I see a lot of people at least joking about going vegan lately. I’ve been vegan for roughly… ah, I want to say 4 years now? I lost track awhile ago. It was around the time the wreckers came to Hexbear and convinced a bunch of us to watch Dominion (highly recommend doing so btw, it’s free online).

ANYWAYS, if you’re interested in more than just shitposts and are seriously interested in veganism I was thinking I could help answer any questions you have. Comment here or send me a DM if you’re blush shy. shy This comm has limits on what we can talk about btw, such as diet. And I think the whole website has restrictions on recommending specific brands of food? So DM for questions like that, thanks.

    I lived in a collective house which was vegetarian and most of our dishes are adaptable. We ate a lot of stews, pasta, and thinks that could be mass-produced easily like homemade veggie patties.

    A good veggie pattie which can be a burger substitute or a sausage patty substitute (with more oil, smoked paprika, and sage) is 2-4 parts mashed beans, 4 parts cornmeal, 1 part chia/flax seeds, 1 part cashews, and 1 part pepitas/sunflower seeds. Finely chop the seeds, sautee them, then just-cover with water and simmer for 5 minutes. While they are simmering, add the flax seed and let it form a sticky gravy as the binder. Mix all ingredients in a bowl with whatever spices you like and form into 2" patties. With practice, you will be able to make 3-4" patties.
