Vegan is expensive AF if I’m expected to like for like replace normal with vegan (ie. Vegan cheese)
I lean vegetarian because fuck living without eggs, butter and cheese lol
Personally speaking I’d do a vegetarian thanksgiving without tofurky. People try to hard to replicate meat. Just accept no meat and be done with it. It’s so much better.
For the record I’m doing a turkwy for Christmas and it will be delicious lol
I do turkey once a year because I am not a fan. It will be delicious to never be seen for another year lol.
I’ve become more vegetarian friendly over the years but Jesus I hate this fake meat trend. Some of us frankly don’t care about not having something that tastes like meat. I don’t want an ass beyond burger I want an awesome homemade black bean burger.
I get we are trying to encourage people who would eat meat to not eat meat but it’s really like tying your hand behind your back when it comes to enjoying your food because it will never match meat so why try?
Yes, meat actually has a very limited flavour palette itself and you can get great variety without it. When I first when veg the “meat” was seriously ass, too. At this point if you’re socially in a burger situation there’s actual options.
Butter can be subbed out pretty easy and cheaply, to my taste buds, though. The wonders of vegetable oil hydrogenation and diacetyl.
Let’s see the cost difference here as well.

I’m not a vegan and I take issue with you saying you’ll have a delicious turkey… I’m not sure such a thing exists.
That said, I DID just finish putting one in a brine…

Veggies rule.
Strong agree. I don’t want food pretending to be other food so I eat it, I just want food that tastes good.
Best takeaway of eating more vegetarian meals. I don’t have to worry about those gross bites of meat where a bone slips in or grisel. Ewwwwww
False. Best takeaway is the fiber increase. It it is nice to have fewer nasty bites though.
Also, when I DO opt for a steak I don’t feel as bad spending more money and really making a production of it.
Oooh good call. The poops are amazing lol
