Good Vegan Food For Potlucks

>>8914707
Every time I read a comment like this I think about little kids who haven't realized that onions are delicious yet and pick them off their pizzas.

Except even little kids know better than you - all the kids I've made food for (a lot) loved my food and devour it.

>>8914694
Half a watermelon, sprinkled with sunflower seeds and drizzled in egg free mayonnaise

>>8914726
Sounds like something a Mexican would eat, minus the chili powder.

Why does it have to be vegan? There's going to be meat eaters there.

Make this.

>>8914738
She* knows a vegan diet is healthier. And it isn't arbitrary.

>that guy who brings vegan to a potluck

>>8914748
I need to eat food too. Unfortunately my food is probably the only food I'll be able to eat, LOL.

Also I'm a vegan and am not suddenly going to make something non-vegan just because there are meat eaters there. Don't be silly.

>>8914750
>it isn't arbitrary.
You're not allergic to animal products, so it's arbitrary.
>she
no one gives a flying fuck which one of the two it is.

Oh God no!!!

It'll correct you otherwise. Don't upset it.

>that thing who brings vegan to a potluck

>>8914759
My sister was actually told by a doctor that she's allergic to animal products. So there's a chance I may be too. I mean, I did cure my chronic nausea instantly when I went vegan, so maybe that's why.

And no, it's not arbitrary. I don't want to fund animal torture and death and environmental destruction.

But please, can you meat eaters stop getting unnecessarily butthurt and shitting up the thread? I just want some more ideas for the potluck. Take a chill pill.

>>8914768

Cook a load of rice/couscous/quinoa/tabouleh in veg stock. Add a load of sauteed, diced veg, onion, porcini mushrooms plus the liquor, garlic, bit of chilli and some soft herbs. Stuff the mix into bell peppers, tomatoes, courgette/zucchini and run 'em through the oven. Cool to room temperature and serve.

One time I brought a Greek yogurt version of coleslaw to a cookout. Everyone commented how it wasn't as good as mayo based coleslaw. I learned that day that any time you cooking for a group just use the least healthy, fat, surgar and salt laden recipe because that is what people want.

>>8914883
>least healthy, fat, surgar and salt laden recipe because that is what people want.
It's what most restaurants do.

cook meat, stop being a faggot

>>8914757
sounds like you aren't being very considerate of other people's diet preferences

bring a platter of oreos

>>8914733
you're probably better off with watermelon and chilipowder

>>8914851
this is the best suggestion so far, but it sounds like OP wants to be lazier than that

>>8914911
And they, in turn, won't be considerate of OP's dietary preferences.

>>8914940
I'm sure there will be chips and cookies which are usually animal product free, OP just sounds like he needs validation for being vegan

>>8914940
Probably because he didn't tell anyone about it so he could pull the special snowflake and the discrimination cards when he got there.

>>8914707
t. talentless cooks

>>8914922
Kind of. DESU that doesn't sound very good to me. I know a lot of people like it so I'm not trying to be insulting, but that's something I might make for myself one night, but not something I'd want to be someone's first experience with vegan food.

I'm leaning more towards the the taquitos or a mix of the Tofurky sandwiches and cucumber sandwiches. Then with a side of strawberries with coconut whipped cream. Cashew cheese would be really good too but I'd have to buy a lot of ingredients for that I can't see myself using for anything but that.

>>8914950
Actually I did tell people about it, but it was apparently too close to the potluck date. Crossing my fingers someone remembered so I don't have to feel awkward just eating my own food.

>>8914694
>tofu cheesecake (I have a really good recipe for a key lime cheesecake made with tofu)
>a dip plate with hummus or white bean dip, a yogurt dip (made with soy, coconut, or almond yogurt, and using various ingredients, there's lots of good recipes), and a salsa dip. Serve with pita chips and tortilla chips.
>Vegetable lasagna using "ricotta" cheese made from tofu (I also have a good recipe for this)
>Ratatouille
>Pasta salad with a vinaigrette dressing
>Thai Papaya salad (minus the fish sauce, use liquid aminos instead)
>Tofu Spring rolls (marinate and bake the tofu in strips the day before assembling)
>Roasted beet salad (using both red and golden beets) with toasted walnuts and a vinaigrette on a bed of greens
>Mini nut burgers (I can tell you a recipe for the nut burger patties, if you need it)

>>8914959
Stuffed peppers are completely normal. That's why it wold be a good choice instead of freaky vegan pseudofoods that sound totally unappetizing like tofurky and cashew cheese

>>8914966
Sorry, I'm not OP, that was in the field from another thread.

