    Dear Lovelies, Thanks so much for your concern about my arm. I am fine. As anyone who spends a lot of time in a kitchen knows, then often get burned. It happens. 🔥

      Irvin Martinez in English it's a phrase we use. Like ouch I burned my self on the stove. Alternatively you can say I was burned by the stove but "burning oneself" is not an uncommon phrase. It does not mean purposely unless the context indicates as such
      Edit: I'm assuming English is not your first language because it's not an uncommon phrase at all

    I noticed a lot of people in the comments wondering why vegans make meat substitutes. I know it seems like it would defeat the purpose of being vegan but really it doesn't. Most people don't chose to be vegan because they hate meat they make the choice because they are concerned with the treatment and processing of animals and the cruelty that is often associated with those processes.
    Having meat substitutes makes transition easier. Most vegans do not start out that way. Meat is familiar to them and many still crave it after going vegan. The best way to ensure an easier transition is to curb those cravings by offering viable substitutes.
    Vegan choices are usually moral so the substitutes allighn with moral choices without making them feel left out or deprived which is the downfall of any diet change.

    The only faux meat I get at the Asian market is the "ham." Dice it up in an omelet or add it to beans & rice. Mm! I haven't tried any of the fish substitutes because I didn't like fish before I was vegetarian, but I'm kind of curious to try "calamari" made of konjac.

      calamitasCorvus I honestly have no idea either but that sounds good. It might be easier with a seafood seasoned seitan though. Although the texture might be more off with that. However, there are other brands that make similar and that are vegan. But they are harder to find. Especially when you live in the middle of nowhere like me. Lol

    I love unagi (enough to have made my own from whole frozen eel - those bones!) but have deprived myself since discovering eels are on the endangered list. I'm so bummed that vegetarian unagi isn't available in any of my favorite Asian markets yet, though that could be because I'm in Canada and midway between both coasts. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it eventually makes it way here since it's probably available in our west coast shops where there's a much higher Asian population. Unagi....yummm.
    Oh yeah... fish and chips please!

  • @itmekilian6471
    @itmekilian6471 6 років тому +31

    I think, normal vegans- the reason for making things for vegans and vegetarians that look like " animals " - it's not that everyone who chooses that life style is there voluntarily, or doing it because they want to preserve animals.. Some do it for health reasons, and therefore use it as a means of feeling like they aren't eating any differently. The other reason is most likely to help ENCOURAGE others to eat it as they would animal products.. I don't understand why you should be so defensive about it.. Not everyone who eats vegan eats it, like I said, because they are saving animals..
    I choose to eat vegan when I can afford it, because it's better for me. Not because of animals. I love animals, but I disconnect when I eat food, because sometimes- you can't afford to just eat a strictly vegan diet when you make so little money.

    • @Conquerorsmindset
      @Conquerorsmindset 6 років тому +6

      they like the taste of the meat, so they eat fake meat, the whole point of the diet is to prevent animal cruelty, help the environment or just for health, not about eradicating the very idea of eating meat in every way possible.

      When someone choose vegan style because they want to eat "healthy" then don't eat this fake sh*t... Better make a real fish, with rice and vegetable, which is 100% much healthier than these "fishes" that btw doesn't look like fish meat at all.

    Thanks so much for doing this vid! I love to hear what might be out there to replace meats. Never had eel and never will-sorry but😤lol. But that vegan one looked so yummy and your description clinched it. Somehow I must try that! Haven't been to our Asian markets yet. We also have a Valli produce that has astronomical amounts of all kinds of stuff from everywhere. I just haven't been able to get out much in the last year. I order groceries online but its not the same as perusing the aisles yourself.😳Btw that gorgeous orange shirt looks lovely on you Emmy! I rather like orange(with black as well)as it was school colors and colors of Halloween which my fam adores! I have a couple orange shirts myself. Not a color alot of people choose. Or bright yellow. The colors of bees! But your summer tone goes so well with that bright sunny shade....a color just like YOU! Bright and sunny and happy. Fabulous! Fish and chips please! Yum. I haven't gone vegan but mostly what I like is certain fish-and poultry. Usually thats it if I eat "meat" at all. I actually feel perfectly satisfied with other forms of protein and that makes me so happy. Was afraid I would have trouble but not at all. These things you show us help so much! Have a wonderful weekend my friend! You and your lovely fam and the sweet bees and chicks! Sorry I wrote a book.😽🐝🐥🐾👩👨👦👦💛

    In Denmark we also enjoy eel. We cut the skinned eel into about 4 pieces and keep the bones in. Then coat them in flour an fry them in pan or oven. We serve them with boiled new potatoes and a white sauce with parsley in it. It’s SO SO good! It has become so expensive that I only have it maybe one time a year. 4 eels cost about 16$ and you can eat maybe 3 or 4 pr person
