Another one of my restaurants that i go to for vegan food sometimes (cooking is hard) unwittingly gave me food with meat in it. I struggle so much with cooking and long work hours, but fuck man.

Being a vegan will get you to appreciate cooking at home so much more. You don't have to start off learning to do so with any top-notch, 5-star fancy meals. You just have to start with some simple spins on things you already know you like to eat.

As far as eating out goes, I strictly go to restaurants that are one of the following:

Restaurants that, not only explicitly label vegan dishes as vegan (with a symbol or something), but also tell you every single ingredient in the dish. I add that point because of stuff like this.
Chain restaurants that have had their products vegan-certified or confirmed to be definitively vegan by some large-scale vegan organization. A lot of stuff at Taco Bell, for instance, is certified vegan. There is a problem with a lot of Taco Bell employees fucking up orders, though. I've gotten beef instead of beans more than once, and it's frustrating as hell.
Restaurants that are exclusively vegan. This is your safest bet like @Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net said.

Trying anything else is just too complicated and blurry to be a safe bet. It's easier, cheaper, and overall healthier to just whip something up in the comfort of your own home even if it can take some effort, but I understand your concerns about working a shit ton.

You might also want to consider food items that require very little preparation. You really can't go wrong with a lot of salads, and there are a lot of good recipes for those.

god I wish. nah I know this restaurant has specifically vegan stuff and is even labeled as such. The lady just heard me say "bacon Burrito" instead of "vegan burrito" which I cant really fault her for but i just really wanted to yell to the void

A lot of stuff at Taco Bell, for instance, is certified vegan

yeah Taco bell has been a real lifeline for the past year and half

Bacon burrito? cringe

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

Epic burrito. I find the way they enshrined bacon in American treat culture to be particularly awful.

Even when I was an omnivore, I thought bacon was insanely overrated.

Funnily enough, I actually think plant-based bacon alternatives are more enticing to me now than animal-derived bacon was for me as an omnivore.

Bacon tastes so ”good” because it's literally just salt and fat, somehow the pork industry managed to market it in a way that carnists still think soypoint-1 bacon tho is a legitimate talking point.
