Vegetarian and Vegan Passion

[Dion]

Okay all you fellow hippies, check in here. Share recipes and other BS, tree-hugger stuff - ethical cycling gear (non-skin) perhaps?

By the way, do I still get to be part of the club if I'm a strict vegetarian (for ethical reasons) yet have a gun collection and a proud member of the NRA?

[linadog]

No. NRA membership voids all treehugging ties

I have a lot of respect for vegans. Along with a lot of pity.

[PVR]

I like vegans - taste sort of like chicken.

How did I know more meat eaters would chime in than vegetarians?

[Hawg]

I eat the meat of vegetarian animals...

Semi serious question...What is the point of Tofurkey? If a vegetarian won't eat turkey for any number of reasons, why do they want their tofu to taste like it?

[Jayem]

Bacon

Wife's a vegetarian. I love making Tofu curry... cut firm tofu into 1/2" squares and fry in olive oil. Then mix with veggies, curry powder, cayenne, garlic, and coconut milk. (And whatever I forgot to list). Serve over freshly made jasmine rice.

Tip as well: We just discovered how awesome the Go Lean sausage in the produce section tastes. Especially if you add a little Cayenne, cumin, and curry powder.

I still eat meat, and there is nothing in the world I like better than beef. But I also really like a lot of vegetarian foods. Friggin Tempeh burgers brushed with Sriracha sauce and grilled... heaven on a plate.

It doesn't. If you think a fake meat or cheese substitue tastes exactly like the real thing, you've been vegi/vegan for too long.

When the revolution comes, you'll have to defend your tofu somehow.

That does sound awesome.


(note: vegetarian for 14 yrs, mostly vegan for 4)

Gee, we feed the baby bacon formula, wash in bacon soap.....what kind of life is there without bacon???

[simpterfex]

Did you know some bacon bits are vegan!

[mikeb]

At my house the Indian word for vegetarian is " Poor Hunter " We eat lots of elk. Makes you faster on these loooong rides.

[mikeb]

tg, that is some imagery. carcasses and bikes. wow.

i'm marinating a steak as i type.

[Dion]

Well, my thread went to sh*t.

I have no problems with hunters who eat what they kill. Like I said, I'm a proud NRA member and a conservative leaning.

tg, that is some imagery. carcasses and bikes. wow. Two of my very favorite things.......hunting elk and riding bikes.

I do a lot of scouting from the bike.

I am Vegi, i still eat fish however, so Pesco-Vegi is the proper term.

I love it, i feel great, it solved some issues i had while eating meat, it uses less resources and can support larger populations, and i still go out and do 260 mile rides.

[Ebo]

Dharma's in Capitola ... excellent eats after a good ride. Decent beer on tap too.

I laugh at that too. I always wonder why vegi meats are made to look at taste like real ones. it could go the other way.

I have had this business idea for a while. Why not a pure a carnivorian diet?

--Faux lettuce made from thinly sliced prosciutto colored green like lettuce.
--Beef heart made into tomatoes
--Compressed pulled pork "tatertots"
--Kidney "chunks" beans
--Filet minon made into.....what? filet minon of course. Need a balance diet her ya know.

Lets make our vegitables be meat so we can have a pure meat diet. Why should the vegetarians have it all? We can too.
