Cauliflower: It’s having a moment. You can’t swing a cat in a grocery store without hitting a frozen cauliflower “pizza crust”,“tots” or “gnocchi” and the godmother of them all, cauliflower “rice.” Restaurants are serving whole cauliflower “roasts” and grilled cauliflower “steaks.” Now for people who need to eat…

In February, Munchies sent someone to Sweden to try the new IKEA vegan hot dog, then only available in the Bistro in the chain’s Malmö location. The writer’s verdict was mixed, but the dog seems to have been a hit regardless—selling 1 million hot dogs in a month in Europe, according to VegNews. As of this week, that…

We reported earlier on KFC’s goals to have healthier menu options available in Britain by 2020, with a decrease of 20 percent in average meal calorie counts by 2025. Some of the options bandied about included sugar-free-only drinks, healthier sides, and vegetarian options. There, we were stumped: vegetarian options?…

French fries are the vegetarian’s last resort. When all the sandwiches on a menu contain meat and even the side of Brussels sprouts is fried in bacon, trusty fries are there like a port in a storm. Unless they’re fried in beef tallow.

I quit eating meat in the mid ’90s, back when vegetarian options at most restaurants where I grew up in rural Michigan were limited to mac ‘n’ cheese and those baskets of crackers that come with soup. There were no veggie burgers (much less “bleeding” ones) or chick’n tenders or any of the other exciting meat analogs…

Just don’t call it bacon. That’s the position some European politicians and meat industry groups have taken as they’ve recently called on vegetarian “meat” companies to, for the love of brisket, please stop branding their products as meat.

Thanksgiving sides are insidiously meaty. Chicken broth sneaks into mashed potatoes, or Brussels sprouts take a quick dip in some bacon fat. Even dishes that look to be, you know, vegetables often contain concealed ingredients that make them off-limits to vegetarians. In search of actual…
