Food & Wine

Dare I even mention the provocative WORD? Or perhaps, like myself, you are 'taking a break' from animal products as many of us do this time of year after the indulgence of the holidays? ? Any fun food you recommend? I do not like the word VEGAN, btw... to... 

I do really like fastfood actually, so when i dont care about my health i eat many Hamburgers. I personally prefer the incredible burger from Nestle over the beyond-version for its healthier ingredients. As a vegan, you can basically eat whatever you want... 

I eat meat but many of my friends are vegan (or vegetarian). My only reason for piping up here is a rebuttals the “slaughterhouse video comment”. Before you get too self-righteous about avoiding meat, you might want to check out the same YouTube for video... 

That said ethics are important. If possible I purchase meat from animals that are raised and slaughtered humanely. I would never knowingly purchase kosher or halal meat as the method of slaughter is barbaric.

As a meat eater you get that slaughterhouse thing plus the "industrial vegetable farm"-thing because animals do not grow bigger without lots of food and medicine. I think people should avoid harming others, so no, not every non-meat product is ethically c... 

This is a very personal choice ( about health) and NOT POLITICAL. Thanks Bounce.

I did not expect a single reply and there are many to read... the world is changing... I really appreciate this information... cauliflower is the new 'junk food' depending how you prepare it... haha

As I said, I try to avoid the word Vegan, which is divisive, except for this post, which--let's face it--a provocative post is fun... but yes... I am with you... and for whoever is reading this... it is a slow, gradual, cumulative journey... and as much a... 

Writing in a way everyone is "ok" with 👍

I eat lots of seafood and very lean turkey or chicken, along with non-animal based fats and proteins. Basically a Mediterranean diet. I eat like this due to a heart issue, but I was never really a big meat eater.

And the recipes are also endless... thanks.

thanks!

. . . as a pescetarian - with lapses over the holidays. Fond of most vegetables . . . my favorite dish is guacamole.

Now i know you are a true trendsetter since the word "pescetarian" is not even thirty years old - but the concept is obviously much older. I would think Dr. No could have been a pescetarian back then in 1962 as well. He at least looks like one. Very cool!... 

. . . Dr No's guacamole . . . . . . is literally a perfect dish. Consumed with carrot, celery, and daikon radish, a large helping contains virtually every nutrient one needs. Delicious, too. ;-) Of course, man does not live by guac alone. Garbanzo bean sa...  

"Eating while checking the time" Your pictures are very nice, thank you!

. . . and they should come up under a search for 'guacamole' and 'tuna salad'. I believe there are others, but can't think of them off the top of my head.

I would love if you could share the halibut steak recipe, please? Best. René

. . . with sautéed broccoli and roma tomatoes in olive oil and garlic was prepared by my friend Miguel Murillo . . . . . . who was the head chef of the Rainbow Bar and Grill from 1972 until he passed away four years ago. Miguel was a chef's chef. That's n...  

. . . to watchmaking. There was nothing fancy or exotic about his dishes. But flavor? Tops.

And thanks for delighting us with the knowledge about Miguel and his craft. Life is richer with people like you and Miguel. My best regards. René

A very honest reply. Bravo.

I expected more of this. haha

Avoid red-flag topics! If the word Vegan is too emotion-provoking, don’t post about it! Avoid talking about “slaughterhouse videos on YouTube” Avoid insulting others by saying things like “halal and kosher are barbaric” - it’s fair to have an opinion but ... 

Respectfully... M. I am not thin skinned, like Chicken, lol

What about that alligator strap ban in California? Or AP Code 11:59 ? Joking of course. Great suggestion, Art! Happy New Year everyone !!!

I expected this kind of humor. No problem!

I love cooking vegan dishes a lot, especially desserts. I love cooking vegan because it is very creative! It reminds of Auburn (or Duesenberg) Cord as both are forced to create creative solutions because of a lack of supplies. I almost feel like a laborat...  

I think and agree that this is the most creative way of looking at the subject. Absolutely!!! And it is the most inspiring way as well. But I did not ask about it for any reason other than to see--perhaps--if there was a recipe or a way of thinking/imagin... 

It was 100% health driven and, boy, has it made a difference for her! I am simply amazed at the health benefits of a plant-based diet: her blood pressure is 110 / 70, her total cholesterol is under 100, her good HDL cholesterol is off the charts, her rest... 

No way

I echo the sentiments shared by others in growing weary of the factory farm way of doing things. There is an underlying problem with having no connection between the food on our plates, and how it actually got there. I have been working to eat meat-protei... 

Hi, I am not vegan but I have about 4 vegan meals per week. Partly it is health- reducing red meat intake, saturated, etc. Partly it is about the environment- reducing the demand for meat, reducing carbon footprint, etc. And partly because I do love tofu ...
