Wrong. The fake meat in the top portion is overprocessed and tastes like garbage instead of delicious meat, while the bottom portion is 100% delicious vegan food.

Edit: downvotes from people who hate vegan food, I guess.

Depends on the brand IMO. I actually really like Impossible Meat; to me it tastes like decent quality beef with some really good hard to place seasoning. If it wasn't so damn expensive I'd get it over actual ground beef.

SpaceNoodle,

It’s still overpriced and overprocessed. Ridiculous sodium levels as well.

Lemmling,

Yeah all Indians are vegetarians and look exactly like this /s

shiveyarbles,

And they’re always doing the needful

Lemmling,

LOL 🤣

SomeNerd,

The same way that all americans eat nothing but meat, and are white, sparsely bearded dudes. /s

computerscientistI,

Indian food most often is vegetarian but definitely not vegan, in my experience. Also: It often seems to be colorful mud. Some parts of the dishes tend to be way too hot.

sooper_dooper_roofer,

It’s not most often vegetarian either, it just has more vegetarians than other continents

about 25% of the population is vegetarian

The secret is that meat on its own is garbage. Instead of using plants to make meat taste good (teriyaki, buffalo sauce, nearly a dozen herbs and spices, etc.), you can just use those plants to make plants taste good

Jlafs,

That’s a bit of a stretch. Meat + salt rarely disappoints me

wombat,

usians cannot imagine consuming a treat that does not involve murder. They will literally pay a premium and spend billions in R&D to get non-murder treats to taste more like murder.

hiddengoat,

Holy shit, there are still dinks out there that are trying to make "USian" a thing? I thought all of you nad-nudgers died of with kuro5hin.

Kanda,

Clearly it should be Americunts

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

You people just make shit up at this point 🤷‍♂️

The US has some of the best food in the planet.

misterwu,

Im not sure if you’re trolling or if you’re american and serious.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

100% serious. On the average our grocery stores are better with far more access to food choices. I can pick out essentially any type of fruit or veggie year round and have access to fresh food from across the planet.

Not your thing? Well, I’m my small city (.5mil) I have access to 3 farmers markets which will get me fresh local veggies and meat.

Y’all are on crack if you think you have access to better food in the EU or Asia.

You’ll find that 95% of towns in the US will have access to fantastic food year round.

Not a vegan, but a vegetarian. This is why I love Indian food. When food is made from the beginning to not include meat products, it doesn’t feel like it’s ‘missing’ anything.

toxicbubble420,

and they’re both delicious, nothing wrong here except animal exploitation

MJBrune,

I’ve are fried rice with eggs for protein all week. It’s been great. It’s vegetarian but not vegan.

Gorillatactics,

If I can’t recreate it in my kitchen with a food processor and a pestle and mortar its too complicated and im not eating it.

hiddengoat,

American food mentality.

KaiReeve,

I mean, isn’t all Indian food overspiced? You could probably make curry out of just about any meat or meat substitute and it will still taste like spices.

American food has a higher focus on meat flavor, which is why so many meat alternatives try to imitate meat. You can buy vegan Indian or Chinese food here that tastes decent, but it’s not a steak.

emergencyfood,

Depends which part of India you mean. Telegu food is often very spicy. Bengali and Gujarati food is actually mostly sweet. Himalayan food is 99% bland and 1% volcano hot.

cyclohexane,

Overspiced? Not really.

Dimok,

Overspiced!? Umm…no. No it is not.

Hegar,

isn’t all Indian food overspiced

Nope. So much nope that I'm curious if maybe you understand over spiced to mean something different.

MossyFeathers,

I mean, isn’t all Indian food overspiced?

Only if you’re British. But if you’re British then using basic salt and pepper is sometimes considered “over spiced”.

Imagine conquering the world for spices and then you don’t use them in your own cuisine.

KpntAutismus, (edited )

we ate burgers with i think corn-based patties once. actually tasted better than a burger imo. definetely a carnivore, but the vegans sure have some dope alternatives.

edit: omnivore would be more correct

Omgarm,

Nutella is vegan.

zakobjoa,
@zakobjoa@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not, though?

EmpathicVagrant,

I mean . . . is it or not, because your punctuation confuses the matter.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

The question mark denotes confusion or flabbergastedness. Nutella contains milk, so it’s explicitly not vegan

Neato,
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

They were referring to the comma. Commonly used with a verbal pause. So like: "It's not...though?" As if the "though?" was its own thought and the only part of the sentence that had the question inflection.

dogslayeggs,

That’s the point. Indian food is rarely vegan.

bloubz,

Dotworlders are so weird

yukichigai,
@yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

Jello is not vegan.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s oreos you’re thinking of

glitchinthematrix,

I mean have you all seen the videos in tiktok about the zero hygiene they have in the street food places while preparing the food, oh my…
