I hate this article and the way it’s written. It’s full of mean, petty stereotypes that make the author sound like an ass and its content seems to boil down to: “I like meat and vegans do, too, so yay for all the ultra processed substitutes because my palette won’t let me consider a meal without something that looks and tastes like flesh in it.”
I am really sick of how absolutely boring this new type of vegan food is and how much it’s trying to be like meat. I don’t want it to be like meat. I want it to be interesting and actually tasty, not some generic fake burger they try to make look like it bleeds. I get that it’s allowing more people to eat more vegan things, but it’s still boring and gross to me.
I enjoy the variety of vegan options but do feel sad that the traditional veggie patties almost completely disappeared from the shelves, replaced with fake meat burgers and steaks. I love them but I appreciate that we have lost some things.
I am trying to reduce my meat and cheese intake and love to eat vegan and vegetarian dishes that are their own thing and not just recreations of meat based dishes. I want them to be their own thing and be great than be a good replacement for something else. This includes bean burgers which have a distinct and new flavor compared to beef
vegan dining is suddenly becoming something way more surprising: delicious.
That’s simply mean spirited. Proper vegan food has always been delicious, it’s just that most places only serve half-assed burgers with some terrible meat substitute.
I always enjoyed the taste of impossible burgers. But i kinda get your meaning. The problem being that there was only one place i know of i could get good vegan food. There was this restaurant in California near base. It was only vegan options and by my recollection, was very popular, you would just go there because it was good, not because we were looking for vegan food specifically.
Such a place dose not exist around me as far as i know, which is a shame because there is no normalization going on.
There’s a brewery called pig minds in like Rockford il, I used to go there when I was in a summer immersion course at Beloit college.
Their entire menu is vegan, and people often have no idea until they have been there several times, because their food is just amazing. They have “chikn” options (I assume breaded tofu or smth) and vegan cheeses, such that nobody really realizes it.
Unfortunately the area I’m in now doesn’t have anything like that. Used to, but it shut down.
No true Scotsman.
That sounds delicious, and made me wonder if mushroom etoufee is doable. I need to visit New Orleans.
