I have no clue what your food tastes like. Sometimes my burgers end up as taco’s, in salads, pasta dishes, just like you make. I don’t use any fake foods like frozen vegan sausage, premade vegan burgers, etc. I eat real foods just like you do just not meat. What you make with meat I can make with a variety of beans and veggies.
Well said. I am not vegan but I cook for vegan family members. I have learned how to adjust my cooking habits to accommodate both lifestyles. It is a little more work but bottom line, I do it because I care and respect each of my family members. Sometimes, I do make a dish for the whole family, and I might cheat and use some fake foods because my non-vegan family members want their meals to taste like there is meat or cheese in it.
