If they contain no elements found in nature they can't contain animal products

That's how you can truly appreciate diet sodas.

I think the most jarring thing is many bacon bits being made out of soy with zero pig at all.

This discovery has completely obliterated any possible health benefits of my veganism 🎈

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Literally. All my favourite biscuits are vegan and I'm a biscuit fiend. Jammy Dodgers, Oreos, Ginger Nuts, Digestives, Hob-nobs. I never stood a chance.

Vegan horseshoe theory:

  • $ = only starch and floor scrapings = vegan
  • $$ = whey in everything
  • $$$ = butter in everything
  • $$$$ = intentional specialty ingredients = vegan

Accidentally Vegan is it's own subgenre of Vegan Food. I have made most of the four dollar sign stuff myself from scratch professionally and can tell you how the switch sausage is made. It's made without that much effort, this shit is super fucking easy to do at home. I've worked in a few Vegan restaurants (wish I could still do so but I get paid more and have clout where I am) and have had time to mess around with some weird ideas. Fundamentally though what people like about meat isn't the taste of meat, have a meat eater chomp down a boiled chicken or whatever without seasoning and see how much they like it. People like the bullshit that is done to meat before they eat it, that's the star of the show, the rest is flavor sponge. So many things can be flavor sponge.

Yeah and a lot of bacon chips are vegan as well. You would not believe the joy one spreads when one tells a Muslim that the bacon chips are halal

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They will sell those same vegan bacon chips at 300% markup if you go to the vegan aisle though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Just get the big bag of the cheapest ones you can find. They're nothing but corn and chemicals - It's as vegan as mouthwash and cough syrup

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A lot of the "bacon bits" in spice containers you can buy for salads are also vegan.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I've been making veggie wraps for work for the past year using some cheapo fakin bits - basically just salty and smoke flavored vegetable protein but sooo good.

I knew a vegan girl whose diet was like 15% oreos and I'm not exaggerating.

I tried making a bunch ofvegan food for her and she didn't like anything lol

vegan looking biscuit

I think you mean cookie.

You see because biscuit refers to a savory bun that is eaten with breakfast, while cookie refers to a small sweet baked good eaten as desert.

Just wanted to correct you, we don't want to sound like Br*tish people do we? england-cool

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (6 children)

A biscuit isn't a bun wtf are you on about? It's name literally means Baked Twice, it's a crisp little thing. Fucking anglo can't even speak your own language that you stole from the french

Sorry I don't take language advice from a group of people who thought naming a city "Liver-pool" was a good idea. That's fucking disgusting bro.

They could be an Aussie or Kiwi. Biscuit for a savory bun is just etymologically inconsistent.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

I don’t know if it was the same for Muslim kids, but Jews of a certain age remember when they took the lard out of Oreos in the 90s and we stopped having to eat the off-brand ones

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's a pretty common vegan line tbh for "See look at all the stuff you can still eat."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

yeah, i recently started veganism and i've basically just sworn of all biscuits because they basically always have milk in them so like, i was really confused when a vegan friend sent me a picture of the deep fried oreo muffin things she'd made

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Deep frying being vegan but coded masculine seems like an attack vector

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I ate nothing but dumplings for like a month and a half one time. Being vegan should never stop you from eating like a trash bag person

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

shoveling Krispy Kreme knockoffs cooked with shortening into your face im-vegan

Oh my god I'm about to demolish so many fucking oreos

Brexit prompted a lot of treat manufacturers in the UK to cut animal byproducts out of their stuff iirc, have to think there's more of that on the way

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That explains why they taste like cardboard.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Plenty of processed crap with animal products tastes terrible too lol. I don’t think the vegan nature makes the difference

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

But they taste fucking terrible

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

I'll keep eating that garbage
