I'm not strict vegan either as I do it for health reasons, but I find as long as I'm a bit selective I have no problems finding some kind of vegan dish to chow down on. Still, I do occasionally have meat and dairy just because that's what they are serving wherever we're going, but my work place is rather considerate when it comes to that stuff. Since I work with almost 100% guys from India, we always go out to some place with one of those options.

But as another guy doing it for health reasons I have no problem having delicious carnitas if we're out for Mexican, knowing I'm only eating like that a few times a year.

Not using meat is fine. Not being able to use fats and sugars and milk is hard.

Meh, the fats part is easy as there's plenty of vegetable fats to work with. I once cooked for a friend who wouldn't eat pork and I had trouble getting that smoky taste that I would usually use bacon drippings for, but I got around that by using a different fat and then using chipotles to get the smoky taste.

What makes it difficult for me is the lack of meat-based stock. Stock is just so critical to the quality of many dishes. Yes, there's veggie stock, which tastes good if properly made, but that doesn't have the texture of a meat-based stock since there's no gelatin in there. And that can be difficult to work around. Veggie stock plus a thickener like starch or roux is nowhere near as good as a meat-based stock.

personally I would brush up on indian food, dahl, rahita, blah blah, all curries can be made without meat dairy and eggs and such.

If she doesnt like spice or heat then give that bitch a carrot, idk.

I'm cool with vegans on the most part, vegetarians are the ones that piss me off

This is the best thread on /ck/ right now.

Clearly 2014 is not going to be any better than the last two here.
