Ever had a veg*n version....

[xStephanx]

...of something you didn't eat as a meat-eater or vegetarian?

I recently had a cream cheese substitute in a sandwich, but I never actually ate cream cheese to compare it with.

I hated bacon even when I ate meat, but I tried the tempeh bacon strips. I thought they were pretty good, mostly cause they really didn't taste like bacon. I loved the texture. There were alot of things I hadn't tried yet when I was a meat eater, mostly because meat dishes tend to be uncreative, so I've since varied my diet alot more.

I never drank milk but I love soy milk.

I like veggie burgers and tvp is bearable. When I ate meat, I hated red meat in general.
And milk. I hated milk, but I can tolerate soymilk. I like it in cereal. sweatdrop

I never drank milk but I love soy milk.

*raises her chocolate soymilk glass* ditto!

I'm actually sliiightly lactose-intolerent, so milk was always gross-tasting AND unpleasent for my tummy ;_; But soymilk is the best!

I couldn't bear drinking it after I found out where it came from (about age 8.)
I was so happy when I became vegetarian because I discovered milk alternatives, cereal & milk again! <3

I hated milk, and I can't drink soya milk, but I can have it on my cereal and its great biggrin

Not really. I'll usually try about everything once. That sounds like a funny thing, though. biggrin

i'm a milk fanatic
):
i do my best by drinking organic, but i know that's not enough.
i've been looking for alternatives -- i can't STAND soy milk. i tried the vanilla, too. let's just say it didn't work out.

i knew about almond milk, so i lurked around the organic section of randalls the other day and found it. it basically tastes like liquid almonds (go figure), which really isn't that bad. if i decide to go vegan, all the way, almond milk is my substitute of choice.

the problem is that i drink milk very often (i go through about two gallons a week -- i'm ADDICTED to that stuff, and it makes it harder that the organic milk tastes 932384729347 times better than regular, and lasts over a month). i'm really going to have to push in order to go vegan and try to substitute more fruit juices and water in for milk.

oh, i'm going to miss it dearly.

i never had bacon when i ate animals. (ew, i hate that i ever did)
& so 4 years ago when i was still veg (now vegan) i had soy bacon and it was AWESOME! heart

Toasty, I've known of some vegetarians in your situation that have said 'I could never be vegan, I love *insert animal product here* too much!'. I think you deserve a lot of respect for still attempting to go vegan even though you love milk so much biggrin Other alternatives include rice milk and oat milk too, if you can get those. I practically live on the stuff heart

Good luck with giving up milk 3nodding

When I was vegetarian some while ago, I probably did - plenty of times.. xD;

OH!
Right, I JUST remembered!!

My family and I regularly visits a vegan restaurant, I used to eat there as a meat eater, and when I transitioned to a vegan, I still did, too, and now I'm vegan.. xD;

It's my favorite restaurant!

We've known it for like, 4 years, and we know some of the workers. We still eat there, and they have a mini shop, and we buy stuff from there too.

Actually, when I was vegetarian, I didn't know the food was vegan, even though it said it out on the front on the window it was, LOL. XD;

I only realized it was vegan when I turned vegan, when I bothered to look at the window.. Dx

EDITEDIT:
OHHH! I thought you meant "Did you have a vegan version of something you ate while you were omnivorous/ vegetarian?"

Er, sorry.

The dinosaurs are returning...

When I was little my parents would force me to drink milk every night with dinner, and because of that I learned to hate the stuff (I hated/hate the taste and feel/texture anyway).

Then eventually they let up and they didn't make me drink it, they just had me get my calcium from ice cream biggrin .

So for years I went without drinking milk, and when I tried soy milk I absolutely fell in love with the stuff biggrin .

...and they want their oil back.

I love chocolate soymilk. But chocolate milk made me feel sick.
