Is this a punishment? Did a vegan turn them down for prom and they swore eternal vengeance?

Not to ruin restaurants for you forever but I know a place where they would purposefully fuck with their vegan guests by sneaking in animal products to all of their vegan dishes as an "epic" inside joke among the kitchen staff

[-] axont@hexbear.net 45 points 3 months ago

wouldn't this violate several food safety laws to put stuff into people's food without telling them?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

Very much so. If someone pulled that shit around me that would be their last day working there.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

This is actually newly legal in Ohio

[-] Cammy@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

What's with the trend of "fuck you for caring about x" laws?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I think it's that

CW meatBoneless chicken can have bones in it

Court ruling

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

CW meatBut it’s less bones! I am very smart.

It wasn't even an intentional fuck you but I worked at a pizza restaurant when I was a teenager that had sausage you had to pull apart and it would cling to your hands so people would dunk it into the pineapple or tomato tubs because the citric acid would prevent the stickiness.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

As a vegan working a kitchen that does have vegan options, I am SUCH a hard ass about stuff like that. You shouldn't cross contaminate food anyway.

These are the people accusing vegans of being pushy

[-] Cammy@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

W-where are the beans? The rice?

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

No beans, only broccoli. Isn't this what you people want?

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

It’s egregious that these are missing. It could literally just be a bean and rice burrito and that’s it.

Also it might be sacrilege but some roasted sweet potato adds a nice flavor and texture to “Mexican” food

[-] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 months ago

Have a place near here who instead of just… having beans… lists zucchini as their only non-meat… “protein”. I’m like JUST. GIVE. ME. BEANS.

[-] Cammy@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

What is this aversion to beans? People love them, they're cheap, they're easily stored, and they show up in fucking burritos. It's like the word vegetarian means something different when writing a menu.

American cuisine's attitude towards plant-based meals is just an aversion to learning. Oh can't have meat? We'll give you cheese. Oh can't have cheese? Um vegetables are vegetarian! 😃

And then if you're lucky they will buy some crappy frozen faux meat that they don't know how to prepare properly.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 3 months ago

Jokes on you, vegan. We cook all the veggies with butter.

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Oh right, there's also that...

[-] illi@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Over here, if you are lucky, it's mostly "here, have some tofu and be grateful it's an option". But it's not a properly prepared tofu - they basiclly just take it out of the package and heat it up.

So far when I had tofu or seen someone havenit somewhere, it was good once

[-] BobTheDestroyer@lemm.ee 30 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Now I can't stop thinking how to make that burrito slap...

Cut the cauliflower into florets, toss with olive oil and salt, then roast at 400f for 35 or 40 minutes.

Cut the carrots into long slices and pickle them in vinegar and water with a little sugar and salt. Let rest for a day.

Slice the onions and low fry till carmelized.

Fry the broccoli, peppers, and mushrooms in a pan with some garlic and salt.

Wrap in a tortilla with some refried beans and season with hot pepper flakes.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

You could make it work. You know they aren't doing that

[-] BobTheDestroyer@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

For sure they aren't. All those veggies are probably straight out of the cooler. A shame, cause there are so many ways to improve it. Just throw them all in a giardiniera and stick that in a wrap with some humus. Low effort and the ingredients would store for a while. Sigh.

[-] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

yeah honestly the burrito in the op seems fine. like the ingredient list could definitely be made into a tasty meal

Death to America

This thing's gotta be super wet.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

I ordered it once maybe 15 years ago because the menu didn't list the ingredients and I'll carry that scar for the rest of my life.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Did it cost like $15 or something outrageous, too? Lol

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

They charge $19 now so it was probably around $10 when I got it.

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

A place near me does something similar and charge AU$21 for it.

[-] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Wet veggies in wet sauce

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 months ago

It's literally that meme, "they hated him because he spoke the truth."

The most vicious anti-vegans are people who know and understand the arguments in favor of veganism, but have decided against it anyway. They're terribly guilty and they deflect that self-hatred onto us, because we're constantly reminding them of their guilt.

[-] crispy_lol@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

Idk what place this is but it’s basically the same as my order at most Mexican restaurants in the southern us, veggie fajitas. A lot of the time they make beans with pork and rice with chicken broth anyway.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

Doesn’t it need rice and/or beans to be a burrito?

[-] axont@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

if you wanna go by Texmex standards, beans are basically mandatory

If you wanna go by traditional Mexican standards for what a burrito is, there really aren't any. Some parts of Mexico will tell you eggs and potato are necessary. Some will tell you it has to have serrano peppers. Central/southern Mexico will tell you that tacos and burritos are the same thing, or that burrito is just a northern way of saying "taco de harina" (flour tacos).

the vegan Texmex places around here will typically do a lot more effort than just a random assemblage of vegetables in a tortilla

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

Yo potatoes on a burrito are the fucking BEST

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Just seems like they spent one minute on a recipe without ever considering if it's possible to make it taste better

[-] TheChemist@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

I have tried some pretty damn good vegan food, even though I am not a vegan, and I know this kind of meal is nothing but an insult.

[-] LocalMaxima@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

I saw a hot dog place with a “veggie dog”. It was just bread with a choice of the normal toppings from the meat options, 2 of which were chili and bacon. At least they had it marked for 2 dollars less
