WTF is wrong with people??? - Page 2

I would think that many Mediterranean style vegetarian dishes could be good with some smoke influence. Never thought about it, but smoked humus, babaganoush (sp?), falafel could be excellent. If you can cater to a larger crowd, why not.

I completely agree with the over processed 'vegi burger" as yuck, but I think there could be a lot of classic non-meat dishes that would be great off a smoker.

On the other hand, imagine you're Jewish and a restaurant chain offered a Kosher food option, only for you to find out it's cooked on the same grill as everything else that isn't Kosher. For many vegetarian/vegan people out there, it's just as strong a belief to them as any religion.

When I was asked to cook vegetarian dish for a large party, I bought a case of Portobello mushrooms and marinated them in a soy-ginger-sesame oil dressing before smoking. They were very well received.

I don’t go to a Chevy dealership to buy a new Audi, I don’t go to a baseball game and ask them to play football and I don’t go to a Q joint for kale and a carrot.

Having said that, my daughter just married a vegetarian and that keeps me away from good Q joints when we’re all together. If there was a place where I could eat good brisket and he could get smoked eggplant or a beet burger, I could drag him and his uninformed palate there. Maybe a business case could be made for a non-animal-based choice at a Q joint. Just feels wrong though doesn’t it

If you want something that eats like meat and tastes like meat, eat meat! I offer veg options when I cook for a large event. But I will not be throwing any manufactured fake meat on my grill.

I don't eat out a lot, but stopped at a BK south of Cinci on the way home from Ohio Sunday. I asked the guy what was in the Impossible Burger.

He said, "Nothing".

It was a compliment that I was 600 miles from home, had never met him and he knew there was nothing in the burger for me.

IamMadMan · 11-21-2019, 07:50 AM

Let them have their fake meat, maybe it will help to bring prices down on the real meat.

EricD · 11-21-2019, 08:39 AM

I hate veggies. Can we create the Impossible Veggie. No plant 100% meat based broccoli!?
Then again...it's the taste I don't like so.

Am I the only one who finds the words BBQ meat alternative contradictory?

TXMasterbuilt · 11-21-2019, 08:41 AM

If eating vegan is so amazing, why do they spend so much time trying to make it taste like meat?

My feeling is, animals spend their life eating vegetation...it is my responsibility to eat as many animals as possible to protect the vegan food source.

What you said there reminds me of one of my favorite Jim Gaffigan jokes! Especially the first 36 seconds of this video. Not sure why it starts 36 seconds in, but you need to rewind it to the beginning to get to the best part.

I wake up every day and swig one tablespoon black cumin seed oil and a 50/50 blend about 8oz of these. If I don’t see another fruit or veggie the rest of the day I’ve done my part. However most of the time I consume quite a bit of dark veggies and dark bitter fruits. DivaQ posted a recipe for smoked cranberry chutney on her IG today. It’ll go great with smoked pork. Sometimes I get the feeling that vegans/vegetarians etc think meat eaters don’t like fruits and vegetables. In my case nothing could be further from the truth.
