I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from the hot sauce in the air, me included. We had to open all the windows, dig out the fans to get it out of the house, freezing everyone in the process.
To many vegans/vegetarians, it’s just genuinely repulsive. Either they adopted the diet, because they found meat gross from the start.
Or, for many folks, even if they started from purely a moral conviction, it still becomes repulsive over time. You just don’t really think about whether you find something gross or not, when you eat it regularly, grew up with it etc… Taking that step back, allows you to re-evaluate.
Appreciate your response. Do you think when friends/family cook you food they should make the effort as if you did have a food allergy?
Well, me personally, yes. I’m much happier, if you just give me some salad and some noodles and I can throw together a makeshift noodle salad than if you expect me to eat a fancy vegan burger soaked in meat juice. But yeah, every vegan will have a different stance on that…
Fair enough. I’ll keep it in mind.
