You can’t just replace paneer with tofu and call a dish palak paneer you twat. Like replacing black beans with lentils and calling it black bean soup IT’S NOT THE SAME AND DOESN’T TASTE THE SAME.

I swear half the reason people hate veganism is the fucking half assed garbage cooking content put out by vegan incluencers.

‘Hi today I’m going to make a yummy vegan grilled cheese sandwich but instead of cheese I’m GOING TO USE FUCKING ELMER’S GLUE’ And This doesn’t just go for cheese

      I don't know how they turn cashews into a bomb ass pepperjack, but it's spendy enough to be a Sometimes Treat.

        Here's how

        However, cashews themselves are really expensive as well. It is fun to make and you do get a good yield from a mid sized sack of cashews

      These days I assume cheese costs about that much anyway lol

      I was looking at vegan burger patties (because I am trash and love to eat trash) and I got curious, they were ten cents more expensive than the equivalent beef patties 🤣

        Dairy cheese is much cheaper, at least where I live. I should probably get back on using protein powder in the morning because even after being at least vegetarian for a couple decades I struggle with working in enough without plant based burgers and other mock meats. I would make my own sometimes but it's usually like a hour or two to make a batch and the kitchen would be thrashed.

            Yeah I might take a swing at making veggie patties again, the place where I get most of my groceries stopped selling Impossible burger and I'm too lazy to find it somewhere else that doesn't have eye watering prices.
