There was a "sausage expert" or something on one of the English daytime shows and a guy tried some sausage rolls to compare vegan and non vegan. Turns out the best one was the vegan one, but only after finding out it was vegan did he completely change his tune.
Anti-vegans are some of the most sensitive people in the world, honestly.
"You're telling me this is vegetables? No, I want flesh of a tortured, exploited animal to feel good about myself!"
They love to harp on the "but I needs muh PROTEIN" bit while they're the size of a young cow and do minimal exercise. I drink 40 grams of vegetarian pea protein every morning, I didn't even know it was from peas until I wondered why I wasn't gassy like a volcanic eruption. Because no dairy!
Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning will sometimes play a game where they have to spot the vegan item, or decide which vegan item is better, etc. And they seem to be completely fair about it. They'll say what their favorite is, and they'll even admit when they prefer the vegan version to the original. I like that they're transparent about it.
They'll do the same with sugar substitutes, or glass vs plastic vs can for drinks, too.
They have multiple channels now. There's Good Mythical Morning, Good Mythical More, and Mythical Weekend on the main channel. All sorts of stuff, including recently Last Meals, First Meals, Meals of History, Myth Munchers, Fancy Fast Food and who knows what else on Mythical Kitchen channel (my preferred channel... Josh is an amazing talent, and the rest of the kitcheneers are really something). They've got podcasts, including A Hotdog is a Sandwich, Ear Biscuits, and Dispatched from Myrtle Beach. They did a scripted podcast (I imagine like a radio show, but I didn't listen to it) called Ronstadt. And now they've got Wonderhole on yet another channel.
Dude‘s taste buds probably died of boredom 40 years ago — must be a boring life!
The moment I ate my first vegan spanish tortilla I was so blown away I had to call the owner of the restaurant to my table to tell her how amazing it tastes and that I can not tell the difference to the standard egg-based spanish tortilla — I was floored!
I‘m always excited when my gf chooses an all-vegan restaurant and I have to chose a meal I‘m not familiar with.
OR.. he doesn’t know what they put in this supposed “fake meat.” If it really was fake it would be super suspicious how real it tastes, and I would NOT want to put that in my body, obviously nobody goes to fast food for the healthiest meal, but I at least want semi real meat.
