity) and had the most delicious veggie burger of my life. They topped it with all the goods including really good vegan cheese. Even got some sweet potatoes fries.

One of the girls we were with kept asking if she could have a bite of my burger, broad only got herself a flimsy salad. Got pretty annoying until I outright told her to get her own.

Later that night another friend told me my brusque behavior really turned this broad on and she wants to go out.

Meat eaters can't ever see their hypocrisy because they're the majority. The only hypocrisy they "see" is a distorted view of reality caused by their delusions they use as a defense mechanism after having their habits challenged.

Sad fact. Going vegan is an unwanted lesson in human psychology for sure.

Not sure which method is more effective - disengaging their desire to be on the defensive by being very nice and not at all condescending and walking on egg shells with them, or being totally blunt and trying to shake them into reality. Sometimes neither work because they're just so stuck in their tunnel vision.

Dear god....this is a troll, right? Bravo if it is because this comment actually gave me a little flicker of rage for a moment. But it quickly turned to laughter and a hope that you're a troll.

Vegans do actively boycott it, and the money for superior meat alternatives goes to the vegan economy. Even meat producers themselves are investing in vegan food because they know the change is coming and they have to be prepared.

>>8800517
>NONE OF YOU HAVE ACTUALLY TRIED THEM

But I did. I've had Tofurky sausage, which had good flavor but mediocre texture. It wasn't better than any real sausage I've had. Boca's mock-burger burgers are crap, their vegetable patties that aren't trying to taste like meat are okay. Same goes for Morningstar Farms and Quorn. Also, I'm the person upthread who liked the Beyond Burger.

I haven't tried Gardein yet. I will soon, I got a coupon. Maybe that will be the magic bullet that destroys my dependency on the cattle industry fiveever.

Alright, I should have said Tofurky does have some things I'm not a huge fan of. But they're not bad. The Kielbasa sausage is actually one of the ones if I'm remembering correctly I'm not a big fan of. I did really enjoy their Artisan apple and potato sausage or something like that though. It makes a good hot dog. Field Roast makes even better hot dogs though. Tofurky just recently changed their own hot dog recipe I think and unfortunately I liked the old recipe better, but it's still tasty.

I like their hickory smoked deli slices the best I think.

Morningstar - first thing I ever tried from them was the most repulsive vegan burger I've ever had. Never again. But they do have good riblets, and chick'n strips. I think those are the only good, vegan products of theirs (a lot of their products have dairy/eggs so I haven't tried many of their products).

Quorn, only thing I ever tried from them was a non-vegan roast that my mom bought me without realizing it wasn't vegan. (Back when I first went vegan.) It was not very good. Had an odd texture I had to put it in a sandwich to enjoy. They do have some vegan products I haven't tried yet though, so maybe those are good.

Boca's original vegan burgers are a blank canvas. They're good for people who like bland food (sometimes I like bland food myself and actually crave a Boca patty). I would normally use them in a recipe. I like them, but can see how other people wouldn't be impressed by them. But Boca chick'n patties are bomb. You can't tell me they aren't.

Beyond Meat is repulsive to me, but a lot of meat eaters like it apparently. I haven't tried the Beyond Burger though. To be honest I'm scared to because I had to give away the other products I tried from Beyond Meat, because I couldn't force myself to take more than two bites. My mom liked them though. I tried the meatless meatballs and chick'n strips.

Gardein is the best. Except I'm not a huge fan of their hot pockets. The bread is too soft and sweet.

Gardein is the only one I've tried (never liked fish), and it was good. My mom who loves fish, loved it. I tried the fishless filets specifically, but they also make crab cakes.

These are the filets.

Also can't relate to thinking the texture is bad in Tofurky artisan sausages. Maybe you got a bad one, IDK. Tasted pretty smooth to me last time I tried it.

Wouldn't define the Beyond Meat I tried as soggy either. But there was something off IMO. But apparently it's supposed to be really close to meat so maybe that's why I couldn't stomach it.

When my mom tried the chick'n strips, she just said, "tastes like chick'n strips." I had been a vegan for at least 5 years before I tried it, so I wasn't the best judge of how much it tasted like meat at that point.

>>8800683
Yeah, usually home made. Although I used to buy that stuff too sometimes because it doesn't go bad as fast as an avocado. It works.

