No but like seriously, why are vegan and vegetarian options always MORE expensive at restaurants. Whenever I cook my self, the meat is BY FAR the most expensive part of any meal. Meanwhile stuff like soy strips are DIRT CHEAP, not to mention they last basically forever!
The canteen I go to for lunch actually sells the meatless meals for 2/3 of the price, always a taunting reminder. Like hell yea, that’s how ya convert me!
There is a little more work to make those veggies taste good.
Sometimes some of the vegan food I eat I feel like cooking it was closer to witchcraft.
Just add some garlic and or onion, it’s the secret behind many sauces, even meat ones :)
Tho yea, you’re right, ya can’t just throw some salt and pepper together with (insert not meat) and still call it a delicacy, sadly…
