    Never replace the cheese. never. I’ll happily let veins get clogged up in 10 years for cheese, cheese is well worth dying a few years sooner

      Have you seen old people? Eating cheese to eliminate the last decade of “living” basically as a zombie that shits itself sounds like a win not a loss.

        Smothering Korean food in cheese is pretty authentic ngl

        Just say you switched to budae jigae and you’re good

      Being from Wisconsin, this is essentially how the entire culture is. The good news is this means we have some pretty spot-on cheese replacements in vegan restaurants 😊 (I’m not vegan, but my internals do better when I pretend to be)

      Everything has cheese, even shit that shouldn’t have cheese. I’m not complaining cuz it’s delicious, but it does (especially when added to beer) make maintaining a healthy weight and digestive tract a lot harder.

      I’m a hardcore omnivore and bordeline anti-vegan… but there are some “faux cheese” options that are surprisingly pretty damn good.

      I was tricked into trying a faux lasagna with cashew cheese. The “not-meat” was as disgusting as I expected, but the cashew cheese was surprisingly delicious. It didn’t entirely want you to believe it was really cheese, but it wanted you to agree it was a delicious savory sauce that worked where cheese goes.

      The best fake meat is the stuff that’s at least real food, and not pretend food (like bean burgers, though those are still better than Impossible Burgers).

      It’s not just the dying earlier, it the feeling like crap all the time before it gets bad enough that you die from it.
