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.
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

I stopped by a #vegan restaurant and ordered the ใใซใทใผใปใใใใใใถใผใ (healthy set mini dessert).
And they gave me all this stuff! ๐คฉ
The entrรฉe 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 ๐
The second dish is a #vegan salad. But what a salad!
The base is purรฉe, 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 ๐
I'm at a #vegan friendly izakaya in Toyama. This is an ใ้ใ (otลshi), an obligatory appetizer served to all customers. This particular one costs ยฅ200 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.
I'm having dinner at The Vegetarian Butcher in Toshima City (่ฑๅณถๅบ, 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 ๐๐๐ด

#vegan buddha bowl with falafel and coffee, ยฅ1600.
Buddha would probably object that it's too fancy, but I don't mind ๐
The nice lady at the bar talked me into trying ๅฒฉๆตท่ใใ (iwanori zushi), rock seaweed sushi.
I quickly looked it up, and this description convinced me to go ahead and order:
"Iwanoriย is much more aromatic thanย nori. I would almost say that it's the veal ofย nori. It's greener and falls apart in your mouth quicker." ๐

Ashitaba is a famous local product (ๅ็ฉ) of Hachijล-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.
