Ok, /ck/. My vegan cousin and his vegan husband are coming over this weekend and they always bring their own food because they're pretentious twats. I convinced them that I would cook them 2 good vegan meals while they're in town. I ain't doing that shit. First meal, just some stuff on the grill for the first night they get in, quick and easy while we catch up over some drinks.
>Corn on the cob/Potatoes
trick here is I got some sticks of vegan "butter", pulled the wrappers off and put real butter in the wrappers. They'll never know the difference.
>Fresh cut salad with stuff from my parent's garden
The only dressing I'll have is a bottle of vegan "ranch" that I'm going to fill with hidden valley.
>Burgers
Real beef hamburgers, I'll over cook them and tell them they're beyond burgers. I'll even have some vegan cheese for them, only because there's no way to make real cheese taste as nasty as vegan cheese.

I'm trying to figure out it what to make the next day, I kind of want to make a french onion soup and just tell them it's vegan but I'm open for suggestions.

where?

all meat substitute burgers still have that "veggie burger" flavor to them though, despite all the marketing trying to convince you otherwise. it's kind of like soy sauce and mushrooms. it doesn't taste like overcooked beef. the only way you can't tell it's not real meat is to have a really thin patty and bury it beneath a bunch of condiments and stuff.

Diet is an incredibly personal thing, going out of your way to intentionally fuck with someone's diet makes you a fucking psychopath.

Pre-covid my office regularly had pot-lucks.
I would make “vegetable soup” but use veal blood in the broth. The IT-Hindus would eat that shit up and often ask for the recipe, which of course is a “family secret”. I also shared some pork-rinds with a Muslim classmate back in college and told her they were fried rice cakes.

Edamame as a snack is one thing. Eaten in any significant amounts, and it's bad for you. Farmers used to mix soy beans into their feed when the animals were too fat.

OP here. after reading your replies(which were all very helpful, even if you didn't intend them to be) I've decided to go with french onion soup for the second night.I'll definitely be using beef stock and saying it's vegetable stock, but like one anon mentioned adding value blood to soup I may just drain a couple raw steaks into it for good measure.

other anons made a good point that butter doesn't taste anything like vegan "butter" so I went out and bought some. Like anon suggested margarine tastes fairly similar so I'll use that when I swap the labels. Will be good for corn and potatoes when I grill.

thinking about making mashed potatoes with margarine and a mix of almond and dry milk. I'll chop some chives and have some vegan sour cream on the side(they won't use it but it makes it look like I'm trying).

as for using real burgers that are heavily processed and trying to pass them off as beyond burgers I'm going to test a couple of both with my neighbors dog tomorrow.

still planning on passing hidden valley off as vegan for the salad.

Similar experience. Had a vegan fag come to one of my bbq (grill not smoke). Didnt know he was coming. He brought his own food. Was asked to cook it for him. I said sure. Finished cooking all the meat. Threw the patties on after. He took one bite and asked if i had warmed his food on top of aluminum foil or straight on the grates. Asked why he was asking. He said it tasted different than usual. Told him it was on the grates. He spit up the food and threw away the entire pack of patties. Fucking fag.

If you want to lower your actual estrogen, you should be eating more fiber. Your excess estrogen gets recycled when the lower intestine isn't full of fiber to absorb and remove it.
