Topic: So I'm going vegan.

Hodor.

Don't ever believe a potato. Lying little bastards turned on the Irish, and even though they claim to be vegetables, you always see them hanging out with meat.

It's Eggplants we should be worried about. With their holier-than-thou attitude, "Aubergines" are the Devil's fruit!

Thankfully, you won't ever be as vegan as this guy.

That guy is going places.

They're trying to make brocolli the new kale. As outlandish as these marketing campaigns seem, I actually hope this goes well and shifts food culture, if even slightly, towards vegetables.

I've learned to like broccoli.  I now prefer it over other veggies, like spinach.

Any vegetable you don't like can be made delicious by using it in a curry. But if you don't like curry then there's no hope for you.

This. So this.

I have no opinion on that article just because it was too long and I don't have time to read it. Who's paying them to advertise? I kept looking for it and not finding it, but I can't imagine who would have the money to sponsor that ad campaign unless it's some horrendous company like Bayer or Monsanto.

I love broccoli, though. If you don't overcook it and put just a little mayo on it (or in my case vegenaise, which tastes basically exactly like mayo), it's bloody wonderful. Even the stalks are good, especially in stir fries and such.

I love curry.  I know it's all vegetable matter too.  I'm down to only a few things I can't stand: beets, cauliflower and lima beans.  I can eat every other veggie I can think of right now.

That does sound yummy, Que.

With great curry comes great responsibility.

Haha.

I'd say I'm around 80-90% veggies right now. At least from looking at the dinner plate each night. I was never a huge meat eater, but after having relatives over recently who demanded meat every night I can't stand looking at anything red right now.

[Quemaqua]

Haha, wow. That guy had some moves.

Also, I was considering getting curry on the way home and now I really wish I had. We've got this Asian place with the best vegan curries, and they have vegan eggrolls too. We gorge ourselves there whenever we go.
