heiding, how do you go with the taste? I've eaten vegan on numerous occasions, often made for me by long-time vegans (how on earth they had the strength to pick up a knife and fork was beyond me ) and the food was always really bland.
I was also a vegetrendian for a while years ago (my gf at the time was a veggie, so that pretty meant I was a veggie, since we lived together) and we managed to make quite delicious food pretty much all the time.
haha at vegetrendian - the latest I've heard is 'flexiterian' which is like mostly vegetarian apart from when they felt like eating meat
I have no problem with making tasty food - i agree a lot of people/restaurants make bad vegan food, but its just food without the animal bits and very easy to make it nice if you can cook. Thai, Indian, Japanese, Morrocan food have great dishes that happen to be vegan, and I make mexican a fair bit (my favourite is chilli with guacamole and salsa made from red onion, garlic, tomato, garlic, lemon, coriander and olive oil *drool*). I do use a lot of herbs and spices, and experiment a bit. I had a dinner party last week with that stuff as well as a bunch of other things, and they chowed down like nobodies business - none of them veggos, but they loved it
Since the kids 'turned' we've never eaten so well, once we'd worked out to stop eating every potato that rolled by . I think its far far healthier than a normal diet - and I am not a vegan as I said, when I go out to eat I sometimes have seafood, and because I don't have it very often, I really appreciate it when I do.
