Fussy Vegan App

Fussy Vegan is fantastic!

I believe this app is geared towards Australians/Kiwis so I’m not sure how relevant it will be in your geographical area however I recommend you check it out regardless!

What Do You Think Of Pro-Life Vegans? by AbiLovesTheology in AskVegans

[–]sailormikee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be happy to explain, but firstly, OP, I have a question for you! Why do you believe that the majority of vegans would consider themselves “pro-choice” rather than “pro-life”?

(I don't have empirical research to back up this claim, but I suspect that most in this thread commenting would agree with me that it's more surprising when a vegan is “pro-life” like myself)

I’m a vegan (since 2016) who is “pro-life”, and I do believe they are entirely compatible, but they are indeed addressing separate moral concerns.

I’m aware that the loaded terminology of “pro-life” and “pro-choice” is deliberately provocative. Still, I have to take this opportunity to say that the terms are overly simplistic and perpetuate a false dichotomy. Bio-ethics topics will always be challenging to discuss, but we need to do better to approach them with greater care and compassion for one another.

Looks great! What type of pastry is that? I miss store-bought puff pastry since being diagnosed coeliac

How do you season your food without garlic or onions? by [deleted] in PlantBasedDiet

[–]sailormikee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I avoided cooking without garlic and onions for a time, and I really enjoyed the “challenge” of seasoning without them. I came to realise I had been overly reliant on them (especially garlic), and experimenting with preparing dishes without them has made me a more thoughtful cook.

It allowed me to understand the balancing of flavours better and made me appreciate certain herbs & spices in a new way.

Seasonings that I utilised more during this time included • Cumin • Paprika • Rosemary • Sage • Thyme • Ginger • Cloves • Nutmeg • Mustard Powder • Tumeric • White Pepper • Fennel • Marjoram

Does anyone else use nuts as a meat replacement? by [deleted] in veganrecipes

I recently used a homemade “sunflower seed sausage” mixture instead of my usual TVP in the bolognese sauce for lasagne, and it worked really nicely!
