AITA for telling my vegan friend I donโt want to come over for Thanksgiving Dinner?
Because of a girl I was dating, I did a vegetarian (not vegan) Thanksgiving one year. The crucial point was we didn’t try to make anything that mimicked another food. And it helped that she was (like me) a good cook. She asked me if I’d be willing to try it and I think was surprised I said yes. (She would’ve been ok if I’d said no.) But shit, I’ll try anything that won’t wind up with me in prison, a buncha people dead or Putin serving me a polonium pie.
I don’t remember what all we made but every bit of it was great. I didn’t miss the meat at all, though I’d not want to do a veggie Thanksgiving every year. I do recall we made some sort of nutty stuffing that was quite delectable.
You can do a lot with mushrooms and nuts, for sure.