>>8914959
did you have a particular recipe for the breakfast taquitos or were you just gonna wing it? i'm kinda interested.

>>8914971

What would you stuff a pepper with that would be both Vegan and appetizing? I can't think of anything.

>>8914777
This post makes me sorry I helped you with suggestions. Ugh....Why can't you vegans just shut the fuck up with your preaching. I wouldn't have a problem with vegans IF they just talked about meat free dishes with out all the proselytizing.

>>8914694
>who wants dessert in the morning
>strawberries with coconut whipped cream
>blueberry muffins
???

Your ideas sound impressive enough. Maybe something with hummus or muhammara, vegans love that shit.

>>8914977
>rice/couscous/quinoa/tabouleh in veg stock. Add a load of sauteed, diced veg, onion, porcini mushrooms plus the liquor, garlic, bit of chilli and some soft herbs

>>8914694

Buy some Hampton Creek-brand Just Mayo and you can make potato salad and coleslaw.

Protip for coleslaw: after cutting the cabbage and other veggies, sprinkle salt/sugar over them and let that sit in a collander for an hour. Then, dump out over a clean town and lightly press out the extra moisture. They stay more crunchy that way.

>>8914694

Coconut whipped cream sounds interesting. Have you heard of aquafaba? It's whipped chickpea liquid, allegedly gives a meringue type consistency. I've never tried it but that would be kind of "impressive" I think.

Otherwise I think the taquitos sound the best for a savory option.

>>8914961
Well you haven't decided what you're even making yet so everyone else is just making an excuse for not making vegan food just for you and your snowflake eating disorder.

>>8914981
Well, the strawberries with coconut whipped cream is a very light dessert that almost doesn't count as a dessert, especially if I use maple syrup instead of powdered sugar. And the blueberry muffins are just a typical breakfast food and I'd add something savory if I made those. But yeah I don't think I'll make those.

And I actually am not a huge fan of hummus. It's alright, but if I made any kind of dip it'd be made out of cashews, beans, or avocado.

>>8914985
That sounds pretty good except potato salad has just never been my favorite thing.

>>8915004
Animals are ethically undeserving of protection because they won't extend the same courtesy to you.

Chickens are assholes
Pigs would eat you if they could

>>8915011
>And I actually am not a huge fan of hummus
Calling the vegan police right now.

>>8914959
If you're just looking for time saving, head to a deli and grab falafel, veggie dolmades, tzatziki, houmous and chilli sauce. Grab some pittas and ask the host to toast them and slice 'em. Maybe a few crudites with a sherry vinegar and wholegrain mustard vinaigrette for that "home made" touch?

I'm not vegetarian by the way, just enjoy cooking for vegetarians and vegans every so often.

>>8915021
Rabbits are the worst assholes of all. I have to shoot at least 10 every year to protect my garden from those pricks. Even with fencing, those bastards will find a way in.

>>8915011
>And I actually am not a huge fan of hummus
That's ok. you're cooking for other people , remember?

Or are you just cooking for yourself and forcing everyone else to eat what you like

>>8915028
I actually personally don't like any of that food. Nice suggestion, just not for me. I'm more of a traditional American cuisine kind of person. With the rare Indian dish thrown in.

>>8915059
How do you know they like hummus? And yeah, I'm cooking for myself too. Why would I serve other people food that I don't even like myself? That's retarded.

>>8915007
I have. I've yet to try it. And I agree, leaning towards the taquitos.

Not sure what I would use for a dip though. I think dip is kind of mandatory for taquitos. Not sure if guacamole would be good for breakfast taquitos. Would kind of like to make a cheeze sauce but that would take a lot more ingredients since I'd want to make it from scratch with cashews and maybe carrots or something like that.

>>8915065
Then I'm a bit stuck, not being that familiar with traditional US veggie options. Last suggestion, take a load of vegan friendly beer along and get hammered when all the food has gone.

>>8914966
Thank you, these sound great.

Had considered making lasagna - I also have an awesome recipe, but I think it wouldn't taste as good at room temperature, IDK.

>>8914972
You're the beer guy with the cat.

>>8915065
you are the worst person ever to invite to a potluck

just bring beer and wine

>>8915086
lol, would love to bring vegan alcoholic drinks, but it's going to be at a school, so I can't.

A vegan Kahlua sundae sounds good right now.

>>8915070
I don't particularly like pizza, but if was having friends over and cooking a few things for them, I'd make pizza, lots of people like it.

>impressive
>cheap
>quick

Omnis can choose only two. Vegans can only choose one.

