Tastes Just Like Chicken

One of my pet peeves is when people claim that something their eating claims to taste just like something else.

“This veggie burger tastes just like a real burger!”

No. No it doesn’t.

First of all, the person you say that to is going to find out pretty damn fast it’s a lie. And then where’s your credibility? Shot.

I tell anyone who chooses to eat a vegan dish, try not to think about the meal it may be mimicking. Instead, try to just close your eyes and taste the dish, decide whether or not you like it.

It’s funny how people assume if you eat a vegan diet that you have such limited options. Or maybe that’s just the way I used to think. But it’s really amazing how a whole new world of food opens up to you when you think outside the box. If you’re reading this and not on a vegan diet, I’m curious to know the last time you ate nutritional yeast, flax meal, chia seeds, cashew cheese, or even kale.

When you let go and just taste, you’d be surprised at how tasty vegan food is!
