Well at the time it came across as "I have acquired horrible knowledge about the world; I cannot process this alone, and you are the only person who will listen to me and understand precisely how hosed we are." But without getting too E/N about it, it was largely miserable even aside from that.

Many moons ago, like maybe 2007 or 2008, I had an intern who swore the exact same thing and that he'd held that position at Domino's.

He went on a huge rant about it one afternoon, and everyone in the office was looking at each other like, "What the gently caress is he on? Do we need a breathalyzer?"

If boneless wings were actually meat that was de-boned then they would be a lot more expensive.

Vegan wings are now coming with sugarcane "bone" sticks inserted to give the illusion of eating an actual drum wing.

People are weird when it comes to eating meat & meat substitutes.

I don't understand why you'd eat a mediocre version of a meat dish as a vegetarian/vegan instead of one of the many delicious vegetarian dishes out there that aren't trying to pretend to be meat

I'm not vegetarian or vegan, and if I ever have to give up meat I'll be very sad indeed, but actual vegetarian and vegan dishes that know what they are and stay in their respective lanes are delicious and will be a good silver lining when that day comes.

There's something about the texture of both Beyond and Impossible burgers that just tastes off to me.

One of them, I can't remember which, also had a very strong flavor of peas.

I made some food for a friend's family last week as they just had a baby & the father is allergic to soy and all nuts. This means making Indian, Thai, or any other vegan Asian dishes is kind of off the table.

This has always been my thought as well. I am not vegetarian, but I don't think it would be that difficult to do so. I just don't see the rationale in replacing meat with fake meat, tofurkey is terrible, impossible sausage was terrible, Saag Paneer is good, a bean burrito is fine. Make dishes that are inherently vegetarian and it will taste good, trying to replicate something that is 90% meat seems like a wasted effort.

Oh, I don't think of that as junk food I think of it as fast food. I think of junk food as stuff like Cheetos, Fritos, Dorritos, things that end in "-os," but I get your meaning.

Interestingly, Cheetos and Doritos are not vegetarian. They use rennet in the cheese. Rennet is made from stomach enzymes.

I have had some meat substitutes that were perfectly fine. Theres a vegan place near me that makes a “cheesesteak” with seitan and that’s not really something I think you can mimic with mushrooms or whatever. I agree that a good vegetarian meal will make you not miss meat at all, but if meat substitutes get someone to cut back on their consumption I’m not going to knock somebody for it.

I'm very lucky to have not lost anyone to COVID in the last three years (that I know of), but I did lose an amazing vegetarian Indian buffet that I had only just discovered in January 2020. If I could eat at that place every day I'd be vegetarian for sure.

I would try impossible burgers if you want experiment with meatless burgers, they taste closer to actual beef.

Or don't bother. I still eat meat, I try and eat less meat and have more salads and try and find vegetarian meals that aren't just an imitation of meat, and then eat meat as a treat.

One thing I noticed is that some people try to fry them without adding oil. Ground beef with a reasonably high fat content, say 90% or 85% or similar, fries nicely in a dry pan, but the substitute ones, Beyond and Impossible, both say to use oil and you have to use oil. Otherwise the surface burns and it is not lovely charring meat smell, it's just burning vegetable matter.

Mod Pizza has vegan toppings, including cheese. Made celebrating Pi day convenient.


One IMAX theater live streamed the 25th anniversary 8K remaster of Darren Aranofsky's Pi but the projectionist kept the setting for 3D (which this remaster was definitely not in) so we all had to sit thru 5 minutes of blurry movie before they restarted it in the correct stttings.
