just found out that oreos are vegan, still trying to wrap my head around the least vegan looking biscuit ever, that massively marketed itself as being synomous with milk containing no animal products
genuinely turned my world upside smh
i know, like, fuck the tofu and the beans and whatever, im just going to be om nomming down oreos constantly now
Literally. All my favourite biscuits are vegan and I'm a biscuit fiend. Jammy Dodgers, Oreos, Ginger Nuts, Digestives, Hob-nobs. I never stood a chance.
That's a pretty common vegan line tbh for "See look at all the stuff you can still eat."
yeah, i recently started veganism and i've basically just sworn of all biscuits because they basically always have milk in them so like, i was really confused when a vegan friend sent me a picture of the deep fried oreo muffin things she'd made
I ate nothing but dumplings for like a month and a half one time. Being vegan should never stop you from eating like a trash bag person
probably 30% of my caloric intake is oil at this point. chimichangas, french fries, onion rings, sesame balls, samosas
Yeah I feel like this is an example of palm oil and soy/sunflower lectin just barely edging out milk solids for cost efficiency.
Hopefully it stays that way
Modern palm oil production is probably the one thing that's more environmentally intensive than beef
That's one of those things that has me thinking, "what's the point of being vegan if you're going to eat the next worst thing to meat or dairy".
I don’t know if it was the same for Muslim kids, but Jews of a certain age remember when they took the lard out of Oreos in the 90s and we stopped having to eat the off-brand ones
I have no doubt that they being vegan was not intentional and they will crease to be vegan the moment they discover a non-vegan alternative to one of their ingredients.

Actually they used to contain pig lard until 1997 when Nabisco switched it out to make Oreos kosher

veganismThis reminds me of a something I found out while working at a vegan restaurant which will is ironic with the tale, I saw on the label for our roll of aluminum foil that it was labeled Kosher. Which I thought was weird cause it's aluminum foil. So looking into it what the deal was that the factories producing the foil lubricated their machinery with some kinda pig lard based lube cause they could buy it cheap from the pork industry. Do now they use machine lube not made of pig fat. The making things Kosher crowd has done a bit for the vegans.
theyre just going to make it so that when you bite into them, instead of the white bit in the middle it's just a thin layer of raw beef to own the libs
I doubt that'd happen, since plant-based ingredients are almost always cheaper than animal products.
If this fact went viral - the American right-wing would have marches with guns where they chant-scream "Lard!" because they want it back in their cookies.
"yeah Oreos are actually a knock off of Hydrox anyway"
Which is factually correct but something about a food named Hydrox sounds terrible.
Hydrox sounds like some disgusting Aussie marsupial that went extinct 50,000 years ago.
best Kelly I've seen in a while lmaovegan looking biscuit
I think you mean cookie.
You see because biscuit refers to a savory bun that is eaten with breakfast, while cookie refers to a small sweet baked good eaten as desert.
Just wanted to correct you, we don't want to sound like Br*tish people do we?

A biscuit isn't a bun wtf are you on about? It's name literally means Baked Twice, it's a crisp little thing. Fucking anglo can't even speak your own language that you stole from the french
Sorry I don't take language advice from a group of people who thought naming a city "Liver-pool" was a good idea. That's fucking disgusting bro.

Huh, I always thought it came from the old french https://www.etymonline.com/word/biscuit. Seems like there's a few different etymological narratives going around https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/inspire-me/the-history-of-the-biscuit/
I learn something every day
They could be an Aussie or Kiwi. Biscuit for a savory bun is just etymologically inconsistent.
Vegan horseshoe theory:
- $ = only starch and floor scrapings = vegan
- $$ = whey in everything
- $$$ = butter in everything
- $$$$ = intentional specialty ingredients = vegan
Accidentally Vegan is it's own subgenre of Vegan Food. I have made most of the four dollar sign stuff myself from scratch professionally and can tell you how the switch sausage is made. It's made without that much effort, this shit is super fucking easy to do at home. I've worked in a few Vegan restaurants (wish I could still do so but I get paid more and have clout where I am) and have had time to mess around with some weird ideas. Fundamentally though what people like about meat isn't the taste of meat, have a meat eater chomp down a boiled chicken or whatever without seasoning and see how much they like it. People like the bullshit that is done to meat before they eat it, that's the star of the show, the rest is flavor sponge. So many things can be flavor sponge.
I knew a vegan girl whose diet was like 15% oreos and I'm not exaggerating.
I tried making a bunch ofvegan food for her and she didn't like anything lol
True, I will never understand how these countries completely pillaged countries for spices yet never learned to use spices.
our powers know no bounds•
Yeah and a lot of bacon chips are vegan as well. You would not believe the joy one spreads when one tells a Muslim that the bacon chips are halal
They will sell those same vegan bacon chips at 300% markup if you go to the vegan aisle though.

Just get the big bag of the cheapest ones you can find. They're nothing but corn and chemicals - It's as vegan as mouthwash and cough syrup
Yeah I've been making veggie wraps for work for the past year using some cheapo fakin bits - basically just salty and smoke flavored vegetable protein but sooo good.
I've tried some other fake bacon products and aside from a tempeh thing I did myself, it's the thing that does the best job.
A decent amount of bacon bits in packages are just TVP. Which is dope, I sprinkle that on tomatoe sandwiches all the damn time.
Brexit prompted a lot of treat manufacturers in the UK to cut animal byproducts out of their stuff iirc, have to think there's more of that on the way
Plenty of processed crap with animal products tastes terrible too lol. I don’t think the vegan nature makes the difference
