Vegan Smoked Salmon + Cream Cheese // Recipe Test

[@JoZoLiMe]

I made "salmon" with carrots but used a different recipe. I wrapped the carrots in nori before putting them in the oven with the salt. Then I used a different marinade, no liquid smoke, but flaxseed oil and some other ingredients I cant remember. It tasted just like the real thing!

[@kungpaopizza2126]

You ate carrots 🥕 u fool!

[@8lagarto8]

Could You write it down here? How long did You wrap the carrots in nori?thanks

[@AbigaleKirsten]

@@kungpaopizza2126 they literally just said that so..

[@user-ug9ly2fd7d]

@@kungpaopizza2126 congrats you can read

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Important: Both recipes include liquid smoke, but I forgot to mention that in my voiceover! Ooops. Thanks to everyone who pointed this out. :)

[@perhoshai]

Add about 2 teaspoons to the marinade

[@beans2222]

Heidi H 2 teaspoons?!! Is that right? I use 2 drops for about a liter of marinade 😂 teaspoons seems like an awful lot in this!

[@perhoshai]

Yep, it says in the original recipes teaspoons 😂 I'm too lazy to measure so I always just pour a lot of it

[@mirandamayhem1757]

Try tofutti cream cheese!

[@CalvinKrause]

Tip: If you want something to taste like fish, add flax seed oil!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Whoa, I need to try this! Plus the omegas. :D This is a great idea.

[@ErykaSoleil]

That's a really helpful tip, thank you!

[@legalizemurder1]

or old bay seasoning

[@nastigyal152]

actually linseed oil do a batter job with that

[@CalvinKrause]

Nastigyal linseed oil = flaxseed oil :)

[@zabelconnor]

cream cheese = blend soft silkin tofu with a dash of white or apple cider vinegar and salt until smooth, then chill. i like dill mixed in.

[@kajani5706]

have to try it out. thx!!

[@sunriseschild]

I'm surprised no one has suggested nutritional yeast flakes! They add a cheesy hint to food.

[@danhoyt8245]

NO TOFU, it is fake food and full of chemicals. Cashew, salt and fresh lemon juice is the best!

[@delena747]

Dan Hoyt how is tofu fake food? It’s literally just soy beans and water

[@ES11777]

Amber Eff Contact your doctor.

[@youtubeguy9346]

Oh man what can i say... THIS WAS DELICIOUS. Tasted like lox only sweeter. Texture was a lot like lox, but you have to let it sit in the fridge for a few days. I made it without liquid smoke but it was still so delicious. Had it on a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese. This recipe really is a winner.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Awesome! Haha nice profile pic too.

[@youtubeguy9346]

***** Lmao! I just thought it was a very funny picture of Vegan Gains. :D

[@AbbyAndrew]

soo trying this omg smoked salmon is definitely one of those things I've missed over the years

[@LeaSenMusic]

same here! christmas was hard without smoked salmon

[@lordmeric3180]

Léa Fourlin just eat the fish rather the. eat salted carrots salt alone kill the point of being a vegan

[@alolune]

Can you explain what you mean by salt not being vegan?

[@jussa101]

alo I think he means from the health point of viewsf

[@sengasengana]

"salt alone kill the point of being a vegan" I think you don't understand the meaning of the term "vegan".

[@alexissalazarr]

Vegan smoked salmon?!?! You've saved my life & sanity!!

[@imaniyup7908]

Alexis Salazar same I was going crazy

[@lordmeric3180]

imani Thomas just eat the damn fish god damn it

[@imaniyup7908]

Lord Meric lmaoooo I'll take a pass on that

[@phoeline]

Why would she eat it if she has a moral problem with that? It's like saying go kill your friend, when he annoys you so much. I seriously wonder why people have so much hard time understanding vegans, it's not about the taste, it's about that you don't want a living creature to be harmed for your pleasure (taste). How is that hard to understand or viewed badly?

[@BeforeULeave1]

Lord Meric why should she?

[@flapinflmingos]

People who keep commenting about why you are calling it smoked salmon when it isn’t, doesn’t understand that it is a mimic for the flavor. If you titled the video carrots and tomatoes no one would know what you were trying to accomplish. It is completely ok to call something vegan smoked salmon because the “vegan” part LITERALLY MEANS THIS IS NOT REAL SMOKED SALMON don’t get butt hurt over a name.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Karyn Samaniego amen 🙏

[@polong99]

So its carrot right? So name it carrot.. Stop misleading people

[@cartonet8186]

Yeah, but doesn't that also imply that fish is a delicious thing. I mean she doesn't try to mimic the flavor of trash, because trash is unpalatable, and yet people are trying to say that fish, meats, milk and egg are disgusting, even though they all taste delicious.

