Gotta agree that veggo and vegan food is best when it's a cuisine or meal that was designed for it, not just a meat meal with the meat replaced or removed. That said, there are also plenty of meals that you can make vegan or vegetarian pretty easily

Basically if you can cook well then vegan/veggo food is fine. This thread is full of great examples of how any good food can be ruined by lovely cooking or presentation

Ooh I just sauteed onions and mushrooms with butter to top a steak. Like, just an hour ago. Did you feel it upset the balance?

It was sold as a garbage garnish plant commercially. Until the 2000s it was something like nobody was buying it beside Pizza Hut for their buffet garnish.

Kales fine but I'll take almost any other cabbage over it except for actual literal cabbage.

It's cabbage so basically a leafy weed so if your paying $7 a leaf you're buying it at a rip off store.

Nah, price spikes happen when demand suddenly outstrips supply. This is more likely to happen with something that grows on a tree or shrub that takes years to mature, or with something that only grows in very specific conditions.

Kale is an annual cabbage that can be grown almost anywhere in America, not some particular mountainous region of Peru or something. Real easy for any farmer to substitute kale for any other kind of cabbage with just a year or two of lead time. Seed companies can easily quadruple seed production within a couple years. It just isn't difficult to scale up commercial kale production.

You will see a more significant price difference for the organic kale sold in stores for neurotic people with too much money. So if you saw a kale in a Piggly Wiggly 10 years ago and then you see a kale in Whole Foods today it may look like a huge price jump, but that's just the organic surcharge.

It was quinoa, but apparently that was a myth so everyone can continue eating their strange ancient grains.

The smell of frying onions is a primal food trigger to me. Cooking onions? SO HUNGRY! The sight of nicely sauteed mushrooms is the same for my eyes.

The kale as a super bougie thing is so strange to me because for me growing up, kale was something only my dad ate and he definitely did not sauté it or julienne it to eat raw with some sprouted seeds - it was boiled, and served along with boiled hairy bacon and boiled floury spuds.

Stern, solid food, no frills.
