I dated a vegetarian, and I love to cook. It was wild how little it took to break through the "meatless" thing. We didn't last but I kept the skillset, and eat vegetarian at least a few nights of the week.
I love being able to taste things at every stage without worry about food safety. Like if I don't think a sauce is quite right, I can always try a bit. Once you kind of break through, meat freaks you out a bit... and I still eat meat!
Edit: I'll also add: giving up cheese and eggs would be hard as hell though... I get where that would be more exciting than meat.
I saw lab grown milk at the grocery store the other day! It's still pretty pricey and there's only whole milk but I'm excited that accessible lab grown milk is on the horizon
Did you try it? I've tried a number of milkless milk substitutes and none of them hit the spot for me.
I did actually! I wouldn't call it a milk replacement. It's definitely got a really peculiar taste that I can only describe as lactose free milk if it tasted like it had aspartame in it. I don't really drink much milk to begin with, so the only thing I was doing with it was just sipping straight but I feel like it would taste nice in coffee or tea. Wouldn't put it in cereal or cook with it tbh.
Okay yeah, that sounds similar to some of the stuff I've tried. It's a beverage, possibly even a good one, but it's not milk. I'm still waiting for when we can accurately and cheaply reproduce the sugars, proteins, and fats in cow milk, but without growing the rest of the cow.
