If, like me, you're wanting and willing yourself to like tofu cos it's such an easy source of protein but the texture makes you nneehhrrrgghh then bake it, firm tofu that is. The outside dries to a nice crunchy coating and the inside more like a firm omelette. I have tried it before but wondered if it was just a fluke but I've had it this evening and it was bloody lovely. Baked it as a block and then cut into chunks when done.
I'm not wholly vegan at the moment but meat is doing strange things to my body when I eat it and I've found a few vegan cheeses I actually quite like now. I'm stuck on a milk substitute. Tried lots. Still not got the right taste and texture in my brew.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Try teriyaki tofu and definitely go for the solid blocks (cauldron tofu is in most supermarkets now)
I want to try some Gochujang Korean marinade on tofu at some point, the wife does something similar with a chilli sauce mix at the moment. We bake or grill it.

Tofuking Five Spice Tofu 230g - FODAL was on the menu tonight. I did a weird lazy hybrid of bibimbap without the Gochujang. It's the texture of meat and dairy that I miss much more than the taste. I am a very textural eater and once my brain wants a particular thing it's hard to convince it otherwise.
I made my own (dough and all) momos for the first time yesterday, and they were delicious! A little bit of a faff to make, but I was in the mood for something involving a bit of crafting, and while time-consuming, they were actually quite easy.
A simple dough of flour, bit of oil, water and salt, left to rest for 30 mins. The fillings I made were sweet potato and chili, and a mix of red onion, leek, carrot and soya granules with garlic, ginger and chili, just stir-fried for a few minutes. B/f made a couple of dipping sauces, a soy-sauce based one as in the first recipe, and a chili one.
Rolling out and filling the momos was the slightly faffy bit, but then they just get steamed for 5-6 mins and -voila - dumpling heaven!
I think they were completely vegan (as I am neither vegan nor vegetarian I don't always pay attention to the minutiae of all the ingredients), and super-versatile - they could be filled with all sorts of veggies, and I am intending to!

Has anyone had one of the frozen Aldi vegan pizzas? I had one a few weeks back (fake bacon and mushroom I think) and it was dead nice, but haven’t seen one in store anywhere since, not sure if it’s due to demand or something else (the Aldi we normally go to is in a bit of a hipster area so might sell out quick). Would like another hit really.
I’m a long time veggie rather than vegan but try to keep my dairy down a bit too for health reasons, have been having soya milk for years but cheese/pizzas is a weak spot.

Regarding meatballs - I've tried loads (I love pasta so anything that will go with it is great) and the best by far are the waitrose vegan balls and the Co-op Gro mighty meat balls. They might even be the same product, I can't really tell the difference. They've got a really good firm texture and taste.
You know when they talk about radicalisation via YouTube algorithm..? One minute I am looking up suggestions for vegan Bao (found a lovely video by two women calling themselves The Viet Vegan and The Cheap Lazy Vegan), a couple of days down the vegan influencer rabbit hole later I am making cheese sauce out of potatoes, carrots and nutritional yeast to mimic the luminous mac and cheese from a Kraft packet.

I had seconds! And a few small spoonfuls of thirds and fourths! Something quite crackish about it, once you get over the initial surprise...
I used this recipe.

That’s quite similar to the recipe I used, apart from, there was less nutritional yeast flakes, and there was some ground cashews and coconut, and the onion & garlic were chopped & boiled in with the potatoes & carrots.
I actually used a lot less yeast flakes after reading the comments under the recipe, only two heaped tablespoons.
I saw some recipes using cashews, might give that a go sometime, I guess they'd add a bit of nutritional value!

There was an American report in 2006 that claimed 84% of vegans and vegetarians had given up their diet and gone back to meat eating. From my own experience, that seems inordinately high - almost every person I've know as a veggie/vegan is still one, so I was wondering how this compares with the veggies and vegans posting in this thread?
(I have known a few vegans slip back into being veggie, but often that has been temporary, brought on by circumstances - like being on holiday in vegan-unfriendly countries).
Oh and a reminder from the OP:

My kids are currently going mad for Fry Family chicken nuggets which they sell in Morrisons. They are really good.
And Quorn battered fish is very good. I don't usually like quorn much but with mushy peas it's delicious.
In answer to your question, I've not eaten meat for years but gave up fish about a year ago - so if anything it's getting worse.

Can think of a few friends who have tried veganism for a bit then gone back to being veggie, but it was more like they were giving it a go to see if they could manage rather than declaring themselves vegan then giving up.

Yeah, I know quite a few people who are jumping back and forth. As I guess as the world (or at least parts of it) gets more vegan-friendly, some may eventually find it easier to make a permanent switch to veganism.

Meet a lot more vegetarians in China these days than when I first got here twenty plus years ago. Then people might mention their gran was as she'd taken her Buddhism more seriously but now even pretty small towns will have veggie places; there's a couple within a few miles of me right out in the sticks here. Plus things like the likely origin of this virus get the debate on diet going.

Let's hope so. What happens in those wet markets is unspeakable.

The sort of people who go for the wild exotic meats are almost to a man (and it is mostly men) just the sort of twats you might imagine.

This is the stupidest decision. Offer a vegan burger but then serve it splattered in animal fat. The stupid fucks.

Opinion: Burger King’s not so vegan whopper proves it – big corporate never cared about our values
Like Marks and Spencer’s LGBT+ sandwich, or Pepsi’s watered-down version of Black Lives Matter, these businesses have little interest in changing society, only the profit they can milk out of it

I know a fair few ppl who tried the veganuary thing then stuck with it to this day, for some it was a good few years ago.
Going back and forth between veggie and vegan, can think of a few friends who’ve been doing this, more of us are landing on the vegan side and staying there lately. I think partly because it’s gotten easier, both practically and having more support.
I do know two people who went from vegan to omnivore, but in both cases, I get the impression they give a lot more thought as to why and when they might eat animals or animal products. They certainly aren’t consuming them at the same rate as your standard omnivore in Western Europe.

Interesting article: I think the majority of the vegans I know are female. The 'meat and masculinity' argument certainly chimes true with many meat eaters I know (all men, of course) who are keen to suggest there's some kind of inherent weakness if you choose to not eat meat.

Why might veganism be more popular with women than men?
It turns out that meat and masculinity are linked.

I've tried googling but their name 'veggies' makes it impossible to track down any real reviews.
