Vegan Butchers in Texas...

Any of our Texas members stopped by?

Additionally, there’s meatless brisket that permits Texans to enjoy all the smoky flavor of their national food without the beef. This plant-powered protein features jackfruit, seasoned with vegan beef stock, red miso paste, tahini, vegan Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and an assortment of spices. It is then topped with vegan barbecue sauce to complete the experience.

Looking for a grass-fed beef option. Would that just be grass?

For those of you not familiar with all things Texas the goal in Austin is "Keep Austin Weird". They are very good at it.

It's California outreach!

[Oak Smoke]

ofelles your California out reach is killing my property taxes. The folks from California are moving here and paying full asking price on nice homes. That drives the taxable value of my home through the roof. Property taxes have doubled in 3 years.

spent a few hours in Austin, there's some cool stuff as a result of the "weird" culture, and I am not opposed to neighborhoods being full of different houses... BUT, I would never live there. It's like the part of San Fran where most of my family lived, but even more extreme. The only other place I've been to like that was Portland... I'm happy living in the sticks

I'm on board with butchering veggies. When it comes to tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, onions, garlic, etc. I'm a regular serial killer all summer long...

[rickgregory]

I think it's an interesting thing (there's a place in Minneapolis like this) but seeing it in *Texas*? Even in Austin??

[58limited]

As a Texan, having this in Austin does not surprise me in the least. More power to them, its just not for me.

I’ve had it but something just didn’t look right on the plate🤔

[jfmorris]

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them Sam I Am!

[JohnPaul]

This was the very first thing I thought of when I read Vegan Butcher. LOL carry on my Vegetarian friends.

[Texas Larry]

That would be a nope. BTW check out the Eat More Vegans YouTube channel. Takes it in a different direction.🤣 https://youtu.be/RtwZMg5cQSw

At work we have a "celebration roast" for vegans.
Unfortunate parents of vegans shell out bucks for it.
Feast or Fast is my motto.

It’s unimaginative to create new food items and hijack the name of foods that already exist.

[FireMan]

Butcher- 1. A person that slaughters animals or dresses their flesh. 2. A dealer in meat.
Legumier chef- someone who chops/cuts vegetables.
None of this meatless butcher cwap. Nuff said.
Yes I know Nuff.

Moral of this story: Ya can play with words all ya want, you can also put lipstick on a pig and it is a pig. Somebody who works with meat, is a butcher. Somebody who slices & chops veggies is, well, a legumier, some little French name fer a carrot cutter. Not that there is anything wrong with the French. ✌️😎🤔

[bardsleyque]

I thought maybe they're butchering vegan's, but who would buy that?

[58limited]

Hey, They're grass fed!

You folks in Austin, be sure and ask them for it at Franklin's and if you're still alive and kicking afterward, let us know what they said.

I’ve heard jackfruit "pulled pork" is pretty decent. I’ve got a few Veggies in my family that I keep meaning to make that for. Haven’t gotten around to it yet.

[rickgregory]

It is. Use the canned stuff (Asian markets have it usually). Jackfruit has no real taste, but the texture is close to pulled pork. There's a bunch of recipes out there and it assumes you sauce it too but we usually do that for pulled pork, so...

remember that it has no fat, so you need to add some in order for it to have the right mouthfeel.

[JCBBQ]

Gotta admit this sounds snd looks pretty good.
