AIBU to be unreasonably angry about food lies?

[SchrodingersImmigrant]

Aaagr.

It started with buffalo cauliflower wings😔
There are no wings on cauli! It doesn't remotely taste like wings either! It's BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES. (Which are really nice btw)

Then the Jackfruit Pulled Pork.
No. There is NO pork.
It's "pulled jackfruit" if anything. Liers.

And to top it off... Chickpe tuna. The hell, people😔 The hell... It hasn't even passed tuna anywhere in its existence.
It's CHICKPEA spread or something. No tuna. Bad people.

Liessssss. Why can't food be just called what it is🤦 There is just no need for all them liessssssssss.

I'm amazed at the things people get angry about. If veggie alternatives shouldn't be called sausage or burger anymore because it's not descriptive enough for some, maybe they would like to see a re brand of "Richmond,mangled pig lips, grissle and arseholes wrapped in skin?" Just keep away from the veggie aisle in which ever supermarket you go to Karen, or send an adult to do the shopping for you?

Please don't call people 'Karen' in that way - it is deeply offensive.

chicken doughnuts a chicken ina shape of a dougnut in a dougnut dough is a chicken doughnut. prawn lollipops prawn on a stick. That's a lollipop. Stuff on a stick. Coconut milk I am for some reason unsure about this one🤔 I know it's wrong, but for some reason it's fine in my head.

This seems very contradictory.

A doughnut is not a shape it’s a dessert made of dough.
A lolly pop is a sweet on a stick.
Surely this is exactly what annoys you?

If I ordered a prawn lollipop I would expect a prawn on a stick as you said, alike if I ordered a veggie burger I would expect a vegetarian burger.

Surely this is exactly what annoys you?

No actually. What would annoy me would be if it was called prawn lollipop and there was no prawn. Or chicken doughnut and there was no chicken or dougnut.

Like it would annoy me if I order Tequilla sunrise and get an orange juice. Or chicken and rice and get broccoli and rice.

Ah I see. I don’t agree but I guess that’s what makes the world go around eh 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

But then, it says ‘style’ so you know you aren’t getting a chicken nugget as such. If I ordered ‘chicken style nugget’ I would get a ‘chicken style nugget’ which is what I would have ordered, not chicken

😁 Absolutely!

It's like if I went to adopt a kitten and was given a plant with kitten's hair on it😂
I am being ridiculous now, I know😂

You are doing AIBU wrong! You need to hurl abuse and die on your hill.

No Anglo-Irish general is contained in Beef Wellington.

Thankfully no lady fingers are to be found in okras, or biscuits of the same name.

No Dutchman in Hollandaise sauce.

And sadly no cocaine in Coca Cola.

No Grandmother, last name Smith, in green apples.

No male appendages in Cox apples.

The French word for lotion is “lait” (milk), I’ve never seen anyone pour it in their coffee by mistake.

And sadly no cocaine in Coca Cola.
Not anymore😂

Why oh why do people spoil a perfectly reasonable argument by calling the other person Karen . Please . Just stop with the Karen insults .

Don't forget the wrong casing for sausage

@pressedclay

I can't get worked up about this and anyone who does should get a life.

And why would a vegetarian want something that reminds them of animal based food?

This has often puzzled me too.

Really? You don't get that people can like the taste of meat but not the ethics, and therefore want something that tastes a bit like meat or a meat based meal yet doesn't contain any dead animal?

This baffles me. The last think my vegetarian dd wants to think of when eating is meat, so why market delicious vegetarian/vegan food as being akin to meat? Makes no sense.

The thing is that some of the things I am moaning about aren't even akin to the meat. For example the lovely cauliflower just isn't anywhere near wings no matter how much buffalo sauce is on it.

Maybe because vegetarians are all different and not exactly the same as your DD??

I agree.

Not just vegan food maskerading as the meat equivalent, but also "corgetti" on what planet does it taste like spaghetti?!? It fucking doesn't! Cauliflower rice? ITS FUCKING BLENDED CAULIFLOWER. NOTHING LIKE RICE.

Apologies, I may be misdirecting my anger!

I don't get it either. I'm an omnivore again now, but for quite a while I was a vegetarian. I woke up one day and the very thought of the taste and texture of eating flesh revolted me and I didn't touch the stuff for about 5 years. I couldn't even walk past the meat aisle in the supermarket without heaving. I definitely wouldn't have wanted to eat something pretending to be meat.

That's why it's called courgetti not spaghetti 😁 I think. I like them mixed half and half. So nice. Makes the dish much lighter, but still filling. Wouldn't eat them by themselves again though.

But I feel you! And cauli rice doesn't taste like rice.

@CodenameVillanelle

It doesn't make sense. You can't think "yummy" and "abhorrent" about the same thing surely?

Of course it makes sense. Have you ever tried to quit smoking and failed? Or been on a diet and given in to the chocolate cake?
There are plenty of things that our logical brain doesn't want us to do but our baser instincts do. That's how it can be for a lot of people who give up meat. Also, it's just quite fun to recreate meaty meals in a veggie or vegan style! Why not? Why does it bother anyone one bit?

Coconut milk I am for some reason unsure about this one🤔 I know it's wrong, but for some reason it's fine in my head

Because coconuts look vaguely like boobs (and sometimes contain them).

It's like if I went to adopt a kitten and was given a plant with kitten's hair on it😂

Not sure that's remotely as bad as cauliflower rice.

Well @donquixotedelamancha 😂 coconut problem sorted.

No. You are right. That's worse. 😂

You know you can get those breaded turkey dinosaurs shapes for children and me?

Since turkeys are a species of dinosaurs (true, look it up), they are entirely correctly labelled.