You should prepare the same thing good housewives of the 50's would have prepared: an eyecatching aspic. Make a red tomato soup, an herbaceous green soup and a creamy mushroom soup, gel them with agar and layer them in the nicest mold you have. Agar does fine at room temperature, better than gelatin would.

Chapati upma.

Man, ops style is writing is too close to the person who was in here last weekend freaking out about a post class potluck where the slightest smell of animal products was going to make *her* sick.

Is vegan false flagging all you do, OP? Come on man, get more creative.

>>8915065
>traditional American cuisine
>vegan

???

If you're going to choose to have a restrictive diet in terms of removing animal products and then go on to be picky about wonderful, tasty dishes from other cultures that just happen to be vegan then I don't think there is any helping you.

What do you eat as a vegan?

french fries and bbq sauce?

>>8915116
That's because I'm the same person. I'm still freaking out, but less so because it seems like most people are bringing cold food anyway. Only issue is one girl is bringing chicken tacos, but hopefully they're not hot enough to smell too bad when she gets there, or I can leave early/it's held outside.

Will probably end up leaving early, but I'm just crossing my fingers it won't stink so bad and I'll be able to ignore the fact that they're consuming the flesh and secretions of tortured animals.

>>8915135
imagine being this pathetic

>>8915117
I eat tons of stuff as a vegan.
Rice crispies with soy milk and sliced bananas, pizza with Follow Your Heart vegan mozzarella, Gardein, tofu saag, oatmeal, burritos, pasta, dumplings, the list goes on and on. I just am not a big fan of Mediterranean food.

>>8915004
I don't give a fucking SHIT if you care about my feelings. But being a vegan IS arbitrary, and you're whiny, proselytizing asshole. Go fuck yourself with a tofurky, fucknut.

>>8915144
You mentioned one fruit.
One. And zero vegetables.
You have a shitty bland diet. I'm glad i'm not your tastebuds.

>>8915091
Nope. But I wish was as prolific with the OC as he is.

>>8915166
>zero vegetables

Saag is greens.

>>8915166
I put vegetables on my pizza, duh. Sauteed onions and green bell peppers. Then I might have some veggies with my Gardein, topped with soy sauce. Tofu saag is tofu and spinach, and there are also onions and tomatoes in that. Burritos will sometimes have veggies like lettuce, salsa, or grilled onions/bell peppers. Pasta will sometimes have veggies. Dumplings are just veggies covered in dough.

But yeah, usually I have a pretty basic diet I guess. Tofu saag is my most adventurous common meal I'll eat.

>>8915098
One last thought, as the beer is a non starter. With your strawberries and coconut cream, a little syrup from some stem ginger and some lime zest would add a nice little zip to the dish.

>>8915172
That would be the rare indian dish. A bowl of soggy spinach once a month isn't healthy.

>>8915182
I'm an ethical vegan, not a dietary vegan.

I just eat a pretty normal American diet, except veganized. I'll eat apples with peanut butter, celery with peanut butter and raisins, variety of different fruits. I should eat more vegetables it's just that I usually make my food quickly and vegetable dishes that are tasty take some preparation generally.

>>8915135
LOL

>>8915135
Christ, and you have the gall to wonder why people think you should be institutionalized.

some fucking meatballs you dicksucking shitgobbler

no one wants ferns and crackers you're not hosting a potluck to some fucking deer

>>8915246
OP, bring ferns and crackers. Fiddleheads are the shit and everyone likes a good cracker.

>>8915197
so it's an arbitrary choice of diet then?

>>8915275
she wants to lord her """moral superiority""" over everyone else, that's what it's about.

scoop some dirt off the ground and mix it with ketchup

>>8915278
Well earlier it wasn't arbitrary. Now it's an ethical choice, which is arbitrary. Stupid bitch should should just not go to the pot luck, i'm assuming no-one who is going to be there actually likes her anyway.

>Hi.

Fuck off.

Just thought I'd let you all know that I've made my decision and it's going to blow people's minds. Tested it out tonight and it's super yummay.

Tofurky hickory smoked deli slice sandwiches with Just Mayo, cucumber, lettuce, and a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder on some fluffy whole wheat bread.

Also decided I'm going to give them brownies as well. Just made some incredible brownies using Duncan Hines chewy fudge brownie mix, Vegan Egg (using less water than it calls for and less "egg" than the Duncan Hine's box called for as well), with Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips, and melted Earth Balance instead of oil. Yum. Not sure if I'm going to bother now with the strawberries and coconut whipped cream, because this will be a lot of food.

What the fuck is egg free mayonnaise?

