It's not offensive because it is stupid. At least from what I've heard, vegan meat is highly processed food that is bad for you. It depends on why you are vegan, but in certain cases you defeat the purpose of being a vegetarian by eating this highly processed food. More than that, vegetables and fruits are tasty on their own. Why would you want to do this weird 'vegan' meat thing? Eat a freaking potato baked in coals and call it a day. It is delicious. Or I dunno, eat mapo tofu, vegan samosas, whatever man.
YOU KNOW SAMOSAS! OMG IKR! I FEEL SO INFURIATED LIKE THOSE VEGAN ARE LIKE WE HAVE NOTHING TO EAT SO GOOD AND HERE IN THE SOUTH-EAST ASIA PEOPLE CHOOSE VEGETARIAN FOOD OVER NON-VEGETARIAN ALL THE TIME!

I enjoyed this as well. And you are correct, it's terrible to discuss these matter with most people. They stick rigidly to their beliefs. And while we may not have changed the other, I'm glad we could come to a mutual understanding.
I am gonna cry. It's my first time seeing such a good conversation talking about on common grounds with no hatred whatsoever. I wished we could communicate like this more often.

I won't feed it to you. Rather, how about an ice cream?

I had them once with a sort of curry sauce and they were absolutely delicious.
They are the green or the red? Or both together?

If you liked samosa, there's this dish called Samosa Chat. It's like smashed samosa but with a ton of yogurt, sauce, bhoojiyas, etc.

Green I think. It was a long time ago, I would've ordered them again but that restaraunt closed because of Covid I think? I actually don't know why they closed, but they did, and it happened after Covid. A shame. They had tasty food.

You had the green chatni. It's the spicy sauce. If you had it with the red sauce, which is sweet, I am telling you. You will ascend to heaven.

I feel so bad for you. Istg, I have never tasted anything as good as Indian cuisine in my whole life.

Falafel taste good and can provide some proteins, and they aren't pretending to be meat

The marketing approach of making vegan meat is weird. Vegan dish can be delicious without pretending to be meat lol

Falafels are pretty decent. Try using chaat masala or fruit masala along with it. It's delicious.

Vegan bacon is amazing. It doesn't taste anything like real bacon but it's still pretty good. Kind of tastes like chicken balogna/weiners.

The hamburger replacement made of wheat is only good with the right spices. Otherwise, it tastes like cardboard.

But I am a fan of things like liver, hearts and chicken gizzards so I might not be the best to judge faux meat.

Right, I remembered another thing. Pilaf is a big thing here. Since we have a lot of people coming from countries that has pilaf as their staple food, it became big here as well. Vegetarian pilaf can be just as good if not better than pilaf with meat. There is a thing, vegetarian pilaf with dried apricots.

I didn't try it myself since I don't like apricots. :blob_teehee:

It's vegan ~ Flashbacks from Breaking Bad.

Same here. Saw some of those vegan meat here in the stores, that's why I asked before buying it out.

No harm in trying it unless it's the stupidly overpriced stuff. I mean, I'd buy the vegan bacon but I would be the only one eating it and it's a little too pricey to go in my ghetto stirfries.

Yea, I have seen people mentioning it pricey. Makes sense cause it's artificial.

I find it stupid. Processed foods decrease in nutritional value, and these folks are eating super processed garbage made to taste like meat, but doesn't digest well, when a nice juicy steak has minimal processing, and digests fully and healthily
