I find it really annoying when friends switch over and then their diet becomes McPlants, pizzas and ready meals with meat substitutes in them and any mention of something new ends up with a shrivelled up face. Philistines the lot of them. I mean they’re not terrible but there’s so much other good food out there that doesn’t look exactly like what you were eating before.</text><parent_chain><item><author>eatonphil</author><text>Rather than substituting vegan alternatives in traditional meat meals (like mushroom burger instead of hamburger) I&amp;#x27;d personally rather be exposed to more great vegan&amp;#x2F;vegetarian recipes that were intended to be vegan&amp;#x2F;vegetarian by the cultures that have great veggy dishes like in South Asia.&lt;p&gt;One way I&amp;#x27;ve gotten more exposed already is watching Rick Stein shows on Amazon like Far Eastern Odyssey and India.

I come from a culture (Ukrainian) that, due to religious reasons (even though no one is particularly religious nowadays), has a bunch of traditional, vegan lenten dishes.  When you expand to all the traditional (ie. Orthodox) Christian communities, plus Buddhist communities, there&amp;#x27;s a massive range of traditional tried and true vegan foods out there.</text><parent_chain><item><author>eatonphil</author><text>Rather than substituting vegan alternatives in traditional meat meals (like mushroom burger instead of hamburger) I&amp;#x27;d personally rather be exposed to more great vegan&amp;#x2F;vegetarian recipes that were intended to be vegan&amp;#x2F;vegetarian by the cultures that have great veggy dishes like in South Asia.&lt;p&gt;One way I&amp;#x27;ve gotten more exposed already is watching Rick Stein shows on Amazon like Far Eastern Odyssey and India.
