noone cares about your dead broccli covered in greesy hot sauce or your giant lettuce

hot wings hurt my tummy :(

>>10682171

Sure thing buddy.

>>10682171
>cauliflower wings

someone delete this dumb shit already

this actually doesnt sound that bad if its a side for actual wings
i ask for my fries and veggies to be tossed in the sauce when i go to a wing place and they usually look at me wierd

>>10682171
This looks and sounds good imo, i don't understand all the hate

>>10682171
sweet and sour chicken-style fried cauliflower is actually excellent

>>10682313
They hate it because /ck/ hates healthy vegan food.

since your subing chicken with califlour can i subb coluliflower with chicken
like can i make a pizza crust with ground up chicken?

>>10682346
That would make it less healthy and more harmful to the environment. So that sounds like a step backwards.

What a bunch of faggots you people are on this board.

>>10682171
Cauliflower doesn't taste or feel at all like chicken
Fucking nuke California

>>10682324
They hate it because it was posted in an antagonistic way. I think it looks good too but I doubt it will change anyone’s life.

>>10682387
Raising livestock is a very inefficient use of resources and adds to pollution with excess animal waste and methane.

>>10682410
but you aren't eating it for the chicken, you're eating it for the sauce

>>10682280
>I'm going to go full aspie when nobody listens to me to begin with, and they're drinking

>>10682171
Uh, you know they put buffalos in Buffalo sauce, right? Stupid vegans.

>>10682413
It is a healthier alternative. The only people who see that as antagonistic are people who are dedicated to the old way of eating.

>>10682422
>>very inefficient use of resources and adds to pollution
so are cell phones, but I see that isn't stopping you from using one.

>>10682422
Retards and cripples are a waste of resources too but they still wont let you kill them

>>10682460
>It is a healthier alternative
Yes.

>>The only people who see that as antagonistic are people who are dedicated to the old way of eating.
You don't think the choice of the term "carnist" is deliberately antagonistic?

>>10682462
Some things are necessary for modern life. Some are hold overs of a less advanced age. Meat and animal products are one of these things.

>>10682481
Some people used to own and sell slaves, we call them slave owners/slavers. Its a statement of fact. If they find that offensive, then maybe they understand on a base level that some might find it as a regressive way of living.

There's nothing "necessary" about your instabook addiction or obsession with sending useless texts. But keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel better.

>Some are hold overs of a less advanced age. Meat and animal products are one of these things.
Utter nonsense. While I do agree that most Westerners consume an unhealthy amount of meat, suggesting that people should become vegan is beyond idiotic. For starters, most of the world doesn't have the luxury of being able to afford a vegan diet. Just because you can enter a fancy supermarket and buy whatever veggie you want regardless of growing season doesn't mean that everyone has that option. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have an army of smoke-belching ships and trucks to get them a world-class selection of ingredients year-round. Furthermore, many nutrients are far more bioavailable from animal sources. If you are concerned about health you would be an idiot not to take advantage of this. And finally, a scheme where some animal foods are incorporated into one's diet is by far the most efficient method of farming. Animals can be fed inedible (to humans) crop waste. Animal manure makes an excellent fertilizer. The old fashioned system of small farms in which people ate mostly vegetables supplemented with small amounts of meat is by far the most efficient.

>>10682499
>Its a statement of fact
Bullshit. It's loaded language used for propaganda purposes. The term you are looking for is "omnivore"--but no, you won't use that because that's not the trendy term you and your vegan friends use to insult people who aren't members of your strange religion.

>>10682370
ur a step backwards in evolution mate

>>10682534
It’s just standard frying, retard

>>10682518
>doesn't mean that everyone has that option.

And that is why people who want to see humanity progress are working to make that a reality. The biggest hurdle to get over is the idea that humans need meat, or that it is healthy for them. Just like people in the bronze age thought they needed animal sacrifies to make the gods happy, we can teach them that such sacrifices are not needed for humans themselves to thrive.

It is a psychological barrier at this point, we have all the tools necessary to make the world vegan, we just need to educate people that it is the best way.