>>8800689
I think it's So Delicious that makes the cashew milk ice cream I tried. They have a snickerdoodle flavor one that's soooo good. Actually haven't tried the plain vanilla yet but I imagine it's the best. So creamy and decadent. Cashew is my favorite vegan milk for ice cream I think, but I've also had incredible vegan soy, and even rice ice cream. (Rice Dream mint pies are orgasmic.) Least favorite is ironically coconut. Unless it's like a fruity flavor ice cream, it just destroys the flavors. Coconut cookie dough is awful to me. It sucks because that's the one people seem to love and has the biggest selection in stores. They need to switch them for cashew milk ice cream.

like i said, man. i love the challenge of having to come up with 9 courses on the fly in the middle of service. if you're a decent cook, it's no problem to make good food without animal products (as long as you have nice produce, a good selection of vinegars, gastriques, pickled things, various condiments, coconut milk, a lot of asian shit, lentils/risotto/farro/etc, mushrooms)

This is the truth.

The reason meat eaters get so defensive and make fun of vegans is because they feel like shit for eating food they are so ashamed to eat.

Vegan may come with an unwanted lesson in psychology about how shitty and brain washed most human beings are - but it comes with 0% of the guilt and so many health benefits.

This is less than 3% of their caloric intake. Gorillas are hundreds of pounds of muscle that could rip you to shreds on a 97% vegan diet.

Unlike most ameritards that are now on a 65% taco bell diet - which is 50% meat, which is 28% actual meat.

Its not really entirely apropos to our discussion though - seeing as they are a different species. (The gorillas, not the ameritards)

No you don't understand how it works.Eating meat made our ancestors brains grow. If they shoved plants down their throats like you, human intelligence would've never improved. You vegans and your stupidity, ignorance and arrogance only proofs that even further.
>Do terrorists really force people to convert to Islam through tasty vegan food?
Vegan : "You MUST become a vegan because we tell you to!"
Terrorist : "You MUST become a muslim or we will kill you!"
Feminist : "You MUST become a feminist or you are a racist cis bigot!"
Faggot : "You MUST become gay or we will call you a homophobe!"
So force your views and opinions on others just like terrorists and other scum of the earth does.

Sometimes Whole Foods, or Lassens if you have one, or health food/vegan stores.

Or you can get them here. www.veganessentials.com Shipping's a bitch, but you can usually get 10% off coupons or more by either searching for coupons on google and/or signing up for their mailing list.

If you end up ordering from there and want to add more to your cart to make it "worth it", I can tell you what some of the best products there are, and the worst. (Ex.: Sjaaks makes the best melk chocolate, Moo Free makes the worst and is for some reason really expensive even though it tastes like the cheapest chocolate ever to exist.)

In this highly unrealistic situation where there was no animal abuse involved at all,(Meaning they didn't come from hatcheries that abused the chicks and ground up all the males, weren't bred to overproduce eggs at the expense of their health, things like that.) then I wouldn't judge them for it, although that's really gross and they should just let the hens eat the eggs for nutrition.

I prefer to shit on a plate.

Why do vegans get salty over shitposting? Like you know where you are right?
Also lol vegans are pretty fucking gay. Why do so many have an obsession with replicating meat? Also why do you draw the line at eating meat? If it's about the way farm animals are treated I could understand but that doesn't cut out all meat or animal products so what's the point? I guess the only other reason is if you're really obsessive about the co2 or some bullshit like that.

>>8807330
Even "Certified Humane" farms severely abuse animals. There's no realistic escape from the fact that animal products cause animal suffering.

And again, it's more of an improvement than a replication.

>>8807330
Why do bean burgers trigger you? Are we appropriating obesity from you?

>>8807335
All food causes animal suffering. Are you saying your farmed vegan food which had to strip land from animals doesn't cause suffering? Like Jesus existence is based off of suffering and struggle.
I'm not saying those farms are good I'm just saying your argument doesn't stop you from eating animal products from say a legitimately humane farm so why are you a vegan? Going with the suffering animal motivation is only realistically followed by killing yourself.
So again why are you a vegan? The only argument I can see is that you're someone who is really obsessed with CO2 levels or maybe your weird religion requires if. All the other arguments just don't seem to be reasoning enough to swear off animal products as a whole.

