hey
any really yummy vegan recipes i dont have to spend all day making, or get a loan out to buy the ingredients?
ps. i live in a very small town in england, we have a holland and barret, but the nearest bok choi is about 20 miles away, so i cant use unusual stuffs :(

[Anonymous No.3718609]

Don't look for "vegan" recipes, look instead for recipes that just happen to be vegan. Otherwise you'll eat something that wasn't fully focused on the taste, but on making a vegan version of something else.

Take a look at the asian kitchen.

A lot of Middle Eastern foods contain no meat. Try looking into that.

[Anonymous No.3718629]

thanks for the advise :)
middle eastern food i have never tried, will have to look into it :)

[Anonymous No.3718653]

I know people often say that recipes that happen to be vegan and focus on vegetables and don't try to copy meat dishes are better, but this isn't always the case!

Some of the best vegan food I've ever had is meat dish copycats.

It's easy to make cheap delicious vegan chili with a can of kidney beans, your choice of vegetables, tomatos, vegetable broth, a huge $5 bag of dried TVP soy crumbles, and a bag of Daiya cheddar cheese if you like to sprinkle a bit of cheese on top. The whole recipe costs me about $10 and makes a huge volume of chili, with plenty of ingredients left over for a future batch.

I also love to make eggplant meatballs and serve them on a whole wheat bun with marinara sauce. Just use the same seasoning you'd use when making animal meatballs. Delicious and easy. People tell me that they're better than real meatballs!


Portabello mushrooms crumbled with extra firm tofu and formed into patties tastes awesome. I pan fry the patties in a bit of olive oil and serve them on sourdough with homemade coconut milk thousand island dressing, tomato, and lettuce.

>/ck/ vegan thread
Troll thread.

Where do you make the distinction between which animal products you don't use? Once you get into the territory of eggs and milk (non-meat products), where do you stop? Why stop at what you eat? I think you'll find virtually everything has animal by-products in it.

Including the computer you're using, right now.

No, because, as I said before, I hunt and fish constantly.

I live in Canada and hunt moose, deet, rabbit/hare, grouse, and live in a region with ~100,000 lakes. There is also an incredible amount of Crown (=public) Land, which means I'm not stuck inside some park.

So no, not jelly at all.

Veal is a by-product of the milk industry. Diary cows are in a constant cycle of being pregnant and giving birth in order to produce enough milk. 3/4 of the calves are are made into veal shortly after being born.

>2. Being a well-rounded vegan is the most healthy diet for an average bodied adult.

bullshit, having a well rounded diet in the first place is the most healthy diet for an average bodied adult. and the most natural, because you don't have to rely on supplements or enriched foods (how's that vitamin B12 injected bread doing for you, vegan cunt? i thought so.)

there should be enough b12 in soymilk or other vegan products so you don't have to take a pill. However it's debated if that's really as effective. And I really think a diet with fish and some light meat is the healthiest choice while being easy to maintain. But that probably doesn't matter since nobody would pay THAT much attention to get the perfect diet.

probably that they still "use" animals, they oppress and cage them and local farmers usually aren't like the storybook farmers you imagine. They are normal farmers.

>what's wrong with rescued eggs?
One might think that it's wrong to take anything from an animal.
However most vegans probably wouldn't have a problems with eating those eggs (at least morally)

most eggs, dairy, and meat come from factory farms. like, almost all of it. Veganism shouldnt be an "ideology" that one can argue for or against. I'm arguing for animal rights. If you want to eat meat that's humanely raised, be my guest. If you want to eat meat that is full of antibiotics and waste byproducts, go right ahead. All I'm saying is that I like to be healthy and feel good. Eating vegan achieves both for me. If I could afford high-quality meat and dairy, I might go back to eating it, but seeing how right now I don't feel any need to, I think I'll stay vegan. I don't know why you're trying so hard to get me angry.

Also, there are several people making vegan arguments, so don't respond to me as if I am everyone else as well.

Humans, as a rule of thumb, don't like to be in large social environments, like the hives and arcologies of NYC or LA. Massive buildings filled to bursting with corporate drones, buzzing in and out to go to work, then to play, then to sleep. Consuming corporate food, corporate entertainment, socializing only with corporate people.
Vegans are just one among many movements in which people are rebelling against that lifestyle. Veganism is one of the more laughable ones since a healthy human is an omnivore. Though the goal is admirable, as a lifestyle it requires that you to jump through so many labor-inducing hoops as to be cumbersome.

Vegans don`t eat eggs from "local farmers", whatever that means by the way, we have some big chicken farms here totally local bitch, because they can not be sure that the chicken has the right living conditions, producing 1 egg a day is not normal for a chicken, it lives much shorter because of that, so there are no "normal" eggs.

Anything you would cook that has meat involved, but without the meat.

chili, curry, etc.
Ratatouille is AWESOME and pretty vegan, you can use it as a spaghetti sauce or eat it by itself.
you can make a lot of good vegetable soups without meat.
oven-roasted vegetables
Salads
Potato-salad
Baked potatoes
Hasselbach potatoes.

Bake some kind of vegan bread.
Make a shitton of different vegetable toppings and dippings.
- Pinjur (Garlic / eggplant)
- Baba Ganoush (More eggplant, with different seasonings)
- Hummus (Chickpeas and stuff)
- Ajvar (Bell peppers, chilies, tomatoes, eggplant)
There are probably more that I don't remember, help me out /ck/

And honestly, even if you aren't vegan, community gardens are a great thing, especially in the city. They supplied me with fresh veg throughout school. If you learn to pickle, you'll be enjoying them for a while, too. Fuck it, here's a spicy dill recipe:

12 3 to 4 inch long pickling cucumbers
2 cups water
1 3/4 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh dill weed
1/2 cup white sugar
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 1/2 teaspoons dill seed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
4 sprigs fresh dill weed

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, water, vinegar, chopped dill, sugar, garlic, salt, pickling spice, dill seed, and red pepper flakes. Stir, and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Remove the cucumbers to three 1 1/2 pint wide mouth jars, placing 4 cucumbers into each jar. Ladle in the liquid from the bowl to cover. Place a sprig of fresh dill into each jar, and seal with lids. Refrigerate for 10 days before eating. Use within 1 month.

Super easy, super cheap, and really tasty.
