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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's pretty easy to make at home too. I make vegan orange chicken often.

Edit: the downvotes you get the minute you mention the "v-word" are hilarious. Some of you people are so touchy about a stranger on the internet just having a nice time and eating whatever food he wants to, god damn.

Is it the chickens that are vegan?

No, in that case, it would be orange vegan chicken. The oranges are vegans.

It is the chicken that's vegan, yes.

But insects are a natural part of a chicken's diet.

These beyond chickens eat beyond insects

Cauliflower or some kind of texturized vegetable protein?

I usually buy the gardein nuggets as they have a really good texture for it. You can use the big TVP chunks. If you do, you should hydrate it in stock with a splash of vinegar, press the moisture out, sautee in lots of fat until a good sear develops, and then coat in breadcrumbs or corn-starch and fry.

I'll do tofu as well. You have to buy good tofu though, not that mealy garbage in the plastic container full of water.

Fried cauliflower is delicious, but devoid of protein, so I never use it here as I don't want to be hungry in an hour.
