I can understand being fiscally restrained in this time but if I have to go Vegan, I think I’d shoot myself.
I mean if you are doing it for political reasons or whatever I can respect that (even if I disagree), but for financial reasons? Chicken still on the bone is pretty cheap.
That said I was thinking about doing a one month of Ramen Noodles and Navy Beans/corn bread just see how spoiled I’ve become (Tri-Tip from Seaside Market in Cardiff). I’m only 38 and I can still remember eating a lot of beans and pasta meals in the 70’s and 80’s. Beans I hate, hate, hate no matter how they are prepared, but I do eat them anyway.
I think I live on that junk, I could swear we used to eat a lot more spaghetti and meatballs, and that’s also pretty inexpensive if you use Ragu.
