Not to ruin restaurants for you forever but I know a place where they would purposefully fuck with their vegan guests by sneaking in animal products to all of their vegan dishes as an "epic" inside joke among the kitchen staff

Take B12. :vegan-edge:
wouldn't this violate several food safety laws to put stuff into people's food without telling them?
Very much so. If someone pulled that shit around me that would be their last day working there.
This is actually newly legal in Ohio
What's with the trend of "fuck you for caring about x" laws?
I think it's that
CW meat
Boneless chicken can have bones in it
Court ruling
CW meat
But it’s less bones! I am very smart.
It wasn't even an intentional fuck you but I worked at a pizza restaurant when I was a teenager that had sausage you had to pull apart and it would cling to your hands so people would dunk it into the pineapple or tomato tubs because the citric acid would prevent the stickiness.
As a vegan working a kitchen that does have vegan options, I am SUCH a hard ass about stuff like that. You shouldn't cross contaminate food anyway.
These are the people accusing vegans of being pushy
"epic"
The people that still use that adjective on a daily basis in a non-mocking way tend to be massive douchebags.
W-where are the beans? The rice?
No beans, only broccoli. Isn't this what you people want?
It’s egregious that these are missing. It could literally just be a bean and rice burrito and that’s it.
Also it might be sacrilege but some roasted sweet potato adds a nice flavor and texture to “Mexican” food
Have a place near here who instead of just… having beans… lists zucchini as their only non-meat… “protein”. I’m like JUST. GIVE. ME. BEANS.
What is this aversion to beans? People love them, they're cheap, they're easily stored, and they show up in fucking burritos. It's like the word vegetarian means something different when writing a menu.
American cuisine's attitude towards plant-based meals is just an aversion to learning. Oh can't have meat? We'll give you cheese. Oh can't have cheese? Um vegetables are vegetarian! 😃
And then if you're lucky they will buy some crappy frozen faux meat that they don't know how to prepare properly.
Jokes on you, vegan. We cook all the veggies with butter.
Oh right, there's also that...
Over here, if you are lucky, it's mostly "here, have some tofu and be grateful it's an option". But it's not a properly prepared tofu - they basiclly just take it out of the package and heat it up.
So far when I had tofu or seen someone havenit somewhere, it was good once
Now I can't stop thinking how to make that burrito slap...
Cut the cauliflower into florets, toss with olive oil and salt, then roast at 400f for 35 or 40 minutes.
Cut the carrots into long slices and pickle them in vinegar and water with a little sugar and salt. Let rest for a day.
Slice the onions and low fry till carmelized.
Fry the broccoli, peppers, and mushrooms in a pan with some garlic and salt.
Wrap in a tortilla with some refried beans and season with hot pepper flakes.
You could make it work. You know they aren't doing that
For sure they aren't. All those veggies are probably straight out of the cooler. A shame, cause there are so many ways to improve it. Just throw them all in a giardiniera and stick that in a wrap with some humus. Low effort and the ingredients would store for a while. Sigh.
yeah honestly the burrito in the op seems fine. like the ingredient list could definitely be made into a tasty meal
Death to America
This thing's gotta be super wet.
I ordered it once maybe 15 years ago because the menu didn't list the ingredients and I'll carry that scar for the rest of my life.
Did it cost like $15 or something outrageous, too? Lol
They charge $19 now so it was probably around $10 when I got it.
A place near me does something similar and charge AU$21 for it.
Wet veggies in wet sauce
It's literally that meme, "they hated him because he spoke the truth."
The most vicious anti-vegans are people who know and understand the arguments in favor of veganism, but have decided against it anyway. They're terribly guilty and they deflect that self-hatred onto us, because we're constantly reminding them of their guilt.
In my experience, the most vicious and toxic treat defenders (many of which tend to be carnists that show themselves for carnist reasons) are the ones that react to posts that, for just a moment, make them possibly feel a brief pang of guilt and they need aggressively re-bury that unearthed guilt so they feel like the Main Character that can do no wrong and has to make no efforts to cease doing the thing that they briefly felt guilty about.
Not sure if that menu offering is sheer "put vegetables in a tortilla and fuck off" spite or if it's just some sort of regional blandness applied to everything on the menu.
I'm convinced it's spite, this restaurant is fairly well regarded and I'm close enough to Mexico that the cultural osmosis shouldn't be this bleak.
whys it bad im confused
Burritos can have any veggies in them, but rice and beans are a staple in most. This version listed veggies that rarely show up in burritos while omitting basic ingredients associated with burritos.
It's like if they made a vegetarian spaghetti, omitted tomatoes, and instead added peas. Like yeah, peas are vegetarian, but it's not exactly part of pasta.
A lot of restaurants do this for different reasons, usually to half-heartedly accommodate people who don't eat meat.
ooooh i didn't process the lack of beans or rice
Riceless burittos >>> rice-filled burittos. Why carbmaxx when you can beanmax?
Doesn’t it need rice and/or beans to be a burrito?
if you wanna go by Texmex standards, beans are basically mandatory
If you wanna go by traditional Mexican standards for what a burrito is, there really aren't any. Some parts of Mexico will tell you eggs and potato are necessary. Some will tell you it has to have serrano peppers. Central/southern Mexico will tell you that tacos and burritos are the same thing, or that burrito is just a northern way of saying "taco de harina" (flour tacos).
the vegan Texmex places around here will typically do a lot more effort than just a random assemblage of vegetables in a tortilla
Yo potatoes on a burrito are the fucking BEST
Idk what place this is but it’s basically the same as my order at most Mexican restaurants in the southern us, veggie fajitas. A lot of the time they make beans with pork and rice with chicken broth anyway.
Just seems like they spent one minute on a recipe without ever considering if it's possible to make it taste better
I have tried some pretty damn good vegan food, even though I am not a vegan, and I know this kind of meal is nothing but an insult.
I saw a hot dog place with a “veggie dog”. It was just bread with a choice of the normal toppings from the meat options, 2 of which were chili and bacon. At least they had it marked for 2 dollars less
