What do you vegetarians eat?

Cos it's kind of hard to find proper recipies on the internet... let me explain.

So I never really liked eating somewhat smart animals like cattle and pigs or monkeys or dolphins. So I mostly ate chicken and fish, but I didn't turn down a steak if I was invited somewhere.
I always thought it was wrong to eat meat. I just really didn't care that it was wrong that much.

So my main problem is that vegetarians seem to hate food and it shows in their recipies. When I read some instructions and it says something like: "Now cook the rice..." or "add oil" This shows so much hatred for food imo cos they don't tell you which oil or which rice. Like there's no difference!
Just fucking throw it in a pot and heat it up and eat it! EAT IT!

Any vegetarians here that know how to cook? You better post some recipies here or I'll go out and kill something cute and fluffy.

This thread won't go smoothly. I for one, love meat, and feel that not only is a vegetarian diet wrong, most vegetarians have no fucking clue how to eat what constitutes a "proper" vegetarian diet.

BTW, I love vegetables. I just try not to eat rice, corn or potatoes as often as possible. You may want to discuss what animal products your willing to eat to make it easier.

lol

I totally agree. But I know there is some vegetarian stuff that is edible. I'm good at making salads but that's not really something for the season.
I will continue eating dumb animals, but I have some vegetarian friends so it's handy to know some vegetarian recipies.
I don't know any vegans tho so milk, eggs, cheese etc is fine.

Sure, here you go, some of my favs and some I admittedly haven't tried but are on my list:

Soup
Butternut Squash Soup II Recipe - Allrecipes.com (can use olive oil instead of butter and vegetable stock instead of chicken stock)
Red Pepper-Carrot Soup Recipe
Creamy Asparagus Soup Recipe
Creamy Mushroom Soup Recipe
Spinach-Zucchini Soup Recipe

Pasta
Spinach Lasagna III Recipe - Allrecipes.com (so fucking good)
Rice Noodle Bowl with Broccoli and Bell Peppers Recipe (can use different kinds of noodles too, i don't care much for rice noodles)
Portobello Penne Pasta Casserole Recipe - Allrecipes.com
Wild Mushroom Ravioli in Sage and Brown Butter Sauce Recipe
Suki's Spinach and Feta Pasta Recipe - Allrecipes.com
Mac and Cheese for Grown-ups Recipe

Dinners
Mediterranean Veggie Burgers Recipe
Tempeh Kabobs with Peanut Dipping Sauce Recipe (just skipped the sauce and added tons of other veges, can never go wrong with kebabs!)
California Grilled Veggie Sandwich Recipe - Allrecipes.com
Wild Mushroom and Asparagus Tartines Recipe
Spaghetti Squash I Recipe - Allrecipes.com
Zucchini Patties Recipe - Allrecipes.com
Mushroom-Stuffed Mushrooms with Wild Rice and Goat Cheese Recipe



Once you cook using recipes for a while, you can kind of just try stuff. It's pretty hard to make food taste bad. I eat a ton of vegetables, and usually just throw a bunch in a pan (mushrooms, onion, red pepper, zucchini... and boil or steam broccoli/brussels sprouts/carrots), with some olive oil, fry, and mix with spaghetti noodles/olive oil/minced garlic/parmesan cheese. Also fun boil and throw on different stuff like spinach, mustard greens or kale - all delicious. and every morning for breakfast i'll have some sort of fruit juice/smoothie. my fav right now is orange/apple/carrot juice, thrown in blender with banana and frozen strawberries.

another thing you can do is get a quesadilla maker, and throw on some rice + whatever veges you can think of + cheese. hard to make it taste bad.

also wife just bought this since she wants to stop eating as much dairy, has a ton of stuff - Amazon.com: Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook (9781569242643): Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero: Books

zomg! Some of those look amazing.

When you cut out meats, your best bet is to start eating a lot more legumes: beans, lentils and shit. As long as you're still eating dairy and eggs on the regular, it's easy to replace animal protein with bean protein and not generally worry about your iron or B12. It's the fullblown vegans that have to plan more carefully.

Bean burritos were one of my favorite easy dishes when I was a veg

yeah, and if you allow yourself to eat fish (along with dairy, eggs), being a vegetarian is almost a complete non-issue, even by bodybuilding standards.

for vegans I can't really give too much advice other than do your research.

I have no idea what this means.

veg curries are good too.
use pastes to start with if you must. Pretty hard to get wrong.

If you're morally conflicted, I recommend wild or free range. If you ever had actual wild meat you know it far surpasses any livestock

I agree with this. It's also much leaner meat that's usually higher in nutrients as the animals get a better diet than the standard corn-fed livestock.

What kind of trout do you get out there?

I really don't understand the whole morally conflicted thing.

Some people feel it's wrong to eat livestock since the animals arguably suffer in their living conditions. This is understandable. Other people like to think that you can extrapolate this moral conflict into some stupid weird idea that eating any animal is wrong, but that's fucking retarded

So if you're morally conflicted about eating meat, yet have a brain behind your face, eating wild meat is good to go

vegetarians eat meat when other vegetarians arnt' looking.

Yeah I'm one of those people who find modern industrialized agriculture pretty disgusting on a few levels. I did the veg thing for like 6-8 years? and gradually loosened up my range integrating the good fish first, then organic beef/pork that meet wiff's strict ethical standards (she's actually visited farms before lul)

I'm not strict about it and often eat the shitty meats when I'm out especially when I'm drunk cuz beer and meat are delicious, but for the most part my day to day diet is veg/egg/dairy and then whatever "ethical" meats wiff finds at the market.