[@MISFITNESS-x]

the problem is trying to pass this off as a substitute for real salmon... it has literally nothing in common with salmon. theres no protein at all. its just bread and a bit of vegtables.

[@cizzlebot]

@Karlton est - No one is saying those things *taste* disgusting. Everyone knows they taste good, hence why people try to make vegan alternatives that resemble the real thing. However, what's "disgusting" about the real thing is that it comes from a thinking, feeling creature which has been exploited or killed against its will, and that does not sit well with a lot of people. No creature should have to suffer for our *temporary* enjoyment. Hope that clarifies things! :)

[@MsAmandaKatelyn]

Great video! I appreciate how honest you were when describing how they tasted. Instead of others who hype up how it supposedly tastes exactly like "salmon" or "cream cheese". Also love all the suggestion you made. Definitely trying this, thank-you!

[@TheDjuske]

I love carrot salmon! I was curious about the tomato one, because some people said it was more texturally similar to fish, but I really really can't stand the taste of tomatoes, so after hearing your review I think I'm gonna drop it. Great video :)

[@melissaannrivera4102]

I am not vegan at all, but vegan and vegetarian recipes are just so damn interesting! I def need to try this recipe.

[@LeeLee-wx2rb]

Melissa Ann Rivera it is interesting as a chef. Seeing what you can use to replace what is so cool.

[@Sc-xq3uv]

Melissa Ann Rivera I am a meat lover but I keep watching these videos they are pretty interesting

[@ZrozexGames]

Melissa Ann Rivera I mean you don't gotta be vegan to enjoy vegan food Oreos are vegan and they even out do the dairy filled store cookies A lot of vegetarians use avocado instead of diary butter and even meat eaters do that on toast

[@shawndarling5855]

Melissa Ann Rivera Go ahead if you like heavily salted oven baked carrots with a side of cancer causing liquid smoke.

[@genregurl]

Or you can just stick to your toxin filled, commercially farmed fish. Your choice.

[@ckgoetzke]

l've tried both the carrot and tomato versions and also liked the carrot better due to the texture. The last time I added a couple drops of liquid smoke to the marinade and it was awesome . Also, you can usually find kelp granules at Whole Foods in the Asian food section. It comes in a little shaker bottle. And the flakes are really tiny so they blend in well . Great video as always ☺

[@jessdrawsit7060]

I was thinking about liquid smoke as she was putting the recipes together - I was surprised they didn't require a dash of it.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Whoops! They actually both did require liquid smoke; for some reason just forgot it when writing the voiceover for that part. It was definitely a crucial ingredient.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Ahhh I will check out Whole Foods next time! I appreciate that.

[@elliotwalsh3339]

if you can't find kelp granules, you can buy kombu/kelp/dashima (same seaweed different names) and just grind it in a food processor till you have a fine powder. It's so cheap and does the job.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

+Elliot Walsh Thank you! I will try that next time. Looks like I need to get me to an Asian market and stock up on some kelp.

[@AndStand13]

I'm not vegan, but I love to cook vegan and veg dishes during the week. I love salmon, and this carrot salmon was really delicious.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Ah right on, that's awesome!

[@mohnisamaze]

You should also make a video about the best way to create a KZbin video and keep your audience engaged. You don't slowly ramble on with useless commentary but instead get to the point, keeping the information moving. You're just adorable and yet precise and efficient in the structure of what you have to say. I appreciate that. And btw, great video. Thank you for making getting a vegan more enjoyable!

[@missgreece91]

Wow! I was obsessed with this recipe Sarah! Thank you so so much for showing us this recipe. Finally a video and recipe thats not so repetitive like other youtubers who keeps repeating same recipes and ingredients. This is soo much different , i love it! I subscribed right away

[@racheltison6333]

I'm a pescatarian (I still eat fish) and am going vegan once I'm done with my last few fish foods in the fridge this month. Can't believe this is a thing, salmon is the only thing I'll be missing. Thank you thank you this may save my life! (And the fishes' :D)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Yay congrats on making the transition! This for sure hits the spot. I might try it again in thicker pieces to see if I can replicate my favorite dish -- teriyaki salmon!

