Consumer Reports: Veggie Burgers Let You Say, 'Make Mine Meatless'

[longship]

77. Well, the idea of vegan is a bit crazy, so yes, I basically say fuck you.

When somebody comes over for dinner and says that they are vegetarian, I know what to do and I have no problems. They need to say nothing else and it always works out great.

When somebody says that they are vegan I usually get a list of things that can't be on the menu. And they inevitably include a lot of things that are not just "not meat".

BTW, one of my best veggie meals is made from scratch macaroni and cheese, with aged extra sharp Pinconning cheddar, baked for 45 minutes, crisp on top and melty under. Sharp and yummy. But if one is vegan, all one can eat is the salad, no Romano cheese, please (a normal ingredient). That's fine. I will accommodate vegetarians, but if you are a vegan, I cannot help you beyond a simple salad. Maybe you ought to eat at home before you arrive. But unfortunately that rarely happens. They go home hungry.
