So due to unforeseen circumstances I'll have to go vegan for a couple months. Give me your best tips/recipies that are vegan please.

Never give up meat for puss, boy.

This recipe is really good. But the winner is the cheesy bechamel sauce. It's fucking great and I've used it so many times for other dishes.

I'm sure if you ask your friend will help you out with recipes.

seitan and tempeh are great imo, seitan in particular is the most like meat without being one of those fake meat bs things. You don't have to soak lentils before cooking like with other dried beans, and green lentils make a good stand in for pretty much anything you'd use ground beef for. red lentils cook in less time and end up more creamy, I like using them in a cream of mushroom soup and it comes out tasting reminiscent of clam chowder.

Basically my staples involve hummus pasta, chili, whatever curry I'm feeling, and lentil rice. The more varied you can get your proteins (combining different beans, for instance) the easier you'll absorb stuff. You'll want to rinse canned beans btw to get rid of tannins and other gas causing substances. Nutritional Yeast is your friend--It is a great source of b12 and tastes like powdered nacho cheese, it's great in pretty much everything. Chia seeds are a good source of calcium and ground up flax seeds are good too. You can add them to pretty much anything.

I will say it's much harder to go vegan than it is vegetarian, so much label reading goes into both but vegan stuff doubly so since it seems like everything has egg or milk in it. Good luck, and try not to just eat fake meat the whole time. Being able to cook veggies so they taste good is a skill that is indispensable for any person who makes their own food.

This, so much. It's so overlooked. Not being able to makes picky eaters. Cooking meat is just so easy it feels like cheating.

Gardein 7 grain chicken tenders taste pretty much like chicken tenders just thinner. It's like a healthy chicken nugget. Vegan beef crumbles are very close as well. They make for awesome chili. Tofurky chic'n slow roasted lightly seasoned is as close as you're going to get to real chicken. Light life sausage that comes in a 1 pound tube is extremely close to the breakfast sausage you're used to and very hard to tell any difference in meals. Kroger simple truth brand are also good especially the sausage patties which again are nearly indistinguishable from normal sausage. If you go to an Asian grocer you can get things like smoked or flavored tofu cutlets which are extremely good. Beyond meat sausages and beyond meat beef is also really good. There's plenty of stuff out there that will let you feel like you're cheating the house rules and not go so crazy trying to make over involved meals. I'm writing from the perspective of an Omni with a Vegan wife who doesn't mind the occasional fully Vegan meal.

ok dur but its unintentional and also livestock eats.
And don't talk about grass fed beef because thats literally impossible and everyone knows that can't happen. You are just gonna have to eat coconuts picked by slave monkeys and pesticide sprayed crops. DW its unintentional pesticides. Do it for the cute piggerinos.

Try ghormeh-sabzi, there are tons of recipes out there, and this is just one of them.

-tip, either eat it with a good white bread, or make the rice simple. There is no need for fancy saffron rice or anything like that.

You can purchase dried fenugreek in most middle-eastern stores. Don't go for fresh ones, they're hard to find in most places..

Btw. this dish is traditionally made with lamb, but you can completely avoid the meat and it still tastes wonderful.

I intend to make it tomorrow, and I'll even add celery with the leaves, the green parts of leek and scallion, and some frozen kale.

Since I don't have access to dried limes, I just use the juice of half of a fresh lime. This can be all together avoided, but I like tangy food.


This dish is even good, if you put a tablespoon of tamarind in it, and use salmon instead of beef or lamb.

I'm not a vegan who wants to cleanse the earth of domesticated animals.

Besides, even if we did genocide all domesticated animals we would just redomesticate them again. A human would find an orphaned wild piglet in the woods and bam, pork is back on the menu.

slaughtered a steer at school (agricultural focused). broke down the carcass over several classes. it was fascinating and educational and the steer did not suffer at all. even in the hands of college students, the bolt gun works. the "worst" part for the steer was being rounded up and immobilized, which is the same stuff every animal in captivity goes through when it sees a veterinarian.

only in some circumstances. my college was obviously not a huge factory farming operation. they had a small herd of cattle, tended to by students and school staff.
i will agree that factory farming sucks for a lot of reasons and i would rather have beef (and other meat) prices increase while conditions for animals involved improved.
i get on this stupid hippie soapbox occasionally but well-managed cattle herds on well-managed rangeland is one of the most miraculous and elegant ways we can coexist with our planet. we use land that's best left undeveloped (as we learned during the dust bowl, you can't just plow everything under) and provide for our livestock and for the wildlife they share the space with. when you start looking into the biology of it, cattle and other ungulates are so exquisitely specialized in the way they convert sunlight into meat. it's genuinely incredible. grazing is the way it should be done, period, the end, and if factory farming was taken out of the picture, all major issues regarding the way the animals are treated would go with it.

[Anonymous No.15070307]

>>15070275
Sup farm college anon! I am a newbie homesteader who has plants to convert a conventionally farmed monoculture cropland into regenerative pasture for beef cattle, poultry, and maybe hogs/goats. Now I understand massive feedlots of beef cow are fucking disgusting as I have seen/smelled them first hand, but would you agree that out of all the conventionally raised livestock beef probably have it best simply because they are more likely to spend time outside and start off on pasture while they slowly get weened onto a grain diet?

Don't get me wrong, its all gross, but imo the animal that has it the worst is the chicken (both for eggs and broilers). This is particularly upsetting because per life a bird can only feed a man for maybe a day, and the chickens that lay are pushed to produce way too often and develop serious issues because of that, which I ultimately think makes them less productive in the long run.
What is most fucked up is any jackoff with a backyard could have his own eggs. Someone with a few acres of land can even have a small ethical/free range egg operation and make a bit of extra cash on the side. What are your thoughts?

It's funny, I can't think of a single vegetarian Danish dish, except from Kradser... its basically hot dog without the hot dog, that is sold by hot dog vans lol There is probably egg in the bread, so it cant be vegan..

OP just keep in mind, that with a vegan diet, that you have to heavily focus on getting protein and your main dishes must have "filling" sense to them, so you have to focus on stuff like okra, legume, grains or soy.

For snacks - go with hummus, baba ganoush, green soy beans frozen or fresh (but out of the pods), fava beans, falaffels, nuts, chestnuts, rustic breads, baked hasselback potatoes.

Avoid too much hippie food and meat-alternatives, because they're usually overpriced processed junk.