[@spanishDoll1]

you are awesome, you are saving lives

[@jayyyzeee6409]

I was pescatarian for a long time. Sushi, lox, and eel soba was holding me back. I've found great vegan sushi restaurants. And now we have carrot lox. Such a great time to be vegan!

[@SNEAKO15]

[@shawndarling5855]

[@tamitorossian7285]

I highly recommend the kite hill cream cheese! It is the closest cream cheese alternative on the market in my opinion!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I tried it once awhile back and remember liking it a lot! Need to pick it up again next time I make my way to Whole Foods.

[@susunslatky9278]

Tami Torossian: I was going to say the same thing. Kite Hill cream cheese is amazing!

[@M00NdaYn]

I was going to say this. We don't have a Whole Foods anywhere near here, but when I was in San Fran, I made it a mission to get some Kite Hill, I fell in LOOOOOVE. OMG. I wish I could get it here =(

[@mila.inthewoods]

@Sarah's Vegan Kitchen, have you tried Go Veggie vegan chive cream cheese?!?!? IT'S SO GOOD.

[@willowrain671]

Tami Torossian Kite Hill is definitely the best I've tried so far

[@GamingFoodie]

I have been on a cream cheese hunt as well. And the closest I've found is Kite Hill (which is almond base). The chive flavor one is so super good. The texture is spot on. A little bit of an almond background flavor but can't really tell on an everything bagel (also agreed, best bagel). Can't wait to try this. Been really missing this breakfast and looking for an alternative.

[@16Eboni2]

Mezasu. it is my favorite vegan cream cheese hella expensive tho $6.99 😳.

[@KJellyBeanut]

Smoked salmon was literally my favourite food of all time! Thank you for this!

[@pantraplays7807]

But the recipes have to (at least they should) be vegan to call them vegan though....... haha

[@sandryasilva5744]

@martinecarina I don't think I understood your comment. did you watch the video??? This is a 100 % vegan recipe. the "Salmon" is actually carrots or tomatoes. She made the two versions.

[@laurieparis2203]

You might try the carrot recipe, since that's the best texture, with the addition of powdered kelp, which adds a "sea" flavor? Just put a piece of kelp or nori in a spice/coffee grinder to make a powder. 🌱

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I was thinking this would be a great idea. Next time for sure!

[@laurieparis2203]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen ...after I left that suggestion, I thought of another (ain't that the way?)... ha... perhaps a few drops of "liquid smoke", or a smoked paprika in the marinade may give the carrot lox a smokey flavor as well?🌱

[@ryno1509]

Laurie Paris she put liquid smoke in it she forgot to say in the video

[@laurieparis2203]

ryan shannon Ya, I think that would really help! 🌱

[@shawndarling5855]

ryan shannon That is pretty much putting cancer in your food.

[@quitedankly3342]

Only reason I'm not vegetarian is literally because how much I love seafood and sushiiiii

[@MyLast2Braincells84]

Andrea Roa there are people who only eat seafood and not other meats. If you love seafood over other stuff then just stick with that.

[@LizziexParty]

pescatarian!

[@ChiaraSupernova]

You could be pescatarian! That's where I'm at right now. I'd say 95-98% of what I eat is vegan depending on the week but once a month or so I still have some sushi. Giving up meat was easy for me but fish will definitely be the hardest for me to quit, if I ever even can....

[@ayeshasiddiqa6147]

Andrea Roa

[@jayyyzeee6409]

I completely understand. I was pescatarian for a long time, and I had a few false starts with veganism over a 1 year period, but once went vegan, I never looked back and I have no regrets. Find a vegan sushi bar and make vegan lox out of carrots.

[@drums4metal]

Wow, this is the first time I see any of your videos and I definitely subscribed. Carrot substituting salmon really blew my mind, loved the video. I'm not vegan but I will try making this to try it since smoked salmon is hard to find and expensive where I live.

[@giggles2302]

I'm not vegan, and don't plan on becoming one, but the carrot one looked really good and I'd be more than happy to try it. Glad you found something that gives you at least some of the satisfaction of your non-vegan favorite grub. :)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

That's the idea! Thanks for having an open mind.

[@Springfairy92]

You should go vegan! :) Every vegan would tell you it's the best choice they ever made.

[@stephaniesantos78]

i thought both tofutti and daiya cream cheese are really good substitutes and taste pretty much identical to the real thing. i'm obsessed with the herby blends they both have!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Gahh I know, garlic and chive cream cheese used to be my fave! The herbs make everything better.