>>10682171
>They are a tastier

No the fuck they aren't

>>10682553
>The biggest hurdle to get over is the idea that humans need meat
No. The biggest hurdle to get over is that many people worldwide can't afford fruits or vegetables grown out-of-season to be shipped to them from thousands of miles away.

It will always be cheaper to eat a pig fed with local scraps during the winter than it will be to ship in an equivalent amount of nutrition from the other side of the planet where it IS growing season. And even if that became cheap, it's still costly in terms of pollution.

>>It is a psychological barrier at this point
Yeah, inside your head, apparently. Eating small amounts of animal products will always be both healthier and more efficent than consuming an entirely vegan diet, yet your strange psychological barrier won't let you see that. You only see "muh 6 hamburgers a day" and "muh 100% perfect vegan". You fail utterly at seeing everything in between.

Sorry, I only like boneless wings.

>>10682553
>The biggest hurdle to get over is the idea that humans need meat

>>10682346
>doesn’t know the difference flour/flower

>>10682580
So then if we eat you when your a vegetable we are vegetarians?

>>10682595
you cant eat anything that doesnt concent to being eaten

>>10682599
Well shit. That celery stick I just ate didn't give consent first.

>>10682553
No, if vegans tried to phase out meat they'd be killed and eaten themselves. You're delusional to think meat is going anywhere until it's a resource necessity because meat production can't be sustained.

>>10682602
that makes you a bad person then

>>10682568
We live in a global society and rich nations have more than enough to provide to poorer people of the world. When they become healthier they will advance more and such foods will be readily be available. A vegan world is progress and we all win.

>>10682633
You're rich enough to have the luxury of the internet. How much have you provided to the poorer people of the world?

Oh, wait, lemme guess: this is about "they" and "them", right? It's not your responsibility?

>>10682549
it doesn't matter what you call it as long as you understand what it is.

>>10682670
It is about making the world a better place. There is no "they" and "them" it is us. Also the well being of animals seems to be lost in your equation.

>>10682701
I don't think you realize that if 100% synthetic meat that e.g. tasted exactly like pork was invented tomorrow, if it was easy to distribute/create and affordable, then people would kill all the pigs immediately. Being edible is the only thing that keeps them alive to begin with. That's how the world works even without human intervention.

>>10682717
As long as people pay for brand name shit like apple products and designer handbags people will pay for real meat. We easily look past sweatshops and child slavery, I doubt something as inconsequential as a cows feelings are going to matter.

>>10682752
If it tasted the same and cost less to produce then it would just be simple economics, nobody would want to bother to raise pigs. Even if there were people willing to pay a premium for "real" meat unless it was made illegal the companies would just lie and say it was real and charge more for the same product.

>>10682171
post recipe, OP

>>10682171
Are they charred on a grill first? How would you replicate the meaty flavor?

>>10682171
>h-hey anon, try these buffalo bites. They're healthier and taste way better than actual chicken

>>10682171
looks pretty good, wings are heavily overrated.

I will continue eating beef though

>>10682171
These look legit good and I'd try it but you'd be so kind to not say something as silly as a cauliflower being tastier than meat

>>10682171
Daily reminder that posts regarding your silly exclusionary fad diet have no place on a cooking forum.

Fuck off and eat buckshot, commie.

This. Also, veggie pizza no meat whatsoever. Cheese is your only option to not look like a gigantic fag without meat.

You didn't answer the question, anon:

>>How much have you provided to the poorer people of the world?
Answer, please.

>>Also the well being of animals seems to be lost in your equation.
Not at all. I am 100% opposed to factory farmed meat. I just realize that it's possible to eat meat without it being factory-farmed meat. I also realize that even if were to be 100% vegan animals would still die for my diet.

>>10682778
>Even if there were people willing to pay a premium for "real" meat unless it was made illegal the companies would just lie and say it was real and charge more for the same product.
Utter nonsense.

For starters, making somethig illegal doesn't get rid of it. I.e. "War on drugs".
Second, it would be impossible for a company to lie about their supposed product. Scientific tests can easily identify lab vs. wild meat and that would be one hell of a lawsuit. And while they might attempt to fool someone buying a highly processed product, how TF are they going to fool someone wanting a whole hog?

