Good on yer nags, just replace everything with beans is the way, beans are fucking dope.

Yeah I mean, beans on toast is vegan. Is there a more compelling argument than that?

I do love beans. Had some very nice black eyed beans at an Indian place this week. Chickpeas can piss off though, dry little bastards.

I think it's because they don't have a face, not because they're stupid.

No it isn't, people and animals are total arseholes and we're better off destroying them.

I'm pretty much a vegetarian thanks to diabetes, bar eating chicken, but chickens are right cunts so I don't feel guilty.

Yeah I am looking forward to when veganism is normalised a bit more to the point where the specialist products aren't batshit expensive. £5 for a jar of vegan mayo, nah you're alright I'll just not eat it.

That's the thing, it IS normalised. Morrisons does home brand tinned jackfruit, fake mince, instant curries. The trick is to find vegan stuff in the normal isles rather than in the posh wanker health section.

alan nagsworth

Yeah jackfruit's shit though so it doesn't count ;P

If you get into buying dried pulses the cheapness is amazing. Helps if you have a pressure cooker to avoid all the soaking. Essentially 6 tins of beans/lentils for just over a quid. Also if you like the fake meat, making your own seitan is easy, cheap, lasts for ages and is pretty meat ish.

I LOVE the idea of veganism besides the not-eating meat schtick.

alan nagsworth

Meat shticks are mostly lips and assholes though I hope you realise

Someone recommended seitan, I looked it up and fuck me you have to buy the wheat gluten and make it yourself*! I mean for fuck sake cooking's complicated enough as it is, chicken may be cruel but at least I don't have to build the cunting things.

*my research consisted of approximately 1 google so I may be mistaken about this if so feel free to correct me

Yes, it's like making bread but rubbish. What is point.

My first attempt at coconut bread was pretty good, btw. Could have done with a bit of honey and a bit less liquid, but I'm pretty chuffed with it. Would be nice with some raspberry or black cherry jam. Or toasted with a bit of butter...

"Is honey vegan?" is a whole other can of werms...

idunnosomename

i'm going super-seitan

are you ready for a challenngggggeeeEEE

bgmnts

Honey isn't vegan really. I think vegans have to draw the line somewhere otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat anything at all as most of it leads to destruction of habitats.

Blue Jam

Most orchards have beehives though, so honey is technically a by-product of fruit production, and the bees don't get hurt.

I've also heard of vegans keeping chickens and eating their eggs, that's another grey area, more like keeping pets, but some vegans draw the line at keeping pets...

bgmnts

Honey industry is very dodgy though, manipulating the bees natural behaviours and their hives to maximise production and profit.

I personally am okay eating an egg from a random hen somebody has but i'd obviously never eat farmed eggs.

Pets are probably a bit more justifiable in the sense of if I didn't own one and give it the best life I could it could easily be with an ignorant or abusive owner.

That was me. I make my own when i can be arsed, you can buy it pre-made as well though, i've never bothered plus is probably expensive rather than cheap as fuck.

I only make it occasionally but you can make maybe 8 steaks or 12 chicken breasts worth in about 30 minutes, and you can freeze it.