[@16Eboni2]

try the kite hill taste like the real thing the problem with the daiya original cream cheese it when I buy it it has the texture of ricotta cheese for some reason which is perfect for a lasagna but on a bagel.

[@leeleebirdd]

Try peeling the carrots before you cook them! That should help 🤗

[@sayuas4293]

Cool, this should be good for sushi.

GetTheInsideRight girl, go plant based except from the salmon then if it's hard for you!

[@PennyGetsItTogether]

I'll try both. I would like to be 100% plant-based, and that's my goal. If I find that I can't stay away from salmon which I eat maybe 2x per month, then I'll just do that. Thanks for the advice.

[@AliciaMarieWexler]

I've never even wanted smoked salmon and I feel like I NEED to try this! What awesome substitutes!

[@Mitters]

I tried the vegan carrot lox, and used flaxseed/grapeseed oil mix instead, and OMFG it's INSANE! 😍 I served it with a toasted multigrain bagel, plain sunflower seed cream cheeze (the closest I've found to "real" cream cheese, taste and texture), capers, a little diced red onion (raw), lemon zest, dried dill, black pepper, a little squeeze of lemon juice. It felt like the real thing ! I messed up the cuts of the carrots so it definitely looked like carrots 😂, but taste and texture was on par with the best lox I've had. It doesn't do well as a stand alone to be "smoked salmon", but with all the fixings, it's PERFECT.

[@LaSopRAWna]

i'm a jewish girl raised on smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels so both halves of your sandwich made my mouth water!!!! looks so good, can't wait to try them both!

Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe! I made the carrot recipe for christmas dinner (my family were having smoked salmon as an appetizer so it was the perfect opportunity). I added some dulse flakes in the marinade and used a mixture of olive oil and linseed oil. It came out amazing. I served them on blinis with cream cheese, red onion, fresh dill and a dash of lemon juice. All of my family ended up wanting to try it and they were amazed!

How long will the cheese remain fresh if refrigerated?

[@jouency3033]

Maria McLaughlin it is better to consume within one week~~ but I left my yogurt two week and it just more sour than the first time you made. Still ok to consume.

[@MostLikelyDreaming]

not homemade, but the tofutti cream cheese was something i found at the store one time and i thought it tasted pretty similar to actual cream cheese. the brand also has a good sour cream. i was able to feed snacks with both of these in them at my family's new year's party and it went over well! idk if the brand is just in the US or if it's in other countries, but it's something to try!

[@caydenlastming8982]

That vegan lox sounds amazing! It's so hard to find vegan fish, especially anything that tastes like smoked salmon. I've been vegan for six years and lox is one of the things I really miss from the "before" days. I'll have to give it a try!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

6 years! That's awesome. I wish I had discovered this lifestyle sooner.

No liquid smoke? A drop of liquid smoke should make them taste more legit.

My sisters are lactose intolerant, and I am feeling that cream cheese recipe.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I recommend it! I already finished eating that batch lol. :D

[@MissBonchy]

Okay, I gotta be honest, I was like "mhmm sure sure" when she said "the mouth feel is very similar" but I just made the carrot salmon and holyyy fucking shit - it's insanely good. The mouthfeel IS so similar. Texture is spot on! I only used the oil, soy sauce and vinegar mixture as shown in the video but I'm thinking about buying liquid smoke to add next time and it would be bomb AF. I can't get over how freakin amazing this is. Thank you Sarah!

Yo Sarah, made this today, is was ON POINT!!! 💪👌 Just found your channel and I'm loving it! Cheers.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

So glad you loved it!

[@madelinevicioso7980]

is there another way to make it with carrot? I don't want to waste so much salt

[@suzykaragosian6453]

madeline vicioso shred the carrot first and then let it marinade

[@mandypants9936]

madeline vicioso use kosher salt it's pretty cheap usually $3 or less for a 3-5 pound box depending on where you get it, diamond usually has the bigger of the boxes for cheap. And this is what you would use it for, and salting water when boiling and such and save your good salt for finishing of dishes

[@perhoshai]

If you make your carrots with rough salt, you can actually store the used salt in an airtight container. The way I prefer doing the carrots is to let them sit in an 0,8% salt water overnight (0.8dl salt in 1l water) and the next day boil the carrots in the same salt water until carrots are done :-)

[@puropinchepretty]

Salt is so inexpensive, though. You're not wasting it if you use it to scrub shower grout or cast iron pans afterwards...

