A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Traditional Worchestershire sauce also contains fish.
All Worcestershire sauce. It's fermented anchovy sauce with some spices.
Anything that doesn't have the anchovy, isn't Worcestershire sauce.
You can have anchovy free Worcestershire sauces. It's actually a generic term for a class of fermented sauces, many have anchovies, but it is not a requirement
and the vegan version tastes exactly the same
It's not bad, it's not too far off and can be subsituted in most situations, but it's certainly not exactly the same.
Plenty of vegan Worcestershire sauces available, just like there's vegan cheese and butter and milk and sausages and burgers and nuggets..
You being a pedant/snob/militant carnivore/whatever isn't going to stop people making vegan versions of things and calling them the thing. Because there's no reason not to other than the hurt fee fees of people like you.
There are vegan sauces that are quite nice, sure, they're just not Worcestershire sauce.
Hell, I'll go further and say that if it's not made by Lea and Perrins, it's not Worcestershire sauce.
Why are vegans obsessed with making cheap knockoff versions of nonvegan food? Cant they make their own foods?
most food is "vegan food". have you ever had a potato?
I have which is why I don’t understand eg vegan burgers
why are carnists obsessed with stuffing intestinal linings with churned up flesh to make their food shaped like zucchini?
It would be weird if we called it carnivore zucchini. We don’t.
You’re welcome to call veggie burgers their own thing. They don’t need to be veggie burgers. Or vegan bacon. You can just call it “processed vegetable paste planks” or whatever gets your rocks off, honey. You don’t get to criticize us for our choice of food and also work as hard as you can to mimic that food, no matter how self-righteous you feel.
how do you know someone eats animal flesh and excretions? don't worry, they'll tell you.
Just gonna insult me then?
Kk sweeite. Great look. Such class.
Is it because you don’t know the answer to my question or because saying the answer out loud makes you feel ashamed?
ha! love it. I'm just messing with you, it's clear you haven't really thought any of this through; culture changes and I get that it can feel scary that you're being left behind.
I’m not vegan, but I smell that burn like a barbecue is nearby.
Cause that way you can eat mac and cheese with hot dogs drowned in mayo without killing animals.
Most vegans don't do it for the health benefits, that's just an excuse to tell others.
