Stuff vegans consume instead of critters

Great list! Don't forget all manner of fungus! Or maybe that's a separate list: Portabello, shitake, oyster...

Oysters are totally aminals!!

But oyster mushrooms aren't.

I'm trying to keep my list to just the stuff omnivores generally DON'T eat. Well, I threw in "fruits" and "vegetables" because they seemed necessary. And then I added Oreos because they are a surprising vegan treat.

--Asa, are you of the veggie persuasion?

Oyster mushrooms? Never heard of that before. I guess if I paid more attention to the context here, I could've figured that one out. :-P

Last I checked I was still a member of Animalia, which pretty much rules me out as a vegetable. But I have a certain fondness for vegans. They're good pickled.

Assativum-- That old, tired "joke"? I'm surprised to get the "pickled vegan" from a Wordie. :-(

Oh, I don't mean to be insensitive. Just trying to have fun with words.

But I wasn't joking about my fondness for vegans; they, like so many others with restrictive diets, have ushered all sorts of tasty alternative foods (if also perhaps a few food alternatives) into our lives.

As for pickling, I've found it does a lot of people good. And I love the word: pickle, pickled, pickler, pickling, picklesque.

In fact, I think it's time for a list of pickles...

Some things I eat, and probably didn't (or ate much less of) back in the days when I was vegetarian rather than vegan: sprouts, rice milk, sauerkraut, miso, soyaroni, nutmeat, agar jelly, vitari (frozen fruit dessert). Probably a few brand names in there.

Tasty list! :-)

--bilby, thanks for those. A few of them I haven't heard of, but a few of the others I can't believe I forgot! (Rice milk can be SOOO good). Nutmeat sounds gross, can't bring myself to add it, even though it's harmless.

you should consider adding TVP to your list... textured vegetable protein!
