Liquid smoke is everything! I'm glad you decided to add it near the end. I use it in my savory dishes if I want to reaaaaallly enhance the umami flavor of things. It doesn't just add a smokiness to things... to ME, it makes any dish suddenly taste & smell like meat lol. Specifically, pork. I made a stew the other night and added less than a Tsp. of it and I swear it smelled like it had meat in it hahaha.

Nobody is as pushy and judgemental as meat eaters. 99.999% of vegans I know only bring up that they're vegan if they're directly asked or if food preparation is being done. Meat eaters will start aggressively being anti vegan for no reason at any time. It's like they have to constantly defend themselves TO themselves.

While I do think the post that Katz’s made was stupid and incredibly hating on vegans for sure, im a meat eater and I can say with confidence that none of my meat eating friends are judgemental towards vegans. I would never try to push my food values onto vegans cause that is not my place. By making your comment, you are kind of placing all meat eaters into a box. I’ve had dinner parties and if anyone is coming that is vegan/vegetarian, I always make substitutes for them (and not just the veggie sides, direct vegan substitutes of whatever I make for my meat eaters). That being said, I’m sure there are judgey meat eaters out there (like Katz’s) and judgey vegans out there as well. If people just stopped judging and hating and let everyone mind their own business, the world would be a better place.

@@JubeiKibagamiFez dude I’m sorry, you clearly don’t know any non judgemental meat eaters. You come to my house, I’ll cook you some good vegan food and I’ll probably eat it too (except chickpeas, lentils or peanuts cause I’m allergic to all those things). I’m not gonna sit and tell you why you should eat meat, even though I do eat meat. And I’m indigenous…I’m certainly not gonna bring up the bible to you. And I’ve never met a judgey vegan either. If everyone stopped being judgemental, minded their own business, and respected everyone’s choices, the world would be a better place. So maybe we just all need to open our minds and not put people in boxes, cause the world is full of good respectful people along with the judgemental ass holes.

I have several people in my life who get really dismissive and rude when I bring my vegan food to gatherings. Like I never complain about them eating meat. But if I bring meat alternatives around I get told it looks disgusting. I swear to God meat eaters make hating vegan food 90% of their personalities it's so annoying. They think they are being super edgy and cool but they're just being rude as hell. I'm so sick of it. Meat alternatives have existed for thousands of years. Chinese people were eating seitan 1500 years ago.

It's insane how much shit I get for being vegan...and I rarely even talk about it!! People ( coworkers have sought me while I'm eating lunch just to argue about what I'm eating. But I've thought a lot about this and I've come to the conclusion that for most (not all) of these crazy vegan haters, that it's a matter of projection. It's a projection of subconscious guilt. They're guilty of being ignorant, of being in denial of the fact that their everyday diet is super abusive and tragic to animals... a kingdom of beings that we should be kind to & caring for as humans. Ntm our planet.

I hate the "How can you tell if someone's vegan? They'll tell you!" joke, and I'm not even vegan (I'm just pescatarian). But you know why people who don't eat meat, or have allergies or intolerances towards foods talk about it a bunch? We're a social people and a large part of being social is eating together and people get REAL weird to you REAL quick when you're the one person bringing their own snacks to the get together and not eating any of the group's food - or the only person having to ask the server at the restaurant a bunch of questions. We have to self identify to avoid people doing the, "omg, why didn't you say anything? we don't have anything for you, I feel so bad." But when you do try to casually self identify before things get awkward, or remind people of your dietary things, they're like, "ugh, is that all you talk about? We can't be expected to accommodate you all the time."

This looks interesting! I wonder how it would turn out if you used all the same ingredients in the marinade as the liquid in a lentil “meat.”The color and flavors would be all in there and it would stay more moist. In case anyone wants to try it you can learn how to make lentil “meat” from Recetas de Gri here on KZitem. I think she calls it her gluten free seitan and she has English subtitles.

The drama thing reminds me how most German butchers have to advertise they sell meat "and sausage", because some meat products are so processed and full of non-meat things, they no longer qualify as meat, legally. Which makes it moderately hilarious to me that a deli is trying to argue that a food mostly marked by how it's made, not what it is made from, can't be vegan.

Then put it on rye with sauerkraut and dijon

I'm not keen on going to an overhyped tourist trap where staff yell at you, no matter how much of a NY institution it is. I kind of wanted to go when relatives of mine had gone and liked it, but no matter how much I love pastrami, I don't like this kind of meanness, either. It was very much unnecessary. The current owner sounds like a complete tool. I've been to excellent places that serve pastrami sandwiches in the Bay Area. There was a place called Saul's in the East Bay, that has since closed, but they were such a quintessential Jewish deli. Yay for freezing the tofu! This is the perfect method for getting the water out faster, and it does change the texture of the tofu as well, making it "meatier". Love doing this for Japanese tofu patties (ganmodoki).

@@MerleONeal I've just heard that they are very particular about their "rules", and tourists who make mistakes because they didn't really know the "rules" have experienced some less than stellar treatment.
