8. No tempe, seitan, or tofu?

Feb 2018

I couldn't make it a day without one of those.

When I first went vegetarian it seemed like everywhere I went the one thing on the menu I could have was portabella mushrooms. Sometimes they were "burgers", but often they were just grilled and plopped on a plate by themselves. I left me with the impression that a lot of restaurants didn't give vegetarians a second thought.

I would rather eat beans and rice than portabella mushrooms.
