Veganism

[GoldenRivet]

All i can say, personally speaking... i have finally perfected my steak grilling as of about 6 years ago.

I have specific spices, seasonings and sauces etc that i use exclusively to create my steak and i take a lot of pride in getting it right.

I grill it with a diamond pattern when i have the time, and i try to make it look as pleasing to the eye as it is to the taste.

grilling a steak is one of my favorite past times... i love standing by that grill with a cold beer in my hand listening to that sizzle and hiss while engaged in good conversation with my wife or a good friend.

the only thing better is sitting at the table with friends and family and enjoying - and watching them enjoy - a tender, juicy steak.

any man ought to be able to tell you - grilling a steak is a matter of pride, its an art form all its own, and your recipe is something you dont easily share with anyone.

i like vegetables, dont get me wrong.

but there is a HUGE difference between a vegetarian and a vegan.

i can eat salad

i cannot eat vegan - everything they cook is just an amalgamation of stuff that aint supposed to mix and when it comes out of the oven they call it lasagna.

but brother, i have had lasagna... but that soupy, flavorless, odorless concoction is NOT lasagna. know what i mean?

when i enjoy a good meal i do so with all my senses... i hear it cooking, i smell it cooking, i sense the change in odor as you add various ingredients, i see what it looks like on the plate, whether or not it LOOKS appetizing, i judge every aspect and dissect every flavor... im the type of food oriented person who wants to feel like the sight, scent and taste of my food is making love to my senses

and if that were the case... vegan food... is just a lousy partner.
