Ilikethepixies 7 years 12 days ago Posts: 6051 Globally Banned	Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a meat-eatter to the very death. I've butchered just about every type of animal one could butcher and to live without meat would be very sad. However, there is this adorable (those of you who know me know that I don't throw that word out too often) vegan cafe within walking distance from where I live. It supports local farmers, sustainable agriculture, organic (or at least pesticide-free) produce... the works. So, I really like the place, I like the politics, I like the people... but I'm a meat eater by nature. For those of you who have experience with vegan food, what kinds of food would you recommend to someone who hasn't eaten a lot of it before? I tried a hummus and vegetable pita wrap, which was quite good. I'm just scared about taking the leap into tofu. I am just... somewhat scared of it. So what ya'll vegan-eattin' retro junkies got for lil' ol' Pixies?

Soymilk can be ok with lattes or coffees um...the tofu burgers and things are kinnda descusting but a block of tofu chopped and added in to a meal tatstes better for some reason.

Video Jukebox 7 years 12 days ago Posts: 1069	I'm a meat-eater, but I once went to a restaurant in Manhattan that served "chicken" burritos made with seitan in lieu of chicken. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't really notice much of a difference. Of course, it could have been because it was Mexican food and I was huunnnngry. I've also eaten tofu cheesecake before. Unfortunately, I wasn't so impressed this time. It was sweet, but it had a wang to it that you could tell just wasn't cheese. Based on my experiences, tofu usually doesn't taste like much of anything on its own. When mixed with other things, it'll taste like whatever it's mixed with. The consistency is usually pretty mushy, though. That might put some people off. Not all tofu is alike, though. Apparently, people in Hong Kong like theirs stinky.

Ilikethepixies 7 years 12 days ago Posts: 6051 Globally Banned	I know that there are two different types of tofu, I watched the "Good Eats" show on it, but I forget which one. Damn Alton Brown marinated and cooked it like a steak. It has to do with the curds and whey or whatever it is translated into soybean terms. What's "seitan"? Is it pronounced "satan"? Also, is it evil?

Ilikethepixies 7 years 12 days ago Posts: 6051 Globally Banned	Gimme it one more time! Just kidding. I find that the older I get, the more interested I become in other ways of being. The vegan lifestyle, for instance. Please, feed me information. I am but a block of spongey tofu waiting for the soaking of your knowledge marinade.

My relatives, brothers and parents INHALED it. No really, it was THAT delicious. It's vegan friendly and I made it that way since some of cousins who were there were vegans themselves. It consisted of onions, bell peppers and zucchini chopped up and fried in the wok with vegetable oil and lotsa soy sauce.

kayvee 7 years 4 days ago Posts: 3695	Best vegan burrito I ever had: refried beans, diced fried potatoes, Spanish rice, avocado, grilled onions, & habanero hot sauce- all wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla. The only thing missing was the cheese but it was supposed to be vegan- so no dairy. It was pretty damn good though. I'll take potatoes over tofu but I suppose tofu is ok every now and then. It's pretty good fried crispy with that Tai style peanut sauce.

Ilikethepixies 7 years 4 days ago Posts: 6051 Globally Banned	That does sound damn tasty. I might have to see if the place near me has it. As for the tofu... anything tastes good after its been fried.

LivelyLorikeet 6 years 11 months ago Posts: 215	My favorite vegan food, by far, is vegetable stir-fry. I love things that are covered in sauces. Vegetable stir-frys are especially good with a mix of bland things (broccoli, carrots, bok choy, water chesnuts, etc.) and strongly flavored things (bell peppers, onions). And, if you need some protein, throw some deep-fried tofu chunks in there; seriously, just put some chunks of tofu into a pan of hot oil and they'll turn very crispy and golden. And then cover everything with a thick, sticky sauce. Yum! (I'm a meat-eater, but I used to be a vegetarian.)

kayvee 6 years 9 months ago Posts: 3695	I like to check out vegan restaurants every now and then. It's hard to go full vegan in today's society, especially if you're in a relationship. I know a guy that is vegan but his wife eats meat. I don't know how the hell they manage to prepare separate meals every night. It must be nuts.

Ilikethepixies 6 years 9 months ago Posts: 6051 Globally Banned	Yeah, that's a good point. Its a lot easier to eat less meat and dairy once you know all of the hormones and antibiotics you are taking into your system. I had a vegan gyro the other day that was fucking delicious. The tofu tasted and had the texture of meat. I couldn't beleive how good it was. If I could prepare tofu like that resturant, I would have no problem being vegan (for the most part). I don't know that I could ever completely give up meat.

kayvee 6 years 9 months ago Posts: 3695	That dude that I was talking about also has a little boy, and he is raising him to be vegan. Doesn't that seem like a lot to put a kid through?

Ilikethepixies 6 years 9 months ago Posts: 6051 Globally Banned	Yeah. Its a good way to raise a healthy kid though. I say that if the kid is up for it, why not?

kayvee 6 years 9 months ago Posts: 3695	True, but the pesticides still may get you. It just seems like at some point he'd get curious about a chicken strip or a glass of milk. I certainly admire that kind of discipline. It would be easier if the school systems offered a meal option to accommodate the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle.
