Unless you are living in Berlin or Vienna. Than it's like "Story Mode/ Easy Mode"
And that's only touching upon the restaurant scene. Supermarkets carry everything you could ever want for a vegan diet and I live in a rather small-ish town in Germany (~80k). Probably even more insane in a city like Berlin or Vienna.
Thats so true. Thankfully asian restaurants usually have options because european cuisine sucks when it comes to vegans or even vegetarians.
Although, you do have to watch out sometime. Egg and fish (sauce) could be used for some dishes without explicitly telling you about that beforehand.
Apparently that is a problem with kimchi, for example, where the animal-derived ingredients are not considered to be part of the "main ingredients", like nappa cabbage or radishes, so they can sometimes be forgotten when asked if it's vegan.
Yes, same shit with genuine parmesan not being vegetarian because of animal rennet. Lots of cheeses are like this
Yea or some mozzarella not being vegetarian for the same reason
Tell me you know nothing about European cuisines without telling me you know nothing about European cuisines.
Vegan is going to be a bit harder in the northern parts because butter but there's a fuckton of traditional naturally vegetarian dishes. Peasants back in the days had maybe a pig that they raised for food and another to sell, that's not a "meat every day" type of supply. Eggs are a different matter.
Im from poland. Most „traditional” restaurants have no or one main dish that is vegetarian. Theres even meat in dishes that are potato based, because thats how people ate them since the 19th century.
I don't know much about Polish cuisine but... ruthenian pierogi?
If theyre not served with skwarki (fried bacon) they are one of the few choices. Other are placki ziemniaczane (hash browns) and those too are often served with meat but you can get them with sour cream or sugar
asians know their spices, you can eat a shoe if you spice it right.
european vegan food is a bunch of canned stuff mixed up in a bowl
I love american chinese food so much, but the last place I got Buddah's delight was definitely a bunch of canned stuff mixed in a bowl with the saddest fried tofu ever. I have messed up some tofu and this was worse.
It seems like every where I go from restaurants to pubs in the UK have good veggie and vegan options these days, it's a far cry from when I went veggie eighteen odd years back.
I'm probably gonna go vegetarian but I love dairy too much to go vegan
That's fair. Cutting out meat is already making an intense impact and don't let purists tell you otherwise.
Besides, dairy is affordable. Meat isn't.

I want the "Hello Kitty Island Adventure" difficulty.
Painfully simple once you remove the noob traps?
Depends on where you live obviously. US, Canada, Europe - fuck yes. Especially if you take the time to research animal ag and vegan alternatives.
I don't know, Dark Souls fans don't have to work that into every conversation they have.
And dark souls is actually beatable by everyone if you put enough skill in.
Being Vegan is just plainly impossible depending on where a person lives (affordability and availability) and nutrient needs.
Id argue that some person have disabilities that prevent interactions with the game
People were able to beat it without sound, blindfolded and on Bongo controllers
Surely there will be a way for anyone
Don't forget the steering wheel
You are talking about people who dedicated so much time into this
At this point Id say that being vegan is easier than beating ds blindfolded for the average person. You overestimate the difficulty of having a plant based alimentation
My and my level 334 int fai build disagree.
Ok but the more I learn about vegan recipes, the more I realize meat has been delicious enough to kept me ignorant of finer technique. Cooking and chopping has improved a lot in search if better vegan flavors.
I have some good cookbooks but on youtube I've found: Adam Ragusea, Marco Pierre White, Lucas Sin.
