You are never going to make a vegan/skinny/GF version of something that tastes better than its non- vegan/skinny/GF counterpart.
This is a fact.

This should gave been called: OP'S Butthurt: The Quickening
I once had a vegan, raw-food cheesecake that was actually /better/ than many standard cheesecakes I've had, oddly enough.
Also, I bake vegan cookies/biscuits that are, quite honestly, indistinguishable from their traditional counterparts.
That said, I am not vegan, I have never been vegan and I will never be vegan, but I like trying vegan and vegetarian products to see how they compare to traditional. Most of the time, they fucking suck and don't even come close to what they're aping at, though sometimes, very rarely, they meet or exceed the proper version.
A place near me sells the tastiest vegan cupcakes, very moist and delicious somehow.
I hope that global is at least a bread knife and not some meme serrated knife. Even if it is, high end bread knives are kinda dumb.

Oh wait looks like there are chives on it, nice meme knife.

Soyrizo is a pretty fantastic substitute for the real stuff in breakfast burritos. I've actually come to prefer it.

Same here, and I'm literally and physically a cattle rancher and avid meat eater. I just like the texture and lack of fat in soyrizo, IDGAF what people think.

is that sam?

>not drinking iced tea out of a jug
But I have both a non vegan, non skinny gf, and a G2.
What are you even trying to say?
>>7047832
I only drink out of mason jars.
>>7047863
Jugs are for drinking, jars are not.
I make vegan quenelles at the restaurant where I work, and they are fucking superb. I prefer them over the meat ones.
veggie samosas are wayyyyy better than meat samosas OP
literally the only example i can think of but still
>skinny version
>GF version
what does that imply?
wouldn't skinny just be less of it?

>I once had a vegan, raw-food cheesecake that was actually /better/ than many standard cheesecakes I've had, oddly enough.
the thing is that's *so* different from an actual cheesecake you can't even call it a substitute really. it's a nut puree.
I somewhat disagree with this statement, because there are dishes which are incidentally gluten free, or vegan or whatever that are excellent and could be better than the classic recipe.
I know a couple recipes for gluten free cakes, one which is like a firm baked chocolate custard, and one which is an orange almond meal cake. These cakes are as good or better than cakes with wheat flour, but they are different recipes which were never intended to be 'gluten free' as such in the first place, they merely are incidentally gluten free.
Felafel is pretty good, and is vegan, and I don't think it would be improve any by introducing meat. Dhal, the lentil curry is great and also vegan. That doesn't need meat at all, and I would argue that the introduction of meat would change the recipe such that it would no longer be dhal.
I can do a mushroom risotto that needs no meat, and while it is arguably improved with a good chicken stock, a good clear vegetable stock is just as serviceable.

Not really, because there are cheesecakes that don't require baking and are essentially just set blocks of cream cheese.
>>7048638
agreed
>>7046697
OP has never heard of over-compensation.
Proper vegan baking is fucking decadent because the bakers have long since done away with the basic recipe. Faux meats can have a bunch of tasty shit in them since they know aiming for "like-meat" is stupid and impossible.
Gluten-free is shit though.
>>7049301
Right but they have cheese. Hence CHEESEcake. You had a nutcake.
