I love cooking, and while i don't have any vegan friends that i cook for, i really appreciate my other friends just "trusting me" and eat whatever i cook for them. Probably the biggest and weirdest compliment i get is: "no way, that's vegan?" It's still a bit weird to be treated like an alien. Like when i cook for my sister and family, she always cooks "real food" on the side for people who don't like it. Kinda bizzare, but whatever. I think it's easy to cope with for me because i also don't drink, and people absolutely lose their shit when they find out. "Never?" "Not even wine for dinner?" "You can have a beer and still drive you know." "But it's really good." "You can hardly even taste the alcohol." Or being a dude who doesn't care about football around here. "What? You NEVER watch football? But you support your local team, right?" "So you only watch the euro championship?" "No? Only world cup?" "NO? But you still support your country?" People are just opposed to things they don't understand.
