Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 985408" data-attributes="member: 891">That's an interesting observation. I always thought the exact opposite.Early vegetarian experiences with me were with my father. When I got to visit him we'd eat Chinese, Indian, or some other spicy concoction. Then I'd go home to meat and potatos were the spiciest thing I got to eat was the black pepper in the spagetti.For someone considering vegetarianism, I would stronger suggest checking the menu on Thai, Chinese, and Indian dishes. Also almost every Italian pasta dish can have tofu switched in for the meat with results that will please even the meat eaters. At family functions now we always run out of the vegi spagetti before the meat one, even when none of the vegitarians but me shows up. Works for lassagna (sp?) and other dishes as well.Another note on that: Walnuts go great in spagetti, and turn the tofu purple which is bound to win over the kids in the group. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />I have no idea how a vegan would address my above advice, because I don't know the exact rules of veganism. But I'm sure there are many things in those particular ethnicities of food that would appeal.</blockquote>