>>8807342
Why are you obsessed with burgers in the first place? Have to have them in your life piggy?

>>8807348
Because burgers taste good. Just so happens mine doesn't turn me into an autistic ranting slobbering fat mess like yourself

>>8807348
>legitimately humane farm
There are none. Plus animal products are fucking gross.

>>8807348
How is it scientifically possible to be this retarded?

>>8807355
>There are none
Then make one
I could make the argument there is no food that you can grow that doesn't harm animals in some way.

>>8807357
Tell me why you're a vegan. I just don't see the reasoning. I can understand a vegetarian or the people who don't eat meat but eat fish or whatever but veganism makes 0 sense to me. It's taking animal well being to such a level that you might as well kill yourself by the normal reasoning.

>>8807348
I'd say there are 2 main reasons for being vegan. One, people who are inherently against animal products because it causes them suffering and two, the environmental issues of especially eating meat. You can't deny that it's a huge problem, CO2 is only one part of it.

I think the first group are idealistic idiots but the second has a good point and in an ideal world with humane, small farms most of them would consider eating meat. At least the few I know said they would. Not that that's ever going to happen.

>>8807362
Yeah I figured it was such but if these same people who are willing to change their diet so much don't live out in the woods in the most sustainable way possible they're a bit hypocritical. All I'm saying is that I've never understood veganism because it seems like every vegan is a bit of hypocrite.

Adding to that it's the first group that made "vegan" sound like an insult. They are usually the ones going around moral-shaming people for eating meat and preaching their naive ideals. For them it really is a religion. Veganism should be a lifestyle of respect, both for animals and for people who choose to consume animal products. The focus should be on improving conditions and limiting damage to the environment.

>>8807364

Many studies have biased argumentation, faulty methods and hasty conclusions.

I am really not sure where I stand on this I think I'll head straight into the actual biochemistry, that seems like the only way out of this mess. I'll stay true to plant foods, it's the safe bet and I personally feel good and strong eating like that.

not enough protein in vegan diet if you are an athlete that trains hard 5 times per week and you dont have extra money to spend on protein suplements

>>8808903
Not an argument, oatmeal alone has a decent amount and lentils/beans are at the same protein level as eggs and dirt cheap.

>>8808888
Quads of Truth

>>8808919
you try to get 160+grams of protein in a day with less then 2500 kcalories with eating beans, lentils and oats, and manage the gas in your stomach from negatively impacting your performance

I've tried it dude, I've tried the vegan thing with beans and lentils as a main source of protein for a month. Doesnt work for me. Meat is not that bad, the protein from meat is already coming from the muscle tissue of animals, which means its already broken down protein from the plants/other animals that they eat, its like already second or third grade broken down when you consume it, and you cant have those kinds of proteins from plants.
I understand there are health benefits of vegan diet for the average Joe with a deskjob, but for those doing it because of some sort of 'save the animals' crap, they are fools. Animals are inferior to humans, and there is no guilt to use them for our survival as God/nature intended.

>>8808945
>you try to get 160+grams of protein in a day with less then 2500 kcalories
Those are some hardcore numbers right there. A lot lot of protein and really low calories. Especially the calories are a bit surprising, an athlete with a lot of muscle mass who works out a lot should easily get a TDEE of 3000+ and there is usually little reason to eat below that.

Not saying it's wrong but it seems a little bit off. If that's your optimal diet than yeah it's understandable, that's very hard to achieve vegan without heavy protein supplements. Though it really doesn't matter if you consume animal or plant protein.

>>8808961
my resting heart rate is 36bpm and my body doesnt burn much throughout the day even with the activity, but those numbers are really for cutting weight and are a little lower, not for what I need to maintain weight.

>>8808984

Holy shit that's ridiculous. If you didn't say you were an athlete I'd say go see a doctor immediately. But then it does make sense, good luck anon and stay healthy. Out of curiosity, which sport? I assume it's something atheltic and not lifting or your calories would be a lot higher.

>>8809007

>>8809007
calories are definetely higher then 3000 per day but in periods of a few months before a fight I try to cut arround 12-15kg so the calories I consume must be lower than that to make weight, and protein must go more then 2 grams x kgs of bodyweight to prevent losing strength and muscle
