Eating Flexitarian, Vegetarian, and Vegan

Chipotle is the best vegan fast food, imo. Try the sofritas burrito. If vegetarian, then there are a lot of options. In’n’Out has a good grilled cheese that you can add hot peppers for a little pizazz. Taco Bell has lots of options. Subway is kind of trash but it works in a pinch. And then there are the various BeyondBurger places. I haven’t really tried many of those, but I like this place called Nice Guys that has a good vegan bacon burger.

Thanks for all the tips to get started. A couple of the dinners I’ve made so far that have turned out excellent were tacos using sweet potatoes in place of meat and a mushroom and asparagus risotto.

Does anyone have a good dahl recipe?

Been vegetarian plus fish/seafood for 30+ years. Was full vegetarian until I first came to Japan, but the lack of vegetarian options caused me to eat a seafood meal there one day. It was so delicious I’ve never looked back. Zero desire to eat any land animal though.

Don’t know what kind of supplies you’ve got but real dahl just needs some fried jimbu and chilis covered in plain old simmered salted lentils.

Assuming you’re in the 99% of the world you can’t find jimbu, just fry up some chilis, maybe some cumin seeds if you want some earthiness, a few coriander seeds, star anise… basically any hard spices in oil for a minute to release their flavour. Then add clean rinsed lentils/peas/mung beans and a bunch of water and simmer until you get a consistency you like. If you’re not on a diet some crispy onions or shallots might be nice.

My son’s dinner today was goldfish crackers dipped in tahini. It quickly turned to fingers dipped in tahini. I stand by my cooking.
