TLDR: I am looking for more diverse non-meat options than your average restaurant or supermarket provides. Because they don’t quite work for me as well as I’d like.
I am not a picky eater, I enjoy vegan food and non-vegan food alike. I’ve noticed most “vegan” advertised products are just meat imitations that taste like seasoned cardboard.
Too darn often do I see cooks and stores trying to replace the visuals of meat, rather than finding something that tastes satisfying in it’s own way. I’d be eating more vegan food if the options available had a similar convenience and filled me up properly.
Which may sound stupid, but I’ve tried going vegan and I did not feel great. I guess beans and tofu are not for me. Now I realise I may sound like an uninformed dingus who doesn’t know how to find decent ingredients and recipes… That’s because I am.
But I would really like to find some options that work for me. And I’m fine with trying 20 things over the course of a month and deciding only a few work for me.
Does anyone here have any advice?
Indian food. I’m not a veg-head, but I’ll inhale any Indian food within seven or more miles
Quite the opposite of indian food, sorry. But it did give me the idea to ask some colleagues from abroad for tips. And we ended up really liking recipes from Surinam. Bonus: those recipes were pretty easy once I got the hang of it.
I ended up having a lot of chips like things as snacks. I forgot the name of them. Also I just realised, we have a new colleague from India! I might just try your suggestion after all, soon ish
And I do like the taste of it. I have a colleague who’s from there. I think I might ask for more recommendations
