Not a vegan, but a vegetarian. This is why I love Indian food. When food is made from the beginning to not include meat products, it doesn’t feel like it’s ‘missing’ anything.

Here's my thing about meat: I'll switch away from meat if you make it taste good. It doesn't have to pretend to be meat, as long as it tastes good, that's all I care about. I will still eat the occasional burger or bbq, but if you can find me vegetarian or vegan recipes that make me as happy as bbq does, I'll try it.
I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but occasionally do a diet with my wife that makes us get creative with food. Here's a few things I still eat:
Pad Thai is a good place to start
Oreos are surprisingly vegan
Taco Bell's bean burrito, actually most Mexican food can just replace the meat with refried beans.
Bacon bits are vegan, toss them on some pasta like Cacio e Pepe
Chipotle's chorizo is fake pork sausage, get it in either a bowl or a burrito.
Then the classics:
- tomato soup with grilled cheese
- peanut butter and jelly
- pancakes
- mac & cheese
- All cakes and pies (well excluding chicken pot & Shepard's)

Welcome to the culture wars. How am I supposed to demonstrate my sigmoid male prowess to fertile young females, if I'm eating a plate of seasoned vegetable mush?
Whereas if it appears to be a juicy slab of meat, I can maintain the veneer of my fragile masculinity. And who knows, maybe one of those cute progressive females will open her legs to me if I appear to care about animals.

I've are fried rice with eggs for protein all week. It's been great. It's vegetarian but not vegan.
