"No we don't want to be forced to eat it" Ok then can we get two orders? "No that's tacky please stop trying to make meatless Mapon happen"

Mapo Tofu is uh, not unusual to be vegan and a frequent variation is with eggplant and no beef. Also what fuckers are going to a chinese restaurant and dont have multiple vegetarian, if not vegan dishes. What colossal assholes who do not understand what eating family style means. I just got back from china with family and Im literally mad about dishes. Edit: A basic rule of thumb is to order 150% of the dishes you would order for guests if they were doing individual meals. Over the next few months well learn about dish composition and protein source as well as cooking times impacting meal selection. Barudak fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Dec 8, 2019 |

FilthyImp posted:Could it be things like "oh this has honey in it, oh this is breaded so it probably has eggs"? Honey would be very uncommon as would bread, like in general. Quite a lot of sichuan dishes are just vegetable mixes hot or cold, with things like garlic cooked in with the vegetable oil along with various spice mixes. After making a menu full of things like pan fried spicy lotus root, you then can add tofu and suddenly your menu doubled in size. Going the other way is easy as hell too since its just telling the chef, hey, just dont throw the meat into this wok full of stuff. Barudak fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Dec 8, 2019 |

Perhaps meatless mapon would be tacky in texture,like the meat provides a lubrication to the tofu, and the friend did not want to heap further indignities onto Mike by having to eat gross sticky tofu, especially if Mike has limited saliva from his dietary restrictions - Mike could have chocked on the tofu!

Lmao proper mapo tofu isn't even supposed to have that much meat in it, the meat is used more like a spice than an integral part of the dish. But Americans cannot tolerate that so they fill it up with minced meat, which makes the dish harder to eat too

I love the OP insisting it was "true cuisine" when it's likely the same trash American Chinese food panda express serves, and given the restaurant only had 1 vegan option (which makes zero sense) it was probably some lovely dive dumping MSG and corn syrup on everything. Anyone insisting that something they eat in America "must be eaten this way" is a loving tool because people from the actual culture aren't going to be super hardasses about it like that. mllaneza posted:They "suggested" he just eat plain rice and tea.

It might be fake but I always love the tales of people catering or cooking for a big family meal, and then relatives start bitching they weren't warned that it was meatless and that vegetarian/vegan hosts must always cook meat for them. pentyne fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Dec 8, 2019 |

FoolyCharged posted:"I dont really care about people's diet unless they try and force it on others" "I don't mind X unless they try to shove it in my face" is always what some conservative rear end in a top hat says right before they act completely unreasonably toward X. I don't mind vegans, I just don't see why it's such a big deal that I refuse to let my vegan brother bring a vegan dish to my BBQ. I don't mind black folks I just don't want my daughter to date one I don't mind gay people but they shouldn't be allowed to get married, adopt, be employed in my organization, etc "He tried to force everyone to eat vegan food" is exactly the kind of factually incorrect bullshit conclusion that I expect from some shithead who carts out "I don't mind vegans, but...

AITA for being jealous of my boyfriend on a road trip with his coworker?quote:My boyfriend just left for a 5 day road trip to a few national parks, which I have stressed several times that I have wanted to go do that with him. Even for the small stuff( like going and getting dinner)it’s some excuse like he doesn’t have the money, which I’m totally understanding of. Suddenly he springs on me that he’s going on this trip with another girl (just them two the whole trip) and sleeping in the same hotel rooms. He knows I was cheated on in my last relationship and when I told him it bothered me he used the excuse “you should be happy I’m out living life and getting these experiences”

AITA For Making Rude Comments Towards My Cisgender Friend?quote:One of my friends, "Sally", is cisgender, which I really have no problem with. We've been friends for four years, and I've known that she was cis the entire time. I mean, I don't really believe in cis people, I think you'd have to be a bit weird to consider yourself a cisgender, but whatever, we both play guitar and we like the same video games, so it doesn't really bother me.

