Here's my thing about meat: I'll switch away from meat if you make it taste good. It doesn't have to pretend to be meat, as long as it tastes good, that's all I care about. I will still eat the occasional burger or bbq, but if you can find me vegetarian or vegan recipes that make me as happy as bbq does, I'll try it.
I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but occasionally do a diet with my wife that makes us get creative with food. Here's a few things I still eat:
Pad Thai is a good place to start
Oreos are surprisingly vegan
Taco Bell's bean burrito, actually most Mexican food can just replace the meat with refried beans.
Bacon bits are vegan, toss them on some pasta like Cacio e Pepe
Chipotle's chorizo is fake pork sausage, get it in either a bowl or a burrito.
Then the classics:
Okay, I hadn't thought about pad Thai, but I love pad Thai.
I hadn't thought about taco bell since its been a while since I've been there.
How are bacon bits vegan?
I haven't tried Chipotle's chorizo, I'll have to try it out.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Those fake bacon bits that are bright red and crunchy that people put on their salads and such are made from soy. The real stuff that is chewy is def still pork.
