 Lunch. Burnt toast with crunchy peanut butter, chopped green olives, French's mustard. I took a few bites before I remembered goons would be appalled. I eat this when I'm unhappy with my sodium levels. It has made two people wretch. e: retch. Though one of them was indeed a wretch, I didn't do it. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 23:23 on Mar 4, 2021 |

There's a big black spot under the peanut butter because I need a new toaster. The rest is a respectable golden brown.

I wonder how many of the people mad about vegan ribs not being literal ribs have turned their ire on the McRib?

The closest I could find was "seasoned boneless pork dipped in a tangy BBQ sauce". Nobody cares if you give your faux food a cute sounding name, but calling it something it is not should not be acceptable labeling. AreWeDrunkYet has a new favorite as of 23:33 on Mar 4, 2021 |

I would argue that both the prefix "Mc*" and the adjective "vegan" do a pretty good job of informing you that the item is not, in fact, meat from the ribs of an animal *apologies to the gaelic peoples of the british isles for adopting your language for our fast food

They're a stopgap because sometimes you're craving the thing but you have moral or religious or environmental or whatever reasons for not eating it, so you eat the poor substitute. We get it. You don't have to try and own us. I'll admit, sometimes I'll have a lovely frozen veggie burger because, when combined with the bun and cheese and toppings and all that, it's fine enough to hit that craving. I know it's not equivalent to a real beef burger. The crap patty is just good enough when combined with the rest of the burger components. Also if someone gets drunk and eats chicken wings or whatever, you can just shrug and move on instead of having to point out the hypocritical idiot vegan.

"ribs" in particular are weird. like you said, if you had a religious or moral objection to eating meat, why would you call your vegan substitute the same thing you're trying to get away from? ribs are full of greasy delicious carcinogenic fat and muscle. it's the opposite of vegan *shrug*

Because you probably have eaten meat before and aren't pretending that it doesn't taste good Particularly with poo poo like burgers and dogs and ribs where there's a huge component of the overall flavour that isn't coming from the meat

In college in the 90s there was a posted flyer for some event that mentioned there would be food provided including options for "vegetarians and vegans". I thought it was a joke about people from Vega

There's the meat 'replacement' aspect that some people seem to get upset about, but I think the much more common usage of terms like 'sausage', 'burger' and 'steak', and the vegan rib in this case, is just to describe the general shape and intended preparation of the dish. I was vegetarian for the first 20 or so years of my life and I never once thought that a veggie burger was intending to be a facsimile of beef or anything, merely it was just a round shaped thing that could be grilled and served with all the other burger accoutrements. Ditto everything else, which is why it really grinds my gears that in the EU at the moment the meat and dairy industry (presumably worried about the fast growing vegan/vegetarian market) are trying (very successfully) to ban them from using any of those terms if the content isn't explicitly animal derived, which is loving stupid imo, especially as traditional sausages exist that have never been made from meat. I think manufacturers of non-dairy alternatives haven't been allowed to call themselves 'oat milk' or 'vegan cheese' for a few years, which is one level that you could argue either way (again I'd point out the existence of coconut milk and how no-one seems to get upset about that, because they understand that customers are able to read words and differentiate meanings from them), but now they're going even further and pushing for a ban on any kind of descriptors such as 'yoghurt-style', 'cheese-alternative', as well as mandating that the packaging also can't resemble dairy products. So oat milk wouldn't be allowed to be sold in cartons, plastic bottles, or you know, literally any of the sensible and numerous ways that milk is also packaged. At this point it's like are you even pretending that you're protecting some imaginary dumbass consumer who isn't able to read and understand basic words on a packet, as opposed to trying to handicap a fast-growing competitor?

I'm genrally against passing vegetarian or vegan foods off as meat but on the other hand it's kind of silly to take offense at "vegan ribs" and not the McRib. Both are made from some kind of unholy protein slurry and pressed into a patty shaped to vaguely resemble pork ribs.

The EU also has AOCs and equivalents. On the one hand, it makes sense. I like supporting historic traditional producers of the original thing, and they should have the right to make clear that they are the original true producers of the wine or cheese or oil or sausage or whatever they make. On the other, I kinda like that in the US and Canada I can get "parmesan-style cheese product" for a dollar because I'm broke but I want something somewhat akin to the taste of parmesan on my barilla and canned sauce even if fifteen italian boomers insist that isn't parmesan at all.

Has anybody tried making re-usable "animal bones" out of oven safe ceramic? I smell a potential market. I found a couple people on Reddit who made vegan ribs using maplewood and clay, but I'm imagining something you can put in the dishwasher. Or like a whole chicken skeleton or something. Most of the purchases would probably be made by passive aggressive family members, though.  I eat vegetarian a lot, but it's mostly driven by my unwillingness to wash an additional cutting board.

A vegan friend had me and my partner over for dinner once, she cooked a vegan pot au feu with seitan and it was delicious. She had made a cashew brie-alike for appetizers as well, which was good although plainly not brie. I think she's just a good cook though. Crap I owe them a dinner when this is all over.

People should eat whatever they want, and veganism/vegetarianism should be encouraged as a social good. Almost everyone should be eating less meat both for their health and the environment in general. But can we not call things what they aren't? Just be honest about what you're eating.

If everything's being stewed or something you don't have to care, if it isn't then just cut the meat after you've finished the vegetables. Easy.

There are already pretty thorough laws on this in the US. What you're complaining about is something someone made at home, not a commercially-sold product. They can call it whatever the gently caress they want. They know they're not eating ribs and so do you.
