Youri McAnespie Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 They donated loads to a foodbank at the 1st lockdown... So many they couldn't store them all so flogged some instead, £5er for a big box, volunteers had first refusal. My mate bought some and couldn't store them all so gave me a few dozen, they're still in ziplocs in my big standup American freezer, I'll let you have them if I commit another murder and need the freezer empty.

We occasionally eat there; burgers, hot dogs, calamari, chilli con carne, etc. Two things: Why do vegans like to dress their plant based food to look like the animal based stuff? Why does it taste so bloody good? Seriously, try some sometime, you may be pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards to vegans going to KFC or BK, I agree. At least this friend of mine has a vegan kitchen which doesn’t suddenly become a cooking establishment for meaty stuff.

Aye, someone who's always eaten meat may be more likely to try eating healthier if it's a passed of as bacon rather than a carrot Not that meat eaters have a monopoly on sausage content like You could call meatballs something like 'meat sprouts' if you wanted We get plant shwarma kebab, vegan Donner meat in, very nice it is too (but no substitute for the real thing when pissed)  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only a veggie doubt I would ever become vegan, can’t beat real leather s&m gear.  It tastes great because it’s has its flavour is packed  with spices and flavourings. That’s what made me turn veggie, it’s never the taste of the meat I like it’s the sauce or spices that goes with it that I like. But yeah no vegan is going to Burger King or KFC because they don’t agree with their practices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Many vegetarians/vegans etc like the taste of meat, but don't eat it on moral grounds. So to have something that looks like and tastes a little bit what they actually like to eat is a bonus, hence the amount of non-meat version of the real thing. In fairness, although both shite, a Quorn nugget tastes better than a McDonalds one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