I agree. It is extremely narcissistic to defy God, who is gay, by believing that you are a heterosexual outlier. The Bible makes it perfectly clear that the Lord is homosexual. I actually empathize a lot with God, because we both know the pain of raising disappointing heterosexual children. Evidence: -God created Adam first in His perfect image. He only created Eve because Adam demanded it. Like me, God was a bad parent, but somehow even worse because His son wanted to gently caress something that didn't even exist yet. Think about that: Adam wanted to gently caress something God had to invent. Adam is the pre-anime version of a weeaboo who humps his anime pillow. -We celebrate the immaculate conception because a man was born without having to touch a woman. -God is consistently only interested in the affairs of men. In short, God is gay. Like me, but an even worse parent because he gave up on Adam. I will never give up on my son.

The immaculate conception refers to Mary being born without original sin, which allowed her to carry the son of god. The oldest sources describe Mary with a word that is closest to "maiden," but which was translated to "virgin" at some point to help convert some celtic tribes who had a myth about a virgin birth  Anyway, it is well established that God is in favor of both homosexuality and drug use, as in Leviticus it states "if a man lies with another man, they should both be stoned"

My final contingency plan for my son is that should I die while he's still married to his wife he will only inherit my estate and my majority stake in Capital Under Management if he marries a man within 72 hours of my will reading. The greatest gift I can give him in death is a forced gay romance based on a romantic comedy I saw while drunk and sort of remember the details of.

I am having a hard time believing there is a Chinese place that doesn't have multiple vegetables and tofu options. But if such a place exists, let the vegan order his goddamn mapo tofu without meat. It might taste wrong to a meat eater but give the guy his dish. At family style everyone should get to pick at least one dish. I would hope they also have salt and pepper tofu because that poo poo is delicious. Generally Asian food is the only time tofu is palatable for me because they aren't trying to make it substitute for meat. It's a good ingredient as long as you respect it and use it for what it is. That said, I absolutely suck at cooking tofu, can never get it right, and only eat it if it is on the menu at a restaurant.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for not wanting to “confess” or pay my mom’s medical bills after she ate my edibles? I'm still 20 pages back, but there was an update to this: /r/raisedbynarcissists My mom ate my edibles follow-up: I did it. I stood up to my nfamily and called them out on their emotional abuse [Progress] Hi. Two days ago, I made a post on AmITheAsshole that blew up way more than I thought it would and I was constantly referred to this sub. I legitimately thought that this was a morally grey situation (probably due to the gaslighting I’ve had to deal with) but apparently it broke one of the sub rules about not making a post where you clearly are not the rear end in a top hat (LOL) so it got deleted. Well at least my narc family thinks that I’m 1000% the rear end in a top hat. To sum it up, my mom has a history of snooping through my stuff (though she swears she does not). She dogsat for me while I was away, found my store-bought, child-proof labeled edibles, and went to the ER with a $1500 bill. She didn’t know what had happened to her and I refused to tell anyone or pitch in to pay for her medical bills because it’s not my fault and she’s fine. I made an update to the post stating that my aunt put two and two together and told the rest of the family that my mom went to the ER because she ate edibles at my place. They were harassing me and calling me horrible things, one of them being a criminal (weed isn’t legal in my state yet). This kind of behavior is not new but they’ve never had any “legal” dirt on me. So I responded with a big paragraph detailing the criminal history of this family. I mentioned penalties and jail times for tax evasion + money laundering, social security scam, and faking a marriage in order to obtain a permanent residency status. I told them I was mentioning these things of the past to show that there is no reason to vilify me so horribly for “what I’ve done” when they never got called out on any of these things. It felt amazing. Oh my god. They got so triggered it was beautiful. They really had no argument against me. So they just resorted to vile insults, called me insane, ungrateful and said that I was attacking them. Of course, they repeatedly reminded me that they have done so much for me. As if helping someone out excuses emotional abuse lol. I never stepped down to their level, but I did call them out on their repetitive verbal and emotional abuse. That only got them more triggered. But I’m financially independent and don’t need them lol. In fact my mom, despite being affected, is not mad at me or verbally abusing me at all. She doesn’t agree with what I said but is fighting back against the horrible things her siblings are saying about me. I feel like despite her invasiveness, there’s hope for her. She wants to try to be better. No one else realizes that there’s anything wrong to their words or actions. My cousins were always the trouble kids. I was the good girl, the one that never talked back to adults, the one that stayed quiet and obeyed. The one used as an example for how the rest should behave. Must be the wildest shock and betrayal to finally see me stand up for myself, and then disappear. From now on, I’m NC.
