But I do get irritated with this question, especially from meat-eaters, because it sounds somehow "holier-than-thou" to me. <br /><br />And no, I have not eaten meat for 23 years! As you will see from my corrected comment (which unfortunately now comes after your second comment!), I added the last 2 sentences in that paragraph as an afterthought, but added them in the wrong place and didn't proofread. I would never eat meat even occasionally.<br /><br />And I still stand by my statement "Most vegetarians and vegans grew up eating meat and familiar taste, texture, etc, albeit not exactly the same, is important to people". I understand that there are some folks who grew up vegetarian. I have a good friend who is a 3rd generation vegetarian (now vegan) from a Seventh-day Adventist background. And the publishers of most of my books, at the Book Pub. Co. on The Farm in TN, of course have children and grandchildren who have grown up vegan or vegetarian. However, the vast majority of vegans and vegetarians in North America, and probably Europe, too, have grown up eating meat. I have been at large veg conferences where the speaker has asked how many people in the hall grew up vegetarian and very few hands go up.<br /><br />And I'm not saying that all people who adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet crave meat substitutes, but judging by the enthusiasm for that type of recipe, or the popularity of those type of dishes in vegan restaurants, many do. But we all, it is hoped, expand our culinary horizons and palates eventually to include new and interesting (to each of us individually) legumes, grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. in our personal cuisine.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-66355678373466328912012-01-08T12:38:26.028-08:002012-01-08T12:38:26.028-08:00Jay, a "true vegan" can eat anything the...Jay, a "true vegan" can eat anything they want provided it does not involve dead animals or animal products. Most vegetarians and vegans grew up eating meat and familiar taste, texture, etc, albeit not exactly the same, is important to people. Meat subs can be important transition foods. Some of us simply eat beans, grains, vegetables, etc.; some of us enjoy meat substitutes, too, happy that those products save animals. Not every day, but quite often. I never disliked meat-- I actually liked it alot. But I care about the animals and the environment, so I don't eat it. <br /><br />Making mock meats has been a culinary art in Asia for at least a thousand years, where chefs strive to "make the impossible possible". I don't understand why that offends some non-vegans. Most folks have no such problems with dairy or egg substitutes.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-49548881380256750752012-01-08T12:08:31.526-08:002012-01-08T12:08:31.526-08:00Not offended at all.

Strang that you'd think I was from asking a simple question. <br /><br />As a person who does eat meat, albeit very sparingly out of fat concerns, I was simply curious as to why vegans strive for the taste of meat, when they shun eating meat. A legitimate question, I think. <br /> And yes, you are correct, mock meat has been around for eons, Mothers 1950's thrifty mock meatloaf rises from memory on that one. I do have to disagree with your comment that most vegans and vegetarians grew up eating meat, so that's why they strive for the taste of meat.<br /><br /> My vegetarian friend and extended family & the communal group they are part of, did not grow up eating meat or poultry, but did and still do, eat eggs and dairy. <br /><br />One more question. If I'm understanding correctly, your comment, "so I don't eat it. Not everyday, but quite often" means you still do eat meat occasionally? <br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001654263229972274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-25930737629565685642012-01-08T09:59:29.673-08:002012-01-08T09:59:29.673-08:00Hello

Nice array of recipes, albeit, complete vegan, but that can be easily altered for a vegetarian that eats eggs and dairy. <br /><br />I do have a question about some of your vegan recipes though. <br /><br />I'm curious as to why you use the words, "beef" and "sausage" when you profess to being a vegan? Why would you or any true vegan strive to obtain the taste of real beef or sausage, when you shun eating meat in any form?<br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001654263229972274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-88024030742896828042010-07-04T18:33:37.463-07:002010-07-04T18:33:37.463-07:00Lovin these burgers, they look huge and delicious ...Lovin these burgers, they look huge and delicious - so totally American (or Canadian?).

I am already a devoted fan of your Italian sausage (the fennel seeds just make it!) and I'm sure it's just as good in burger form.<br /><br />I don't comment often on your blog, but want to take this opportunity to thank you formally for making so many of your recipes available for free, online. I own several of your cookbooks, love them, and recommend them constantly on my own site, for good reason!<br /><br />Happy Canada Day!Zoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557356294473311104noreply@blogger.com
