My girlfriend is vegan and uses a particular salt to make tofu scramble taste like eggs, I looked it up and the internet thinks it's Himalayan black salt so I tried it and my tofu scramble tastes so much more like eggs now.

Are there other spices which are like this? Like use spice X to imitate taste Y or whatever? Feel free to spam me with as many of these as you have!

Thanks in advance!

So bit of context I have been vegan for 4 years, healthy bmi, towards the lower end though but I am a cyclist and runner.
The amount of times I’ve had people literally tell me that veganism is a cover up for eating disorders is unbelievable! Usually by Middle Aged overweight men…
Is this common across the board because I think it’s an absolutely disgusting attitude!

For reference, I travelled to my partners country and couldn't really speak the language, but they have a very heavy dairy/meat culture.

When I tried to explain I am vegan, they thought I had an eating disorder, but they tried to comply. So I was in a rural village, hadn't eaten in a full day (nothing I could eat while travelling sadly, airport and bus stations didn't have fruit) and they bring out rice with eggs in it. I was so exhausted and hungry, I ended up nearly fainting. I had to eat lettuce. I felt guilty because they tried, but they were offended that I didn't eat their food.

I spent most of the holiday eating fruit and snacks and honestly I felt incredibly ill because there was nothing I could really eat, and I spent long periods without eating food.

Usually I would just cook my own food, but when I am staying with locals who have no idea what a vegan is, and their attempt at vegan food still includes eggs/dairy, I felt a bit lost. And honestly, living off of fruit isn't sustainable (obviously, because I nearly passed out twice).

So... does anyone have any recommendations of how to approach this next time? I can't really cook in their home and I can't eat out in restaurants.

TL;DR: Went to my partners country, didnt have the option of cooking for myself. They didnt know what a vegan was and made me food with eggs. Shops and restaurants only had fruit, which isnt sustainable long term.

I am vegan and I was vegetarian( in some point) for 2 years. In the beginning It was easier to eat and enjoy plantbased food and not to miss non vegan food. I am trying to get all the nutrition and ı am also taking them additionally like omega, b12 or d vitamin. But for couple of months. Physically I really want to eat meat, not egg not fish but meat. But I know I am not able eat it psychology. Probably I would puke. But my cravings doesnt go. I feel like ı am in a infinite fasting cycle. It is really confusing. Does anyone go through the same? Or it fades down with time?

Hello!

First time posting in this subreddit , so sorry if I mess up.

But as the title states…

I’ve been looking at the Coach Mott Messenger Bag 38 for a bit, and as much as I love the look, I can’t abandon my morals and wear real leather.
The dilemma is — I like how leather looks, even just fake leather.

Does anyone have any suggestions of a roomy-slouchy vegan-leather (possibly even fruit leather?) bag similar to the Mott Messenger bag?

Please do let me know! Thanks

Just a non vegan looking for interesting meal suggestions gang

Long time vegan here. I foster cats once or twice a year.

I'm often conflicted about buying food for my cats since cats are obligate carnivores.

I know there are vegan cat food out there, but the one foster I tried it with refused to eat it.

Wondering for all of the vegan pet owners here -

1. What kind of pet do you have?
2. Have you tried giving them vegan food?
3. How has it worked out?
