Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

You would have to take a flight to Hawaii to get them.

I am too embarrassed to tell you what we had for dinner last night - suffice it to say that neither of us ate much (him nothing) during the day so my 'breakfast for dinner' plan kinda went out of control - there were breakfast beans involved, as well as grapefruit/banana slices and leftover potatoes hash w/mushrooms, bell pepper, jalapeno and onion and I am leaving out all the rest....

If I visit Hawaii again, I’ll bring back a ton if I can get through customs….

One reason I don’t label myself fully vegan, is that occasionally I’ll knowingly add a fillet of fish, wild caught from a local fishery… I might be crucified for saying that, but that’s the truth and I’ve yet to know of ‘anyone’ who doesn’t sometimes knowingly eat a non-vegan food…’honey‘, is a case in point.

You don’t Know me, but just to let you know that I never Knowingly eat Any non-vegan foods…
Admittedly, early on in my Vegan journey - which is over 30 years now - I may have eaten something with dairy or honey in it, but Never ate anything that was once a Living Being.

Hey, good to know and I admire your commitment… hopefully, it’s a long term, lifelong one.
 
My neighbour and I went to have cocktails and nibbles ( tortilla chips, rosemary rice crackers & marinated green olives) by the stream yesterday, late afternoon. So by the time I got home, I didn't want to cook. Moreover, I didn't have any vegetables aside cabbage and carrots which I had for lunch, so I had baked potatoes with Flora and sea salt plus a few slices of smoked tofu. A banana for dessert.

By the stream, there’s always peace of mind by water, imo. I love the ocean, magical

(your post only partially quoted) Veganism is noticeably more restrictive than either vegetarianism or the "standard" omni diet. I put "standard" in quotes because I'm not sure there is such a thing. Even if you're just talking about the "standard" diet in a particular country or area, there can be a LOT of variation. For instance, in my country- the U.S.A.- it can cover a lot of territory: are we talking about someone who eats fast or unhealthy food (e.g., McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, or KFC) quite a bit, or someone who eats a variety of whole foods- including meat and other non-veg foods- but without an excess of fats, salt, or sugar?

I think the term for your present diet is "pescatarian": fish is the only flesh you consume. I became one when I was 16, and moved to ovo-lacto-vegetarian 4 years later. I think there is also the "pescan" diet: this includes fish, but no meat, egg, or dairy. I'm under the impression that pescans are a rare breed, but pescanism too has its internal logic.

ETA: I can remember two times when I gave in to meat cravings: one time when I was in my pescatarian phase, I ate some liver (which my family was having for dinner.) because I was worried about getting enough vitamin B-12. Another time, we were having turkey, and I was picking some meat off the bones to give to the cat, and I took one bite.

Hey, great reply… word meanings do change over time and in various cultures. In my mind, veganism is first and foremost about food choices, no animal products… I don’t really call myself anything, apart from human, I think, lol. Although, what I try to do is base my food choices as base or alkaline foods: fruit, veggies and grains… Grains are slightly acid, but only a little…and from my research, the only animals that are alkaline are oysters!!! I base this diet on my physiology and that ‘mothers milk’ is slightly alkaline, which I think sets a precedent for future food consumption, imo… The thing is, that I don’t restrict myself to any particular food, I’m free to choose and if I needed to for my survival, I’d slaughter, butcher and eat any animal… However, atm in time, depending on location, there’s an abundance of non-animal foods and I try to stay true to my physiology as a herbivore… cheers brother

something a little different last night - a block of fava bean tofu cut into 4 pieces, scored, BBQ sauce marinated and then baked in the oven, flipping once - served on a bun with tomato and cucumber slices and boiled yellow potatoes on the side with malt vinegar and garlic powder
