Braise me a cabbage chopped and tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper for hours, and you'll never make me happier.

People whose main diet has always been meat are used to being able to put one thing (a cut of meat) in a pan with some seasoning and have it be the primary component of a meal that could likely satisfy on its own. Any veggies are always an accessory supplement to the meal. Maybe they enjoy them, maybe it's for the health benefits, but they are always on the side or as a garnish and would never satisfy on their own.

When they try to imagine omitting meat from their diet, they replace it 1-for-1 with vegetables and imagine a chunk of some vegetable (like cabbage in this instance) as the main component of meal. I've been to restaurants that need a token menu item for vegans/vegetarians so they serve literally what I just described and it's always disappointing and never satisfying.

But most vegans/vegetarians know that making a good, satisfying meal without meat goes beyond that format of one primary component with optional accessory details. It requires a little more effort and some imagination but a well constructed meal without meat is just as (if not subjectively more) satisfying/healthy/delicious as one with meat.

It's kind of a ridiculous question because it's, like, the same thing as other drunks.

French fries.

There is nothing better than just comming home extremely late and demolishing some kraut directly from the jar like some sort of goblin.

Honestly, back in undergrad there was a falafel shop just round the corner from halls. That stuff was a godsend. There's no reliable cure for hangovers, but that falafel came close.

Instant noodles baby.

Chips (fries) are vegan unless you cooked them in an animal fat, garlic bread is pretty easy to make vegan, and cauliflower wings are banging because they're just a vehicle giving structure to fried batter and sauce

I know this dude posted about cabbage as a 'this random vegetable sounds absurd' bit, but cabbage is fantastic sheet pan roasted.

He's also tattling on himself that he's never had good vegetables, ever

Bhindi masala

There's this misconception that vegan means forced healthy. It's not. If I want to be an unhealthy vegan I will eat some pasta, bread, fries... All mixed up.

Traditionally unhealthy stuff, all vegan. And don't come with "you can fry with fat" no I'm from Spain not France, here we fry with virgin olive oil as a default.
