Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Question of the week:
What’s a tip you’d give to someone transitioning to veganism?
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
Yeah all good points, although I do enjoy the occasional lazy hotlog (badumtss) day. Shit is expensive though.
I need to work out a good way to make seitan in bulk. Washing flour takes so long but could scale easily I think.
I have never made it using the flour wash method. Do you have an opposition to buying vwg? I imagine it’s much more expensive, but otherwise?
Flour cost per kg: 3 bucks, yield 20% or so. Seitan cost per kg = 15 bucks
Vital wheat gluten cost per kg: 20 bucks per kg. Some loss rinsing bitter flavour.
Hmm not that bad actually. Maybe I should just bite the bullet. I think last time I checked I could only find it in organic health food stores and it was a million billion dollars.
bulk orders We eatin’ chickenesque congee forever now!
Ive considered just doing VWG because the wash method makes a bomb go off in our kitchen. I’ve never really done the cost calculation but if that’s all the difference then that probably is worth it
