Meat is Murder (but it's so goddamned tasty!)

Quick update:

My ten-day stint as a vegetarian (aside from a small poutine cheat on Friday night) has officially ended, owing to the succulent siren song of Coco Rico.

And until they make soy products that taste like delicious slow-roasted Portugeuse-style chicken, that's just the way it's going to have to be.

(Now playing: "Fading Vibes", Les Savy Fav)

(P.S. I'm totally interviewing The Stills this week! Awesome.)

There are very yummy "tastes just like chicken!" (or other meats, or seafood, or fish) soy and gluten based products. Any good Buddhist Chinese restaurant will offer them on the menu. And you can also buy them at good Asian supermarkets (such as T&T Supermarket, which I believe recently opened a Toronto-area location or two). You can buy them plain or marinated (for that extra meat-y taste - sweat and sour "p0rk" marinated in sauce, complete with pineapple chunks). Come to Vancouver with me, and I'll show you an awesome vegan time. (Also: you ain't tried nothin' 'til you've tried my vegan "French toast" and/or "eggs benny".)

I'd just like to point out that BOTH of these comments are about twice as long as my original post.

Anyone have any vegan recipes to share? Join the party!

While I think that vegan "meat" kind of defeats the purpose of tofu (it is not a tasty fake meat, it is a tasty dish unto itself, when prepared to taste like tasty tofu, not like meat) I have to say that Ben makes THE BEST VEGAN FRENCH TOAST OF ALL TIME. I know, I've witnessed it. In other news, the good ol' mixed berry + banana + Tropicana Orange/Mango smoothie is still deliciously vegantastic. As is hummus. And falafel.

For the record, I have commented earlier, but only on occasion.

P.S. - You can't become a vegetarian because you're deathy allergic to so many of those hippy foods.

Sayeth Optimus: but i do firmly believe that a vegan 'eggs benedict' is an aberration unto G-d.This Jew's first all vegan "eggs benedict" was lovingly created, cooked, and consumed at Coffee Messiah, so let's not argue "aberrations unto G-d", eh?
