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.

Below is a recipe I've been using for a while now that I lifted from this old reddit thread. I've found it works great as an addition to most soups, sauces or gravies either alone or as a flavor booster (honestly, nutritional yeast by itself will do that to a large extent and is seriously underutilized).

Vegan Chicken Bouillon Based on this recipe

  • 1 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon celery seeds
  • 1 tablespoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay (or paprika)*
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Blend all ingredients to a powder. Dissolve 2 teaspoons per cup of boiling water, then adjust ingredients and ratios to taste. Poultry Seasoning can also be a good addition. Store in an airtight container.

*I'm not a fan of paprika, because it always seems to disappear when combined with other ingredients. Old Bay, on the other hand, complements whatever it's added to without overpowering.

This is undoubtedly better than what you will buy at the store but for those as lazy as me I've found that a large portion of chicken bullions are accidentally vegan.

For the Brits, marmite is the key. I throw it in everything, even meaty dishes.

Those little microbes pack a punch! Other yeast extract such as vegemite and promite, or fermented foods such as soy sauce and miso, will work similarity. When it comes down to it, we're just looking to add glutamates in one form or another.
