My favourite video posted here was that one where that woman eats like, four heads of lettuce and a pound of figs every day for lunch because she's on a raw food diet and also vegan.

This is pretty true. I was a vegan for like half a decade and the worst thing was visiting someone's house for a holiday meal or something and having to choke down X-Loaf because they bought it just for me and I know that poo poo is expensive.

Unless you've got a shitload of time and money to invest in finding and cooking your food, most of what you end up eating is processed-to-hell, molded, frozen chemical slurries whose cooking instructions are microwave-only. Salads get old fast.

Unless youre Jain Vegan, there's a world of choice.
Like you're gonna have a staple to eat any how, what ever diet you have, Potatoes, eggplants, courgette, gourds, rice, Cabbage.

Seed/nut and Fruit vegans are laughable.
Mainly because they're slowly killing themselves with all that fat and simple sugars.

I guess in retrospect living in dorms with no kitchen and not knowing how to cook both influenced my diet pretty heavily. I was in the military and had to get the chow hall to make concession to allow me to combine things like a tortilla and the salad bar without getting charged for both a meat sandwich and a salad. Everything was a pain in the rear end.

This used to be a favorite of mine. You get maybe 3/4 C of chili for about $4. Microwave-only. 850 mg of salt per bowl puts it at ~1.45% salt! Seawater is like 3%.

I have known many vegtarians and a few vegans. There is a lot of good vegetarian food out there! When they start concocting weird imitations of meat and cheese, that is when things get awful. Just accept what tofu or beans are and enjoy them as such, don't try and make fake turkey or beef out of it, you just end up with a bland, oddly homogeneous facsimile. I have never had one that was even remotely enjoyable, and I really wonder why they exist.

You need to visit Shakeaway. They do icecream milkshakes with a huge variety of flavours. Cherry bakewell, creme egg, fruit flavours... I love em.

Yeah, I know, I've been there. They're not bad, if you order them extra thick. Super expensive though. Honestly I just make my own shakes with some vanilla ice cream and milk and various flavorings, but I love to complain about it. The UK has some weakass ice cream game.

Tofurkey tempeh is amazing. Although it sounds like that isn't a version of meat, it's just it's own thing, so that explains that?

I make a lot of boring looking food (rice and beans, curries, stews) and garnishing your food with some chopped spring onion / scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds / poppy seeds / furikake is a super easy way to make it look less terrible.

I like a lot of legit non-processed vegan recipes because vegetables are delicious and I'm addicted to seeds. No way I would eat 10 pounds of lettuce in one sitting though.

That is the problem. Take burgers - there are some delicious veggie burgers out there. Black bean, seitan, portabella, all can be delicious in their own right, but as soon as you start trying to make it taste like beef you ruin it.

The best veggie burgers are just large, flat falafel.

Falafel is basically the best food.

Yeah, they're pretty drat good. Especially in a pita bread pocket or in a kebab style wrap.
Number 1 Sexy Dad saying vegan/vegetarian food sucks because they couldn't cook is just like me saying meat sucks because all I bought was bad fast food burgers that taste like cardboard.
Fair go, they did admit they were in dorms with no kitchen and no cooking skills at the time, but everything sucks if buying lovely processed foods. I would be turned off meat if all I bought was lovely sausages and hamburger patties for a few years.

Just because it ain't pretty, doesn't mean it ain't good.

My favorite foods are: Sarma with a ton of Sauerkraut, and Gefuellte Paprika. Both look like you've dumped out a garbage can on the floor and let a dog choose the ingredients.
