    Let’s see the cost difference here as well.

    Vegan is expensive AF if I’m expected to like for like replace normal with vegan (ie. Vegan cheese)

    I lean vegetarian because fuck living without eggs, butter and cheese lol

    Personally speaking I’d do a vegetarian thanksgiving without tofurky. People try to hard to replicate meat. Just accept no meat and be done with it. It’s so much better.

    For the record I’m doing a turkwy for Christmas and it will be delicious lol

      Yes, meat actually has a very limited flavour palette itself and you can get great variety without it. When I first when veg the “meat” was seriously ass, too. At this point if you’re socially in a burger situation there’s actual options.

      Butter can be subbed out pretty easy and cheaply, to my taste buds, though. The wonders of vegetable oil hydrogenation and diacetyl.
