How to Lower the Price of Plant-Based Meat
https://us14.campaign-archive.com/?u=66df320da8400b581cbc1b539&id=cea38367f1

My thoughts: plant-based meat is still 2x more expensive than beef and 4x more expensive than chicken... but getting cheaper and growing in distribution across America, Europe and Asia.

Even if you're not vegetarian, please consider eating plant-based meat for its lower environmental impact. Choosing vegetarian food sometimes is still better than doing nothing.

I love falafel 🥰

They have good #vegan and #vegetarian options on the menu 😋

Groceries! Fruit & veggies are so cheap in #Thailand!

by the way...

Meals based on vegetable protein sources (beans and peas) are more satiating than meals based on animal protein sources (veal and pork) - a randomized cross-over meal test study

#vegan truffle carbonara 🤤

I stopped by a #vegan restaurant and ordered the ヘルシーセットミニデザート (healthy set mini dessert).

And they gave me all this stuff! 🤩

The entrée is a #vegetarian spaghetti (not #vegan due to butter, but they could also make it without it).

The sausage-looking rings are actually slices of pink cherie potato. The other veggies are yuzu (a citrus), scallion and celery (I think). Topped with nori flakes.

Gourmet food like this is uncommon in izakayas. I think I'll come again tomorrow 😋

The second dish is a #vegan salad. But what a salad!

The base is purée, and the veggies sticking out are purple potato, green beans and of course pumpkins for Halloween. I couldn't identify the white stuff, probably daikon?

Anyway, it's crunchy, colorful and fun to eat 😋

I'm at a #vegan friendly izakaya in Toyama. This is an お通し (otōshi), an obligatory appetizer served to all customers. This particular one costs ¥200 and is made with zucchini, mushrooms, sesame seeds, soy sauce and probably other ingredients I did not understand. The server said it's a Korean recipe.

And this is the monster I got served. Holy cow! 😨

(good thing I had just 3 plums and one eclair for lunch)
#vegan #burger

I'm having dinner at The Vegetarian Butcher in Toshima City (豊島区, which actually means Toshima Ward, so I'm a bit confused).

What shall I get? I think I'll go with the Holy Cow burger 🍔😋🍴

#vegan buddha bowl with falafel and coffee, ¥1600.

Buddha would probably object that it's too fancy, but I don't mind 😋

Fusion bento in the Japanese garden, with sunshine 🍱😊🌄

The nice lady at the bar talked me into trying 岩海苔ずし (iwanori zushi), rock seaweed sushi.

I quickly looked it up, and this description convinced me to go ahead and order:
"Iwanori is much more aromatic than nori. I would almost say that it's the veal of nori. It's greener and falls apart in your mouth quicker." 😋

Next up, うみかぜ椎茸 (Umikaze Shiitake), another 名物 (famous product) of 八丈島 (Hachijō-jima). 😋

Ashitaba is a famous local product (名物) of Hachijō-jima.
They said it has a pungent smell and taste, but it tastes just like any regular green-leaf plant to me. It's packed with antioxidants.

I don't quite remember if you were #vegan, vegan-curious or neither... but I'd recommend this minced faux meat even to those who want to limit red meat in their diet.

I left it in the freezer for weeks because I wasn't quite sure how to use it...