[@diamonddblackify]

Oh my goodness, these smoked salmon substitutes would be perfect in a sushi roll as a substitute for salmon and the same for the cashew cream cheese

[@Lillithstoneofficial]

The tofutti brand cream cheese is just like real cream cheese

[@kaltrina.cuisine]

wow that looked so delicious 😍 thanks for sharing

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

It was pretty good! Thanks for leaving a sweet comment. :)

[@buzzingbuzz9309]

Vegan logic: Salmon is orange - Carrots are orange, so they can replace salmon. Spot on nutrition knowledge

[@lillyflower3415]

What.. does this have to do with nutrition? It's about making it TASTE like salmon. Which, by the way, it does.

[@austingulotta9817]

How carrot-like is it? I hate the taste of cooked carrots. Also, kite hill makes a great vegan cream cheese.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I could only tell it was carrots when I ate it alone. Combined with the other things, not so much. I also hate when carrots are mushy and super sweet.

[@austingulotta9817]

Okay, cool! Thanks for the reply. I'll give the recipe a shot some time soon, but I'm quite terrified about them having too strong of that cooked carrot-ness to them. I've never been able to escape it! Except in vegan nacho cheese :P

[@beans2222]

For anyone wondering!: i did the carrot thing by putting a carrot in a plate with a bit of water and salt(just a pinch) and "marinated" it for just like 5 minutes and it turned out tasting GREAT and same texture and taste as salmon!!! Also, i was craving a bagel but had no cream cheese so i used an avocado with a pinch of sugar and S&P on it and there wasnt a big difference! Yummy

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Thank you! I lost my vegan lox recipe recently. I grew up Jewish in a Jewish neighborhood, and loved lox and cream cheese on a bagel. Having made the carrot lox (w/liquid smoke), I can testify that it is as good as the real lox. I was kvelling!

@You can't leave this empty Look at the title: Vegan Salmon...

[@doctorwhite5919]

@You can't leave this empty Create an island of reason aka. Logic inside that sea of emotion that it seems your biology enslaved you with... I wish you good luck on that

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

That’s soooo much salt though holy shit

[@elizabethroa6970]

I need to buy smoked salmon NOW

[@elizabethroa6970]

Also I think you should wait till the carrot's cool to peel it

[@cadaver6665]

I made the carrot lax just as you did and it turned out INEDIBLE because it was so salty! But on the second try I just boiled carrots in salt water, sliced them and then put them to marinade and it turned out fine

[@Blaaahhhhhhhh-z3p]

in order to make it more cream cheese like you must add lemon juice (fresh) or apple cider vinegar. the lemon with Provide the base for sourness and the apple cider vinegar will provide over the course of its transition a more powerful cream cheese flavor and smell. they work incredibly well together. I'd say adding about 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar 1 tsp lemon or more depending on your liking. love the vid.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I did end up adding some lemon juice, nutritional yeast and herbs and it was so good! Next time I'll try the ACV.

[@ryalau7211]

These things confuse me. If you go vegan, just eat vegan things? why mimic the flavour of meat when you could just eat something made or modified to be vegan? it tastes way better than weird knockoff salmon

[@ryalau7211]

@Robert Medak it never tastes anything like the real thing tho? from what ive tried at least. the texture is always weird and the flavor is off

[@flippityfloppitytheschools8018]

Mmmm so good it really taste like salmon *tear sheds down her face*

[@sabirahg2537]

this would taste even better if you added cream cheese and smoked salmon

[@UCkFvZiCmKQ34UOsW8pJ4TDg]

Leikar Lam where? All I see is vegetables.

[@sugarpop7377]

Sabirah Gallie they clearly crave the food , enough to try to emulate it . Shame the can't get the goodness ....

[@SanderPool]

I like the way you really go into what you like and do not like about the recipes and the results. Smoked salmon is something I'll miss but to be honest I'm not sure I'm going to try to kid myself by making carrot taste like it. I think it will just remind me of the yummy lox I'm not having :) The whole fake cheese thing is a turn-off for now although I love snacking on roasted cashews and almonds. I can see how the liquid smoke is a crucial ingredient in both recipes. I'll add that the first time I went vegan I failed because I did not make/eat enough substitutes. Mostly tofu and that got old really quickly. Now I'm having TVP, tempeh, tofy, quorn, gardein, seitan and of course lots of veggies, legumes etc. It's been easier to combine vegan eating with family dinner time. So maybe I need to give the carrot lox a try.

