RE: Vegan Diary: Vegan Egg

in #food7 years ago (edited)

Let me start by saying that vegan lasagne is god damn delicious. @mermaid showed me how. The base is food processed black olives and cherry tomatoes. I used this vegan sausage I found too. It's somewhere on my blog I think... or hers... UPDATE: Here it is.

Further to this post I saw an official video of someone making scrambled Vegan Egg much better than I did. The trick may be a frying pan and some seasoning.

The 2x2 packaging was a little deceitful but it makes sense from a marketing point of view.

Oh, I love vegan lasagne (I just noticed in my previous comment I said "expect" instead of "except"), and this is the kind of replacement that I wouldn't mind having for the rest of my life. The ones I tried (home made) were delicious!

Maybe the vegan eggs have some "trick" to look better, but I doubt that they would taste much better than what you came up with. Also, how do you make fried eggs with that power? XD

I have to agree with you, the packaging is a bit fishy but also makes sense, it has the merit of capturing the attention of the egg-seeking customer.

PS: I have the utmost respect for vegans. I'm not one and at the risk of sounding a bit hypocrite, I admire their determination to avoid eating animals. I avoid touching some meat (piglets, for example, I hate the idea of what goes on with that), and also try to go mostly for soy milk, but going vegan would involve a lot of effort (wife and daughter going the same way), and we're still not there. The world needs more organic food and less animal slaughtering, that's for sure.

Good luck going vegan. I really miss eggs and cheese (and, annoyingly, Chicken McNuggets—I hate myself for this!), but the gruesome reality of the dairy industry (which is much more cruel than the meat industry) prohibits me.

Here's my improved Vegan Scramble with some chopped artichoke hearts.

The egg I miss most is poached, but maybe I can use Vegan Egg to make some kind of benedict...

I know about the gruesome habits of the dairy industry, but wasn't veganism something that also avoided those products? Meat, any product from chicken, cows, and so on?

I may be missing something here, as I was convinced vegan was above all, good for the planet and to reduce the production of those savage industries.

Your eggs look good, but the taste, that's what matters :)
