At day 7 of my vegan experiment the big withdrawal hit me. Nothing could really satisfy me that day.
I wasn't craving meat, but something rich, creamy and fatty, that is not oil, but butter, cream and cheese. Or simply REAL milk.
I still had one bag of "vegan chicken nuggets" with sesame oil and was kind of suspicious on whether those will be any good. Especially after my vegan convenience food shock of day one...
But to my surprise they tasted pretty good. The consistency was kind of rubbery but I didn't mind that too much. It didn't taste like chicken at all. Rather like some sort of savory dough? I sprinkled some sweet soy sauce over the nuggets which added a nice flavor to it.
Maybe it's just because I'm getting used to the whole non meaty stuff and don't taste the soy anymore.
But later that day I pretty much inhaled the rest of the vegan cookie dough ice cream, searching for satisfaction, and, as mentioned, that didn't work...
Earlier that day I had a vegetarian/vegan wantan soup at the one Asian place my colleagues always go to at lunch break. There is a lot of Asian dishes that are vegan or at least vegetarian. So, if you decide to become a vegan you will always find something to eat there. Careful wth Indian food, though. They often add cream and gee (clarified butter) to their dishes.
There is only one more day of my experiment left and, since it is fall here,
it will be all about pumpkins!
