    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)

      Oreos are surprisingly vegan

      It’s less surprising when you realize that stuff that processed almost might as well have been constructed from raw hydrocarbons. It’s like some NileRed “turning paint thinner into cherry soda”-level shit.

      Okay, I hadn’t thought about pad Thai, but I love pad Thai.

      I hadn’t thought about taco bell since its been a while since I’ve been there.

      How are bacon bits vegan?

      I haven’t tried Chipotle’s chorizo, I’ll have to try it out.

      Thanks for the suggestions!

        For bacon bits, they’re talking about the drid stuff in the plastic cans - “Bacos” and similar. They’re usually soy based with artificial flavor - probably for longer/safer shelf life

          Ah, okay. I was like, “how is something with ‘bacon’ in the name even remotely vegetarian, much less vegan.”

          That makes sense, although now I wonder how they’re able to sell them as “bacon bits” if they don’t actually have any bacon in them.

      I said this above as a reply to another comment, but I do feel there are a lot of interesting dishes around the world that would be loved almost universally and I wish they would become universally accessible too
