What was the meat lookalike in the middle?

I would prefer the onion sliced instead of diced but it still looks great.

A lot of people down voting don't realise this but for a lot of Indians / Asians, vegetarian means no egg. I've been one all my life and don't eat egg. It's a subtle nuance about vegetarianism that a lot of westerners aren't aware of.

Depends on the region. In a lot of countries eggs are part of vegetarian cuisine, but in South Asia (think India, Sri Lanka) they might be considered not vegetarian. Restaurants in India will often call themselves "pure veg" so as to underline that they definitely don't use eggs in their menu.

Vegans, of course, won't eat eggs as a rule.

Vegetarians just don't eat the meat or flesh of living animals.

The onions imo should be sliced thin not diced. That way you can use just a fork or chopsticks to pick up all the food easily.

So….eggs are not vegetarian. They are meat. An animal died so you can eat those eggs. It doesn’t count. I don’t care what other regions think. Vegetarian = no meat. Vegan= nothing from an animal (such as milk since the cow didn’t die to get you that milk) now feel free to downvote away. It won’t matter and it won’t change the facts. Your just wrong en masse.

I thought vegan is a short term for vegetarian. I recall there's vegan, lacto vegan (can eat milk), lacto ovo vegan (can eat milk & eggs), etc. Has the term vegan always been "more radical" vegetarian in the very first place or has the differencing between them only been around recently?

I think you got some wires crossed on the words as you picked them up over time. Vegan was never an abbreviated form of vegetarian, it was always a separate thing.

Pop on over to google and type in lacto. Check out the suggestions that drop down. You mixed 'em up.

To clarify, the meat looking pieces in the middle are oyster mushrooms, and a vegetarian diet does include eggs, or at least widely accepted

Vegan was the pretentious socal offshoot that we are better than you version of vegetarians.

Vegans will only eat things that never had a face.

Vegetarians have degrees and tiers if what they can and cant.

Example some vegetarians might still include fish or animal products like milk eggs and cheese.

Veganism is the omission of all animal products, so very strict vegans definitely don’t eat meat, seafood, or eggs," And many don't eat honey or gelatin, either.

They’re saying THEY WOULD PREFER the onions thinly sliced, so that THEY CAN USE chopsticks or a fork... geez. Doesn’t matter if a spoon exists there; they were simply stating their preference ffs.

I agree, I’d rather have them thinly sliced for the textural consistency and ability to use chopsticks or a fork.

How would they get fertilized when the hens have zero access to roosters? No males=no sperm=no fertilization.

Did you also know that human women “lay eggs” absent fertilization? It’s called a period. Not sure I’ve ever seen someone so sure while being so wrong.

How is anything "vegetarian" if there is an egg in it? If that's the case, I had a "vegetarian" steak last weekend.

I mean I’m not vegan, but I make it a point not to get offended when someone is hardcore about something they see as a life or death ethical violation.

And It is literally life or death.

I’m ok with eating eggs as a concept. But the way we acquire them is unbelievably cruel and wasteful. There’s no way to avoid it in our current system without simply not eating eggs.

Even happy backyard chickens are mostly purchased as babies from the same industrial chicken producers that use these methods. And possibly most people just replace their laying hens by buying more chicks, not by breeding their own hens and dealing with the male chicks humanely.

So every time I eat an egg, I am funding this abhorrent system one way or another. I can’t pretend that I’m not.

my solution has been to cut down my animal-based food by 75%.

I suspect we’ll never get to a point where everyone in the world is vegetarian or vegan. It looks very unlikely to me.

But If everyone who has a choice accepts the gravity of their food choices and chooses to change their diet composition up, we can exert pressure and radically change the structure of our ag system to stop being such a disaster.

this is the vegetarian ramen from Slurp in Copenhagen! Was working there as a chef and makes me really happy to see this being shared here. Best place to get ramen if you ever visit Copenhagen, might come off as a bit pricy, but trust me worth every damn penny.

Veganism is about not using any animal products or contributing to any industry that uses animals. Mainly because of ethical and/or ecological reasons.

Vegetarianism is about diet (mostly due to religious or health reasons) and is mainly concerned with not consuming animals themselves.

Vegetarians may eat honey and dairy, may wear leather (religious Hindus would consider leather unclean as it involves killing) but vegans would not touch any of the above as it all involves living animals in one way or another.

Commercial wool does cause hurt to the animal. You can google photos of sheep who have been carelessly sheared. Similarly for eggs - if you have a pet chicken that’s laying eggs, eating them won’t cause harm. But the commercialization of eggs causes mass harm via exploitation.

Vegans just want to minimize unnecessary suffering. What’s insane about that? I would argue it’s more insane to be vegetarian. You give up food you like but still contribute to the suffering - the worst of both worlds.

There are many variations of the vegetarian diet: an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and a lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs. As the strictest of vegetarian diets, a vegan diet excludes all animal products

From The Vegetarian Society

A vegetarian diet can include…

Vegetables and fruits

Grains and pulses

Nuts and seeds

Eggs

Dairy products

Honey

A vegetarian diet does not include…

Meat or poultry

Fish or seafood

Insects

Gelatine or animal rennet

Stock or fat from animals

From Merriam-Webster: 1: a person who does not eat meat : someone whose diet consists wholly of vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, and sometimes eggs or dairy products

My point was that you have to be a special kind of person to be a vegan. It's not easy.

A sane vegan wouldn't suggest that being a vegetarian is pointless though. That is like saying "Why take public transit rather than drive your own vehicle? You are still polluting." Being a vegetarian definitely reduces suffering and environmental impact of our food sources. Thanks for proving my point. Vegans wonder why they are ridiculed.

I recommend you boil bamboo sprouts (remove funky odor if from can) and marinate them in soy/mirin overnight. They are a fantastic addition.

Well the same reason turtles lay like 30 eggs. The likelihood of the hatchlings making it to the ocean and living their life out is low. It’s called evolution. Over thousands of years turtles bodies taught themselves to produce more. Same with chickens as in the wild chickens are very popular amongst predators

I've never done this myself, but I heard you can shine a flashlight through the egg to see if there's an embryo inside. Results depends on how early or late into the growing process it is. The easiest thing to do is just keep the roosters and the hens separated so you know they're all unfertilized.
