"Honestly: Do you think vegan food is as tasty as the food you ate before?"
Sometimes people ask if it's possible to make as good food without animal products as it is with. For people who are used to put butter, milk, cream, cheese etc. in their meals it's a very natural question to ask, because they simply don't know without having tried other ways of getting the results they want. What do you think?

I voted slightly better. You miss some very yummy things but gain other yummy things which you never would bother trying if you weren`t looking out for them.

I asked my family about this, and after umming and ahhing they think it's better, as now meals are more intersting, cooked from scratch, and not just some frozen vegetarian fare.
I playing more with herbs and things, nuts and weird veg, and it's definitely worth the effort.
My only problem is when I'm stuck somewhere, sent away work wise, and the only place to get food is a service station. There's only so much stuff you can take with you, before you are at the mercy of what's available by the side of the motorway.
I fond myself eating a lot of slightly bruised apples previously pawed by salesmen, and crisps....lots of crisps....

I say better, thats because i was a rubbish veggie cook. When i became vegan i had to learn to cook and i now love inflicting new things onto my poor family that have to put up with my cooking :)
Re: "Honestly: Do you think vegan food is as tasty as the food you ate before?"
I think it's way better, but it's probably because I can't be so lazy about what I eat. I have to plan out what to buy, and plan out meals, and critically think about what I'm putting into my body, whereas before I'd just eat whatever and not think about it, and never feel well afterwards. Now it's all tasty, though I really do miss pizza. Soy cheese is just -not- the same. Though I forgot all about chocolate when I was introduced to baklava. Yum!

I made my first pizza from scratch at the weekend and it was so easy, and you really dont need to put much cheese on, just a sprinkle grated is enough, if you put enough toms, peppers or whatever else you like on it tastes lovely and you dont get that horrible fatty base you get when you use normal cheese. :)

I am a much better cook now than I used to be - and I am a coeliac vegan, so can't have wheat, which knocks most of the meat substitutes out. And still the food is much better. I eat tonnes of Asian food, mainly Indian, and cook up soups, stews of my own at home. I am also looking forward to the shepherds pie I have planned for tomorrow.
When I am not too busy that is! I have always forgotten to cook when I am too busy. But when I do cook I love it. And I always love to eat when there is food in front of me.
Yesterday I made vegan sushi with my son. Wow, it was good. I never ate like that when I was a flesh eater. And I now know that I adore sushi. It is fantastic stuff. Mmmmmm...

What kind of cheese do you use, can I ask? the only soy cheese I've really tried is from Galaxy Nutritional Foods, and if you don't eat it while it's hot, it gets really...weird. there's no reheating that stuff.

I totally agree with death of decadence, I eat way more variety and way better quality, so its for sure better.
Banana-try Wildwood probiotic yogurt, it comes it a larger container and its about $3.00-$3.50(plain and vanilla I just got this yesterday and its a little to sweet for me I like the plain with preserves added) It is the closest if not better than regular yogurt, its so thick it almost has a cream top when you open it.
