LOL... great minds... or maybe appetites?

I may have tried tempeh many years ago... I found many vegetarians back then couldn't cook worth a d*mn... which was very disappointing. Eating should not be some kind of penance, in my opinion.

Being half Italian, I grew up eating fresh vegetables and salads with meat as a balanced part of the meal. I never encountered the meat and potato menu until I went away to college... boy, put on a few pounds that first semester.   

The hubby thought he hated broccoli, until I steamed it for him with fresh lemon juice squirted on it. He didn't realize it's supposed to be green, not grey and mushy... lol.

What will always baffle me is vegetarian bologna or salami... big bucks for a few measley slices. WTF?
