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.

Restaurants that are exclusively vegan.

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 8 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.
