Welcome

Welcome to c/[email protected]. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.

What is Veganism?

'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'

— abridged definition from The Vegan Society

Rules

The rules are subject to change, especially upon community feedback.

  1. Discrimination is not tolerated. This includes speciesism.
  2. Topics not relating to veganism are subject to removal.
  3. Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:
    • pictures of text require alt-text;
    • paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link.
  4. Content warnings are required for triggering content.
  5. Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future (see current stickied discussion).
    • before jumping into the community, we encourage you to read examples of common fallacies here.
    • if you're asking questions about veganism, be mindful that the person on the other end is trying to be helpful by answering you and treat them with at least as much respect as they give you.

I'm too lazy to cook and to follow complicated recipes, I'm the kind of guy who is more driven by feelings and vibes when I cook. Anyway, the recipe is: a jar of jackfruit. Ratatouille (bought, from a jar) How to: Boil the jackfruit in the ratatouille for a while (30-40 minutes?) When it is cooked: Add Bbq sauce (bought in the supermarket, obviously). Vegan cheese. Alfalfa sprouts (haha, that's what cows eat. Haha what a funny guy you are, dear flatmate). That's it. I'm so proud of myself, please give me validation.

Nice and simple! Did you think about any improvements while enjoying it? Did it seem like it could benefit from marinading in the bbq sauce before cooking?

I think next time I'll cook it in soy sauce or vegetable stock with a few drops of liquid smoke. It was very good, but it was too "liquidy" and messy to eat. I still need to do more research with jackfruit, I really liked the texture.

You could also try some nutritional yeast for that umami / savory boost without adding more salt or liquid.