[@nelB84]

Ive made the carrots twice and they are amazing! Thanks so much for sharing

[@Miss_cin2]

Is carrots and tomatoes just don’t call it salmon

[@lillyflower3415]

She didn't call it salmon. It's vegan salmon.

[@frietpan8917]

What is up with vegans that still want their meals to taste like an animal?

[@thatonekid1732]

I mean, they don't not eat meat because of the taste, mostly because of moral (or health) reasons. Most people like the taste of meat/cheese etc :P

[@lillyflower3415]

Because animals taste good?

[@BaradaNels]

So . . . where's the Salmon?

[@jayyyzeee6409]

In your ears.

[@shawndarling5855]

BaradaNels That is a great question I didn't see any salmon

[@carolinacanalcocina72]

Es una imitación, lean bien el titulo. Los veganos jugamos con la comida e innovamos nuevos platos que nos recuerdan a lo que comiamos antes.

[@ahood320]

THANK YOU! For not giving your videos some long, painfully drawn out intro and outro. I’ll definitely be watching your vids more often! :-)

[@chele850]

Just found your channel- love you! Diggin your sincerity. I used to eat lox all the time! I HIGHLY suggest next time you add capers- their salty like the ocean and add great flavor!! Thanks so much for sharing this and can't wait to see more from you :)

[@ariannaholmes8529]

them carrots are not carrots no more they just pure cholesterol

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Only animal products contain cholesterol. #sheblindedmewithscience

[@ariannaholmes8529]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen oh i thought the reason animal products had cholesterol in it was because they contain salt

[@emmaadams-loraine2536]

Arianna Holmes That's sodium :)

[@ariannaholmes8529]

E. AMW well now i feel dumb af

[@cupcakelove3258]

Arianna Holmes lmao

[@love.and.peace8]

You need to eat real salmon and seafood.It's tasty!

Why call it salmon or steak or hotdogs etc. They're carrots. What's the matter, vegans. Tired of grass and grains so you try to mimic the flavors of meat?

[@lauranichols2027]

Nik O... The amount of stupidity in your comment, lol. I'm not vegan but just because someone chooses to become vegan it doesn't stop them from craving foods they grew up on, or missing certain non-vegan dishes, so they make vegan alternatives so they can continue to not harm animals and eat foods that are similar to the ones they enjoyed before becoming vegan...

[@lauranichols2027]

Nik O , and does that make them weak because they miss salmon, steak, hotdogs?!

[@Mark-im8hl]

Laura Nichols The irony in your comment. So they go vegan and still crave the flavor of "non-vegan" dishes. Jesus you can't even say the word meat. Just listen to how this sounds, vegans don't want to harm animals but miss their flavor lmao

[@lauranichols2027]

Mark Alvarez... I'm not going to say "meat" because vegan dishes is about any animal/sentient being products and a non-vegan dish could be something that substitutes eggs/dairy and has no meat at all (vegan cheese, eggs, etc). The irony?! It isn't about not enjoying the taste of meat/animal products it's about not wanting to harm any living/sentient beings. You can still love bacon but you don't want to kill a pig.. it really isn't ironic, it's ethical. That's why vegans don't eat or use any products (makeup, toiletries, clothing, etc) that harm/use animals/sentient beings. I'm not even vegan but it really isn't that hard of a concept to grasp if you have half a brain!

[@ltgriffith85]

Taking the moral/ethical reason as to why someone would want to be vegan completely out of the equation... why still call it "salmon?" I understand people choose to follow a vegan diet because they do not agree with how animals are raised or how animal-based products are made. No judgement - you do what's best for you! I am confused about why people still call it "vegan chicken/beef/eggs/cheese/etc." Why not call it "smoked carrots with cashew spread on a bagel?" I would still try it. Sounds delicious. If people who choose to go vegan want to separate themselves from the world of animal-based foods, why the insistence on still using animal-based names? Again, truly, no judgement against those who give up animal products OR those who continue to eat them - it's just honest curiosity. :)

[@tayloralexandra4557]

Yum! That looks awesome, can't wait to try making the carrot version :)

[@DorianParpari]

I can't do the cashews, but the carrot option seems like a good one to try. I loved smoked salmon with lemon cream cheese. Thanks for posting this :)
