Oh hey another food thread...

PotU

They are my top tier.

All I can say is:



Delicious.

It's too bad for the vegans that just because they won't eat meat or even eggs or honey, that's on the supermarket shelves that either gets bought or rots,

I will.

They won't stop producing it, because Famer John isn't going to go "Hmm, I bet some of those hip and trendy twenty-somethings aren't going to be eating this stuff anymore! Better scale back production!"

and meanwhile corporations like Whole Foods are raping these idiots right in the ass with $20 jars of organic vegan gluten/dairy-free peanut butter that looks like motor oil and jungle rot together

yes, no hyperbole. $20

Farmer John however would change his production if there was enough market for it to be economically viable for him.

Farmer John is all about the cash you see.

ZeroFill

yeah but .0001% of the population doesn't exactly hold much buying power, now do they

this is like the people who buy tree plantings to reduce their "carbon footprint"
it is an ineffectual change so that you can feel better about yourself, or alternatively better than other people

Druhim

god shut up Zero, we get it

you're so fucking smart because you eat meat and they're so fucking dumb because they don't
boy you sure pwned them!

Killjoy

Why are you so on edge?

Centipede Damascus

My dad has abandoned meat and anything else that isn't non-fat as basically a scorched-earth strategy against his high cholesterol.

So, not all vegans are tools.

Druhim

you obviously don't know me

see, I'm a really nice guy to people that aren't retarded

beating the dead horse of a joke about how stupid vegetarians are is retarded and I'm going to say so

The Far Side

(this applies to both sides here)

Butters

I hate fake meat because it generally smells like ass. Gardenburgers are fucking foul.

faux-meat is fucking disgusting

the last time i consumed meat substitute made by Morningstar i ended up with severe diarrhea and a stomachache that lasted the entire day

Butters

Well I don't care for the taste at all either but the awful smell justifies my prejudice against those that do like it.

Not all soy burgers are bad but gardenburgers smell like death right after being heated up.

CrossBuster

I like veggie-burgers just fine, as long as they don't try to taste like meat.

They can be absolutely delicious if they actually taste like the things they're made from.

FreddyD

I just cooked my own steak for the first time, and I it made me realize that the only thing restaurants do to steak is fuck it up.

not if you go to a good restaurant, but yeah if you someplace like Outback or cheaper then it's probably not going to be that good of a steak

HoChiWaWa

A guy on SA's food forum makes veggie burgers using black beans and a bunch of grains that actually sound tasty, there is nothing wrong with a burger substitute, just don't expect it to taste like beef.

Puscifer

Yea, I've had some really good veggie burgers before. Combination of black beans, spinach and some various grains. Shit was the bees knees.

HoChiWaWa

Its no 1/3 lb burger with bleu cheese and bacon though, thats for sure.

Tonkka

I had a guy order a Gardenburger with bacon a couple of weeks ago.

I delivered with the statement: "I have a Gardenburger for a conflicted vegetarian."

He said he wasn't a veggie, he just liked the way it tasted.

Framling

FUCKING NEWS FLASH:

FAKE MEAT NOT IDENTICAL TO REAL MEAT.

MORE UPDATES TO COME AS THE STORY DEVELOPS.

Fram, you are so angry. Would you like a massage?

get over yourself

you don't like me so you basically troll me whenever you happen upon a post of mine

not just me exclusively of course, I'm not that special

and no, you're not a very nice guy here. You're a douche. You can call me retarded all you want, but your actions speak for themselves.

ZeroFill

I have a friend who has Celiac's and a friend who is a vegan, so out of politeness I will often be eating the same diet they are.

I could eliminate meat from my diet if I had to, for health reasons. There are plenty of non-animal based foods that I really enjoy and could use as staples. But I wouldn't bother with fake meat. I have had a black bean burger before though that was not that bad at all.

I just don't agree with the idealistic views behind the whole vegan thing. If you care that much, find a way to make a real difference.

To be fair, 0, you were being pretty much a dumb asshole.

Soggybiscuit

mully

i rarely eat meat
last night i ate roast beef
i am in so much pain right now

STATE OF THE ART ROBOT

I just had a leftover taco from Taco Bell. It was not very satisfying

Framling

Man, being a vegetarian can be pretty fucking annoying.

On the one hand, you've got dumb assholes all making the same bad jokes and bad arguments.

And then on the other side, you've got the other assholes complaining that they can't find any nannies that will agree to not microwave their lunch in your microwave if it has meat in it, or that only eat organically certified, fair trade, single-origin peanut butter.

I don't want to identify myself in terms of my diet. I don't want to be in a club. I just want to not eat meat.

then stop calling yourself "vegetarian"

start calling yourself "picky"

STATE OF THE ART ROBOT

Just make up some bullshit story about how you were genetically mutated by a drum of toxic waste and you are not able to handle meat in your system.

mully

i am beginning to think of advertising myself as a vegetarian just so people wont make me eat roast beef or steak or whatever. augh.

Soup

Candy corn is fucking delicious, but it makes me so sick.

Do you honestly turn down nannies who want to microwave their meat in your microwave?

Why not buy a cheaper, "meat" microwave for said nannies if you're going to be so picky as to tell them what they can and cannot cook in your microwave?

A new microwave is like $90

Also, what effect does the microwaving of meat in your microwave have on your non-meat meals in the microwave?

STATE OF THE ART ROBOT

$90? I picked up mine for $30. It is not bad either.