>>10682171
>tastier
Stop lying to yourself, faggot.

>>10682171
why not both?

>>10682952
>For starters, making somethig illegal doesn't get rid of it. I.e. "War on drugs".
One example of many with the exact opposite outcome.

>it would be impossible for a company to lie about their supposed product. Scientific tests can easily identify lab vs. wild meat and that would be one hell of a lawsuit.
"Real" only needs to be a certain percentage of the real deal, differentiated from product to product as set by the FDA. A lot of products actually contain "flavoring" and a solid substitute, like tofu. You're pretty brainless, anon.

This is why people cant take you guys seriously.

Ha.

>>10682778
>If it tasted the same and cost less to produce then it would just be simple economics
What function does a Michael Kors handbag from a boutique serve over one from TJmaxx at a third of the value? More appropriately, what does a Louis Vuitton have over a generic? Youre trying to apply a purely utilitarian outlook on something that is already a luxury item in most of the world. We even have this now where animals raised in ultra specific ways in a lineage going back 200 years are worth a 4000% markup entirely because people pay for it. It really shouldnt surprise me at this point that a group that cant get past chapter 3 of their bio textbook, day one of AgSci or hour one of high school health class has yet another subject they suck at but here I am.

this is literally how i eat all of my food.
I use meat here and there but I get all of my veggies and basically make wings out of it minus the frying part.

You veggitarians and meat eaters are all fucking dumb.
Everything I eat is delicious and you both suffer.

>>10682422
That’s why I eat as much livestock as I can, to thin their numbers.

>>10682171
I genuinely like these a lot, but fuck you regardless.

2/10 made me reply.
They don't taste like meat.
They don't provide essential amino acids needed for survival.
I don't need to take supplements if I eat meat.
They don't possess enough fats, needed for survival.
And you can't barbecue cauliflower like you can chicken.

Why are you vegetarians living in denial?
I totally respect the political standpoint that consuming red meat contributes to unmanageable levels of methane in the atmosphere, but don't try to convert me.

that honestly looks pretty good to me

>>10682171

Mmm, yes. Let's turn it completely into sugary, fatty carbs and pretend it's good and healthy.

This is obviously shit as an alternative to chicken wings, but it's not so bad by itself.
It's called Gobi 65 in India, and it tastes pretty great

>>10682403
this. I fucking love this board, please don't kill it you fucking faggots :'(

>>10682171
Deep fried veggies are pretty based I still like chicken wings though

>>10682171
What makes chicken wings unhealthy is frying them in a batter and sautee-ing(?) Them in a sauce rich with butter and vinegary hot sauce. The batter, grease, and sauce is what makes it unhealthy. Chicken is healthy standalone. Your cauliflower "wings" are still unhealthy.

How are you this dumb?

>>10686695
With all the skin on it? 10 wings are easily 1000 calories.

>>10682171
>wings
>cauliflower

Are you a moron?

>>10682171

>>10686695
You are literally deep frying meat in oil and covering them in calorie sauce. Wings are one of the most unhealthy thing you can eat, which is why OP has provided a healthy alternative.

>>10682171
They taste fine, but they're not going to replace chicken wings

>>10687113
Depends. Decent size, breaded, buffalo sauce could even be more. Non breaded with straight hot sauce would be less than 1000

>>10682403
It's pretty obvious that this board is a mixture of /leftypol/ and Reddit. There is really no denying it.

buffalo sauce is the entire reason buffalo wings are bad for you.

>>10682171
Cauliflower tastes like farts.

>>10682171
How about i eat what i want? i ain't talking about chicken n gravy biach!

Do these cauliflower "wings" have any crunch/crisp to them whatsoever? I usually just eat my wings plain and the skin is crispy enough, but breaded ones can be good too. Since this is keto, is there some weird type of breading to make it even a little crunchy? With sauce on the side for dipping right before consumption?

>>10682171
We make cauliflower wings and normal buffalo wings. The cauliflower stuff is alright, but you're not fooling anyone into thinking it's as tasty as chicken.
