      I was gonna say we can make you some <vegan breakfast food> instead, but I realized I don’t actually know any savory vegan breakfast foods that you cook in a pan like that

      If you were to pick some things to have prepared for you in this context for breakfast what would you choose? Does seitan or tempeh fry up crispy and work well in this sort of context? I guess there are always egg substitutes but I don’t really know much about them or how well they work

      What kinda breakfast food would you wanna be offered? :)

        Tofu scramble, baked beans, English breakfast but with vegan sausages or bacon, kimchi pancakes, pancakes/crepes, besan pancakes, lentil omlettes, hash, kartofelpuffer, douhua, curdled soymilk porridge, French toast etc

        The sky’s the limit. You basically just make breakfast but whenever you would add a body part or something appropriated from someone you just don’t, and you use a substitution from a plant. Like you can use soymilk in place of cow’s milk, alternative binders to egg like hydrocolloids/psyllium husk/flours and starches, seasoned tofu, tvp or seitan and so in.

          Come and join us by the fire, we can make you potato hash and some vegan sausages :)

          I’ve never heard of kartofelpuffer or douhua, what are they? I’ve been trying to learn more vegan dishes but only know one I really love so far. I really like chickpea curry, and I have a couple more dishes I’m working on making vegan but I’m still figuring out substitutions I like and stuff

            Liberation pledge sorry, I’ll never eat with carnists practicing carnism. I mean would you sit at a table and watch people torture a puppy and feel find because you didn’t partake? Or eat somewhere with enslaved waiters but serve yourself?

            One of my most fundamental beliefs is that subjecting other minds to domination and violence for pleasure is impermissible. Tbh I’m honestly surprised more people aren’t vegan given most people think of themselves as people who would choose to be kind if it were an option. Very few people think they would be among the varst majority that would have endorsed the transatlantic slave trade, yet we enslave other species who we have every reason to believe feel very similarly to ourselves without thought.

            https://www.daringgourmet.com/traditional-kartoffelpuffer-reibekuchen-german-potato-pancakes/#recipe - a german potato pancake that traditionally includes egg but doesn’t need it. If you omit flour and cook it till the potato breaks down and glues together you get rösti

            Douhua is a chinese style of tofu that doesn’t involve draining out excess water. It is very soft, almost like a stiffer yoghurt. Often sweet it makes a delicious breakfast topped with savoury things. Although it sort of a pain in the arse to make and coagulate soymilk, hence why I usually use the Taiwanese style of acid curdled soymilk porridge. https://www.assortedeats.com/salty-soy-milk

            Cooking vegan is very easy, protein is readily available in forms that meet or exceed the density found in meat such as kidney beans or TVP (defatted soy meat alternative, extremely cheap). All you need to do is eat a spread of grains and legumes (or lots of soy which is complete) but that can be in separate meals. You can even do extremely delicious junk food: https://theeburgerdude.com/
