- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk

My current belt tightening has to do with being overweight and diabetic. There's a vegan burger joint nearby that has various types of patties. I enjoy the legume based ones the most. The quinoa ones are great too, but I think it would be easier to start with legumes. Fortunately, legumes have all sorts of great health benefits.
Look for Jackfruit, usually founs in Asian markets (canned) Young Green jackfruit is another great "meaty" substitute.
Brian and rinse them, smash them with the flat of your knife, and run your knife over them. Season with spices (I use a toasted spice blend, but try some bbq seasoning blends). and you have a Pulled pork substitute.
Avoid hidden sugars in food, esp. in the US where HFCS is in eeeevvvverything.
Oh yeah, I have some jackfruit sitting around. I hadn't really thought of using it, though, because it's meaty but low in protein. I should pull that out for a recipe, though!
