And it was pretty damn tasty!
Got a gift card to some Native Foods restaurant and on my way home tonight I decided to stop and try it. Not knowing, whatsoever, that it was all vegan. They lured me in with a giant "SPECIALS" board with things on it like "Portobello Mushroom Sausage Burger" and "Deli Reuben" and other meat-based foods you find at all other eateries, except theirs were all fake meats and cheeses. I was kind of shocked at first, and almost left because I was terrified. The place was packed, hipsters and pierced faces wearing faux leather jackets all staring at me. I didn't know what to order. Then I saw a huge man in a Broncos Jersey and ball cap packing away a delicious looking giant salad, but since I already had a salad today, I couldn't do it. Then the girl told me to try the Reuben. So I did. And it was good.
The one thing that perplexed me was there was no hummus and no falafal. WTF? If I had a vegan restaurant I'd have several different kinds of both of those things on the menu. Because I love me some hummus.
What else should I try?
I hear vegan pussy is scrum-dillyumptious!
nonsmoker vegan pussy. That is.
I've had the vegan pussy. It's definitely top notch.
But there were definitely whore moans.
In college
I have to eat at a stupid vegan place once in a while and I've got the vegan Reuben but usually I get whatever Mexican vegan burrito dish they have.
I didn't know you went to college in California! hey wait a minute- vegan restaurants have been around that long?

Not funny, impenetrable jokes have been around longer
So...I go back to that place, Native Foods, last night and there's a huge long line. The place is apparently very popular. I'm waiting in line looking at a menu trying to figure out which fake sandwich I'm going to take home. I hear this guy behind me telling a lady how glad he was to be there. She said, "at Native Foods"? And he chuckles saying, "No...just anywhere with you". But I realize I recognize the voice and the laugh. So I turn around and it's Al Gore. And his daughter I guess? So they both look at me and I say, "hey Mr. Gore, fancy seeing you here." And I shook his hand. Then I said something to him about him sticking to his vegan diet and he asked If I was a vegan. I said, No and it was only my 2nd time there at the restaurant. He said, "Today?!?!" Next thing you know he starts asking me what I'm getting and tells me he eats there twice a day sometimes and we go back and forth about the menu and blah blah blah. We chat it up for about 5 mins and the whole time I'm thinking, "where's the secret service?" Do you get that when you're out of office for a certain amount of time? I could tackle him right now. What would happen??? And it seemed that no one else recognized him, until I was leaving and then he got mobbed by people wanting to take pictures with him. As I walk by on my way out I gave him a nod. He asked me what I got, I told him that I decided on the Cheesesteak. He said, "Ohhhh, that's a good one!"
I said, "See ya around, Gore!" and we slapped a hi- five.
Okay that very last part wasn't exactly like that. But it was still pretty interesting.
The cheesesteak was pretty meh.
Whoah!
I'd be like, "so that exponential jump in temperature is happening when again?"
Then the secret service would have jumped out and pepper sprayed you with vegan pepper spray.
Haha. I think pepper spray is vegan by default. He was a friendly guy. I was just scoping the place out wondering if he had some sort of security presence but didn't see anything that stood out. I guess once you're out of office and back in the real world you're on your own? No more limos or security or fancy dinners?
I should ask MadJohnShaft how that works. He would know.
Mmmmm the rueben sounds amazing! A couple of friends had a vegan pulled pork sandwich a few months ago in this vegan place, it was made with some vegetable that apparently had the same colour/texture, I can't remember what it was, some kind of exotic root I think, awesome stuff...
There's this place in my town that does the most amazing vegetarian pizzas, a hotdog pizza which is a veggie hotdog wrapped in pizza, and a pizza burger which is veggie burgers sandwiched in pizza, Iv only had the goats cheese & pepper pizza so far tho...
Stop this madness.
A "vegan pulled pork sandwich" is a pulled vegan sandwich. Whatever they pulled, it wasn't pork. Or a Philly veganvegan. Or a Reuben, but at least there isn't a meat or animal product specified in that name.

vegan haggis
I tried to order an Old Fashioned at The Chicago Diner and got the Mexican dish off the menu. Lovely food.

Ever try a rum old fashioned? I recommend Smith & Cross Navy strength.
You're right MJS, whereas American food is literally THIS good!

i have a good friend i work with who is originally from scotland. he visited not too long ago and brought me back a can of haggis. i seriously need to know what to do with this. do i just fry it up in a pan and maybe have some eggs with it. how does one properly eat haggis.??
i asked him and he said to have it with pretty much anything i wanted. im thinking eggs and hot sauce.
please advise..
Traditionally you'd make 'haggis neeps and tatties' which is the haggis served up with mash potatoes and mash turnip, but now I'd definetly say roll it up into balls, batter and deep fry, dip in hot sauce! But now you've brought eggs into it hmmmm I like your thinking, next time I have haggis I'll fry it up in a pan and throw some eggs and hot sauce in. You could make haggis scotch eggs, do you guys have scotch eggs over there? You know, a boiled egg surrounded by a ball of meat coated in breadcrumbs? You can get veggie scotch eggs too they are damn good!
By hot sauce do you mean like tabasco style or do you guys have your own style of hot sauce?
I have about 2 scotch eggs a year. Dems good shits. Jemz, if you don;t have any proper hot sauce I could send you a few different varieties if you like. I usually have about 10 on hand :D
I'm gearing up to make scotch eggs one of these days.
I don't think we have our own style of hot sauce, I'm ashamed to say Iv only just discovered this wonder!! I tried it for the first time at Hairyneils last weekend, this was the stuff, which I'm guessing is probably not right up there with the connoisseurs! Hell yes though! Rager that'd be awesome but that is a lot to ask, maybe there are some hot sauces over here you haven't tried! I could really use some advice as to which kinds there are and what to do with them, gonna drool over the hot sauce thread!

Flying Goose Brand?
What, no Cock Sauce over there?

Sriracha is huge state side but that's obviously of Asian origin. There are a ton of Mexican type hot sauces with different varieties of peppers. Then there's the Belizean and Carribean types that I enjoy too.
Texas Pete's hot sauce is the shit.

You can tell it's good because it's made in North Carolina.
nothing good comes from the bible belt..
Uh huh. Me.
