Vegan really isn't very complicated, and really, that's the point.  I think a better, less-stigmatized term for the same thing is "plant-based diet."  The latter term is also self-descriptive, and it's a good way to think about preparing foods for vegans to eat.  If it is made from or derived from animals or animal products, don't use it to prepare your food.  This includes eggs, milk (and cheese, by extension) and fish (fish are not plants).  There are plenty of great foods you can prepare using only fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, herbs, spices, etc.

Using animal protein as a primary player in your diet tends to leave your body in an overly acidic state and leads to chronic inflammatory conditions.
Isn't there a thread bashing vaccines somewhere you can go troll with your pseudoscience?

Hey man, it's not my fault that you worship at the altar of Big Meat.
Yeah, well you're a rough ridin' idiot.

Not really sure what you're trying to compensate for, but an obsession with Big Meat surely is not the answer.

really a chef's knife is designed to take away the difficulty of prepping for long periods of time, hence the added weight and the typical length of the blade. for most people, they aren't cutting or prepping for more than half an hour to an hour at a time, so this benefit doesn't do much for them. a chef's knife can also be more readily used for breaking down certain cuts of meat, or crushing (think nuts or hard chocolates) than a santoku knife, but a sharp santoku can otherwise handle most other things just as well, if not better (ex: veggies), than chef's knives and won't feel like you are wielding a rough ridin' sword in the kitchen. supertramp has the right idea with the santoku, paring, and serated blade for most kitchen set ups. a good fillet knife is also important if you cook a lot of fish. skinning is one of those jobs that is super tough to do without the proper blade, but it can be done.

I once filet'd half these crappie with a REGULAR STEAK KNIFE while our bro #harripants #1440 #bighead used my filet knife to clean the other half.




It. Sucked. So. Bad.

My hand cramped up and I ended up butchering half the filets :-/

Whoever suggested doing vegan one or two days a week...that's not vegan.  Vegan is a lifestyle. All day err day kinda deal.

Back to no carbs. One of my go-to's is a meatball salad. Spinach, a couple of meatballs, mozzarella, red pepper flakes and olive oil.

Hey there, Cat Fans. (Mainly @asava and @AST.) Always nice to be posting in a thread started by fff.

Two items to throw out there. When responding, take into account that my cooking skills/adventurousness are much more asava than TTHOTUC*.

1) The WonderMeals are having a bunch of people over for Easter, including several vegans. (No hur hur hur jokes, please.) We'd like to cook something for them that is both delicious and also real food (no "vegan ham" or whatever). Throw out your best vegan recipes ITT!

2) I have made this year The Year of Chipotle Peppers in the WM house. Put your best recipes for featuring chipotle right here.

*No offense, TTHOTUC. Your Hot Pockets sound outstanding.

you could do a good quinoa dish; kind of an enchilada bake thing...make enchilada sauce with veg stock rather than chicken, use black beans, some of your peppers and get some fake cheese...boom yum.  a mexican themed easter might be a bit out there, but I'd go all in with guac (like others suggested) and chips, salsa, tortillas (i'm sure they make those vegan).

For a non-mexican dish you could use quinoa as a base, and saute a variety of mushrooms olive oil (with maybe shallots and garlic), season it all up and bake? Serve with good bread, this could be a main for your vegan guests and a side for the rest.
