I’m not a vegetarian but I grew up in a vegetarian household and do most of the cooking in that same vegetarian household now. Never did I ever live under the assumption that vegetarian food was supposed to be bland kale and rice, my Caribbean mother made sure of that. You can replace most meat based soup stocks with veggie stock. It doesn’t make it worse. If you want to add a meatiness to your dish, add mushrooms. BROWN EVERYTHING. If there ain’t char, you’re missing out. Elevate almost any vegetable by baking it rather than steaming/boiling/or even pan frying. Make a sauce. Always make a sauce. I don’t care if the food isn’t dry and doesn’t technically need one, a sauce makes everything better. LEARN TO SEASON. IM BEGGING MY FELLOW CAUCASIANS, LEARN THE BASICS OF SEASONING. If you pop the top of the bottle and it smells right in the eyes of god, throw that shit in. You won’t learn fast but you’ll learn over time.

Part of the reason I try to make good vegetarian food even though I’m not vegetarian is because of the one week my dad was convinced he was gonna go vegan.

You know what he made for dinner that whole week? Steamed vegetables, rice, and canned beans. All unseasoned. Technically a nutritionally complete meal. It tasted awful.

How could a man usually so good at cooking forget literally all of that when faced with the possibility of making vegan food?

I thought there had to be a better way. And it turns out there is. Vegetarian food doesn’t taste bad. Cartoons that depict vegetarians eating a singular leaf for a meal have ruined us. A lot of stuff that meat eaters eat in everyday life is technically vegetarian or easily made vegetarian. Why when faced with one restriction do so many people forget every single egg sandwich or apple pie they’ve ever eaten?

Tumblr users really love to make a random ass claim about vegans, write 5 paragraphs explaining why we're wrong, and then get 100k notes from people patting themselves on the back

We’re not the only species that sees another species and says “ah crap I’ve got to help him” and I love that actually

Feminists to men: how dare men say they love women when they are our greatest predators. abuse rape and murder is not love. women, dont believe your abusers, they dont love you, they hate you. the pain you experience matters.

Feminists talking to vegans: Ummmmmmm you can love animals and eat them too sweaty 😊 <3

Is pottery in general not vegan? I thought it was just clay

This is generally only a problem for handmade pottery, but as well as animal products sometimes used in the clay (like bone ash), various animal products can be used in production, most commonly leather and shellac. You can read more about that here. As with anything else though, vegans find a way, and there are independent potters who make the entire process and all the materials vegan.
