Vegan Thread - Give peas a chance

I stopped eating meat a few years ago without really meaning to. After a year or so, the thought of eating it again was too gross. I was never a big meat person in the first place though. Just seems weird eating chucks of animal

What do vegans have on a bbq, what can you smoke low and slow?

Where do vegans keep their wine?

That's it, I still feel weird about it, but not often enough. Sometimes I wonder if I should just go cold turkey.

Maybe I'll just start with a meat free day during the week.

Humans aren't suppose to eat a lot of meat anyway, which is why we only have 2 teeth for it

I'm not vegan or vegetarian but had Dinner at a vegan restaurant in the city last weekend.

The food was fantastic. Not "fantastic for vegan" but straight up delicious.

I've cut down on meat a lot over time. My brain just can't handle the hypocrisy of the fact that I love animals and nature, yet I eat them. Plus I have a choice, which makes me even more of a wanker.

I still eat some, but no where near as much as before, and I'd prefer to go to a local butcher instead of JBS mass produced farmed shite. (Which is another topic that makes my stomach churn but I digress)

I've found that my cooking skills have improved by trying different things and I've surprised myself a lot in that regard.

I went meat free for a month a few months ago and it wasn't difficult at all. In fact, it was easy and helped with the cooking as per above.

Just need to knock it on the head for good soon. Though not eating cheese will be much harder than not eating meat. 

I hate cooking so I do eat a few ready meals, and usually pick veggie ones as I can pretend they're healthier. Tesco's Wild kitchen stuff seems okay. I mean it's full of salt, but that's why it's okay.

This isn't Bacon is pretty good too. And I do like Linda McCartney sausages.

Mainly it's chicken I find hard to replace. In my zero effort cooking approach I'll just have a chicken breast or a few thighs and a load of fresh spinach. Not found anything veggie that really works the same.



I'd struggle to give up halloumi if i went vegan.

Turkeys are still meat though.

Can't see myself ever dropping meat. I like animals and shit but I don't really see that as a contradiction, it's not either or. If I could click my fingers and reduce all the poor treatment of livestock animals to zero I would, but I'd still be buying and eating them.
I've tried most of the available meat substitutes here and none of them come close in flavour. Some are ok, and I don't mind them now and again.

I wish I could attempt and eat vegetarian but I just really enjoy eating meat and fish. I enjoy it for pretty much every meal and snacks.

I also love milk and some cheeses so the vegan route is also out.

My little brother is a vegan and he came around for a take away one evening. The choice for takeaways, even in a city like Bristol, was so few are far between he ended up getting a bloody pizza. It's a honourable thing to do but totally not worth the restrictive nature of it.

Omnivore, but lactose intolerant (but lactase tablets get around this) and married to a pescatarian (veggie that cheats) so I don't eat all that much meat.

Also shouldn't touch caffeine or chocolate or cheese due to migraines

South London has loads of vegan takeaways, including those that barely advertise the fact. A local brunch place actually doesn't say it anywhere, except the website. So you can order a blt or sausage roll, and vegan versions will turn up.

I definitely have reduced my meat intake, health, environment and animal welfare related. The vegan versions and options have massively improved in past couple years.

Back when we used to have friends we went round someones house for dinner and they served up some bolognese or something. After we'd finished they had this massive shit eating grin on their face and said "I bet you didn't realise that wasn't meat" or something, as if they'd somehow got one over on us. It took the wind out of their sails a bit when I told them that not only could we tell, it tasted like crap but we were being polite in not mentioning it.
