Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 One reason I love veggie burgers, veggie brats and the like is convenience. As a teacher, my job is demanding of my time and my energy. When I get home, I don't want to spend much time cooking. A veggie burger goes together quickly. That's very important for me. I also have many other things I do when I'm not working, everything from a Zen meditation circle to knitting with a group of friends. There isn't time for everything, so something gives way. Meat analogs allow me to live a vegan life without having to spend most of my time in the kitchen. I do like kitchen time. I just don't like to be obligated to it every single day. There are times when I feel like cooking up a mess of whole grains or beans and freezing them for later. But on weekends, I often just want some down time. The astonishing variety of vegan convenience foods makes life a whole lot simpler for busy folks. Cheers, Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I do agree about the time aspect. We use veggie sausages, chickeny bits etc. when we are busy, or sometimes because we just fancy them. There are quite a few quick vegan meals to make though, like pesto pasta, and several other pasta dishes made with vegan cream, walnuts, or beans etc. Jo - bantrymoon Saturday, June 27, 2009 4:17 PM Tofu dogs and such One reason I love veggie burgers, veggie brats and the like is convenience.