>>8916608
such a passively aggressive malicious comment. you must really hate vegans

>>8916608
>Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips

Those are processed on equipment that also processes milk. Are you cool with that? I wasn't sure if my vegan would be cool with that, so I get the Enjoy Life ones. You're a brazillion times more neurotic than him, though, so if you're cool with it then he'd probably be cool with it.

>>8916625
Just Mayo.

>>8916641
You know, I actually checked the ingredients a long time ago and kind of just grabbed them because I knew they were vegan. So I haven't actually thought about them being processed on equipment that also processes milk in ages.

I used to think of it as them just putting that on there for people with severe allergies, and so they probably didn't have even a trace amount of milk in them, but they had to put that to be safe.

But now that I've been vegan longer, it does bother me actually. Even a small chance that my vegan food has trace amounts of animal product in it makes me nauseous thinking about. I'll still give them the brownies but desu I won't be buying the semi-sweet chocolate chips again. Are the Enjoy Life ones good?

>>8916664
>Are the Enjoy Life ones good?

They're awesome. They have a really pure chocolate flavor because they're ONLY made of chocolate and sugar. No milk, palm oil or even vanilla.

>>8914950
>>8914944

What a typical snowflake vegan does.

I heard dirt is pretty good

>>8916608
i will never consume anything called "tofurkey" or anything containing "Just (Fuck My Shit Up) fake mayo" and neither will 99% of non-vegans
why the fuck did you substitute out the oil in your brownies???

>>8916608
Sounds terrible, the only thing they're gonna blow is chunks

>>8916828
Make it yourself, I dare you. It's all cheap so even someone on disability like you can probably afford it.

>>8916782
Earth Balance is really good, that's why. I haven't used oil in my brownies in ages. I mean I guess it'd probably still be good that way but I'm kind of scared it would be inferior if I did that. I really like my brownies with Earth Balance, but maybe if I become broke I'll start using oil.

>>8914976
I was just gonna wing it. Technically was going to make them flautas. Fresh tortillas, tofu scramble, spinach, onion, and maybe nutritional yeast. Then seasoned with either pepper, garlic, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar, or with this saag spice pack I use for my tofu saag I thought could work. Was also considering using Daiya pepperjack or cheddar cheeze in case it was a little too crumbly and needed some more moisture.

But I'm just going to make a bunch of Tofurky sandwiches. I need to use up my bread anyway.

>>8916870
No.

I can think of many vegan dishes that I could make (mainly curries though) that'd taste better than shitty tofu meat substitute, mayo that isn't really mayo and vegetables on bread.

All vegan substitutes for non vegan food i.e meat, mayo, etc taste like trash, you either develop your own vegan shit that taste good or you can fuck off imo, vegans who eat or use meat or animal product substitutes are vegans in denial desperately trying to cling to their diet for the sake of being trendy.

Seriously just fuck off you poser chud.

How about bring nothing?

That way everyone has physical reference for what you're arbitrarily allowing yourself to eat, and in turn don't have to suffer through anything you COULD have made.

Wow, vegan AND a picky eater.
Who saw that combination coming?

Oh, everybody.

>>8916933
You have never tried Tofurky hickory smoked deli slices. Fact.

Not all meat/animal product substitutes taste the same, genius.

>>8917488
you had to pick through 100 different kinds of shitty meat substitute before finding one that was slightly less shitty than the rest and you expect anyone to be impressed?
it's probably just as shit as any other meat substitute, your tastebuds just anchored on how completely shit other vegan food is so when you found one that only has an ass-aftertaste you think it's the second coming of jesus

eat some fucking bacon

>>8917501
Christ, meat eaters here are so obnoxious I feel like going vegan just so I'm not associated with your sort.

>>8917542

>>8914966
>>8914971

See, this is the kind of stuff vegans should be eating instead of that fake meat garbage and insta-snacks. Vegans are shit tier cooks, even when they have the entire vegetable, legume, bean, and grain world at their fingertips. They still want to eat shit that replicates meat.

>>8917735
When will this retardation end? I'm a meat eater but I understand why vegans eat vegan meat. Have you ever tried Gardein? It tastes fucking good. I'll eat that instead of meat a lot of times just because it tastes good. Why the fuck wouldn't they eat it? It's healthier, could be argued it even tastes better, and it's convenient without severely harming animals or the environment.

I'm starting to get why all you people complain about vegan's attitudes. It's because they have to listen to this stupid bullshit all the time that they give you attitude. Why don't you try not being such a petty cunt and show them respect if you want theirs? All the vegans I've met have been nice to me because I listen instead of bang my fists saying, "hurr durrr if you're against meat why do you eat Tofurky durr."
