Can of beans.
Take it easy, Rorschach
Alton Brown’s Shred Head Butter & Bread isn’t far from there. Toast up some bread crumbs in that olive oil and then toss in blanched shredded cabbage.
It’s also a great substitute for pasta if you need less carbs.
Nice!

Hahahahahahaha! Fair enough. I am actually very used to brassicas being vegan and no fibre bothers me.
Chop it up, fry it with onions and peppers and rice, drown it in soy sauce, yes please
Don’t forget the sesame oil drizzle at the end
Honestly, back in undergrad there was a falafel shop just round the corner from halls. That stuff was a godsend. There’s no reliable cure for hangovers, but that falafel came close.
Fuck I would kill for falafel rn
Does sauerkraut count cause I’ll fuck up some sauerkaut after a night out.
It sure does.
I discovered that most veggies I used to not like (eg cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts) was because I never had them properly done/cooked.
Learning to cook has opened a world of opportunities in terms of taste and culinary adventures. It also helps me save money!
Plug for the book that started it all for me: https://ohsheglows.com/
It’s unfortunate that the Oh She Glows woman is a convoy supporter because her recipes are great.

Ugh bummer - I’m that case I’d recommend Love & Lemons, another book I found subsequently that is also really good.
Absolutely love that site! I also have a great cookbook called Vegetable Literacy by Deborah Madison.
Bhindi masala
Lovely!
Oh yes baby
It’s kind of a ridiculous question because it’s, like, the same thing as other drunks.
French fries.
My drunk ass just order room service fries!
As a non vegan, chips just get in the way. Fried chicken, yiros, meat pies and curry all top that list
I mean I don’t keep vegan, either, but I party with vegans. It’s still just fried food.
Personally? I like fried chicken or pickles.
Never had fried pickles, i can already feel the heart burn. But onion rings, ooooh boy
Fried pickles can either be absolutely amazing or so disappointing. You generally dip them into a non-vegan dip, however.

The good place is make a remoulade and don’t use ranch dressing.
Hidden Valley makes a vegan ranch dressing now, fwiw, but also I’ve made my own from a packet of ranch seasoning and blended soaked cashews and lemon juice.
Cashew ranch is good shit. I’ve made it a few times, but I usually don’t go through it quick enough to want to make a whole batch. There’s a veg restaurant nearby that I can get smaller quantities from, though.
Naw naw like pickled radish, onion, cucumbers or eggplant.
Tho fried pickles are delicious.
Oh you’re reminding me of the fried salt and pepper eggplant I had at a Vietnamese plane… almost had me buying a deep fryer for home on the spot
same thing as other drunks.
Kebab?
French fries.
Eh…
Chips (fries) are vegan unless you cooked them in an animal fat, garlic bread is pretty easy to make vegan, and cauliflower wings are banging because they’re just a vehicle giving structure to fried batter and sauce
Braise cabbage for hours? Is it still crunchy at all by that point? I like cabbage mostly for the crunch.
No it’s soft and creamy and absolutely fantastic.
I’m doing the thing a little child does when they can’t imagine what some unknown food could taste like so they instinctively recoil and assume it must be disgusting.
But I do like cabbage. Might give it a try some day.
This is how I do it. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/roast-savoy-cabbage-with-lemon
If you cook it right, you can get it to a jammy consistency like onions. I have some in my fridge right now. So good.
I am omnivorous, and you can pull my cabbage from my cold dead hands, that vegetable is so delicious. Raw in coleslaw? Good. Stir fry al dente? Good. Braised till tender? Good. Burned in the iron skillet then topped with flavored oil and sesame seeds and seaweed? So good. It is so versatile and so delicious.
I never did like cabbage rolls before becoming vegan, I’m just not into them, and that was all I really knew of cabbage before so I thought it was gross. But it’s a world of delicious.
People whose main diet has always been meat are used to being able to put one thing (a cut of meat) in a pan with some seasoning and have it be the primary component of a meal that could likely satisfy on its own. Any veggies are always an accessory supplement to the meal. Maybe they enjoy them, maybe it’s for the health benefits, but they are always on the side or as a garnish and would never satisfy on their own.
When they try to imagine omitting meat from their diet, they replace it 1-for-1 with vegetables and imagine a chunk of some vegetable (like cabbage in this instance) as the main component of meal. I’ve been to restaurants that need a token menu item for vegans/vegetarians so they serve literally what I just described and it’s always disappointing and never satisfying.
But most vegans/vegetarians know that making a good, satisfying meal without meat goes beyond that format of one primary component with optional accessory details. It requires a little more effort and some imagination but a well constructed meal without meat is just as (if not subjectively more) satisfying/healthy/delicious as one with meat.
I know this dude posted about cabbage as a ‘this random vegetable sounds absurd’ bit, but cabbage is fantastic sheet pan roasted.
He’s also tattling on himself that he’s never had good vegetables, ever
I absolutely love slow braised cabbage. People need to understand vegetables better.
