Please make one if not. People will unsubscribe if this community turns into food pics

@library_napper @chetradley on /r/vegan recipies are appreciated, they just weren’t the majority of the posts, just a small percentage. I’m saying this because it’s a growing sub with lots of attention and it’s working fine. Of course, there are other subs like r/VeganRecipes and r/VeganFoodPorn.

I hope you don’t unsubscribe, but I understand if this isn’t the content you come here for. One of the big reasons I post food pictures is because I think if they get a lot of traction, they might hit the “front page” and show non vegans that you can make any food vegan, so the only thing stopping you from harming animals might just be your own lack of creativity! Silly as it might sound, it feels like an outlet for activism and outreach. Let me know what you think!

In case you’re not aware what Spam is, it’s a brand of canned meat, very popular in certain countries. Sort of like sausage, but in a tin can instead of the sausage skin.

Fair question. I bought here’s the manufacturer’s site.

Honest review, next time I’ll just make my own seitan. It wasn’t the worst, but the texture was weird and the cat food smell kinda put me off to begin with.

How does it compare to real Spam? Couldn’t really say since it’s been probably almost 20 years since I’ve had it. Probably about the same if memory serves.

If you haven’t tried Omni brand, it is a very impressive SPAM substitute. Releases a lot of oil but that helps with the mimicry. Unmeat looks more like a standard luncheon meat, which itself is a poor substitute for SPAM brand luncheon meat.

Welcome

Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.

What is Veganism?

‘Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals …’

— abridged definition from The Vegan Society

Rules

The rules are subject to change, especially upon community feedback.

  1. Discrimination is not tolerated. This includes speciesism.
  2. Topics not relating to veganism are subject to removal.
  3. Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:
    • pictures of text require alt-text;
    • paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link;
    • use the original source whenever possible for a news article.
  4. Content warnings are required for triggering content.
  5. Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future.
    • before jumping into the community, we encourage you to read examples of common fallacies here.
    • if you’re asking questions about veganism, be mindful that the person on the other end is trying to be helpful by answering you and treat them with at least as much respect as they give you.
  6. Posts and comments whose contents – text, images, etc. – are largely created by a generative AI model are subject to removal. We want you to be a part of the vegan community, not a multi-head attention layer running on a server farm.
  7. Misinformation, particularly that which is dangerous or has malicious intent, is subject to removal.
