Say "Cheese"

so, i'm trying hard to be a vegan... at one time i managed to go a good six months as a vegan. my latest stint, it's been a good three months now, i would think.

although, in the spirit of full-disclosure, i did take a vegan holiday this past weekend to celebrate pride. (god, i love chocolate!)

but in the ever-expanding world of vegan-friendly options out there.... i try, from time to time, new items. soy bacon. meatless corndogs....

i've even had vegan cheese before...

vegan cheese is not cheese. it will never be cheese.

but sometimes, when you're a vegan, you want to feel like you've had the slightest soupçon of cheddar. so i ventured... again.

for the record: cheese made from tofu is godawful fucking horrid. i tried some the other day... i sweat to vishnu, i thought i'd vomit. i mixed it in some things... hopeful. no better. ruined the entire dish. the entire package is now congealing away in some landfill.

so i then tried cheese made from rice.... better. still not great. but better.

in case you were wondering....

and for the record.

oy vey. i should have warned you, i am so sorry.

while up in fort worth(less...thank you, oliver) we went to some big deal veg place. i ordered something that had cheez on it. i thought maybe they were "mostly" vegan, with an occasional dairy lapse.

wrong, wrong, wrong. it was so completely vile. better you should live your life without cheese, athena forbid, than to ever eat cheez.
