So, I was reading over some messages from folks about ways
to change (not improve, mind you, my just shot venison deer stew. You can’t
improve on perfection!) and I saw more than one mention of “vegan” versions of the
dish. I wasn’t sure what that was but my friend Joyce who tends bar at the VFW told
me all about this. And I’m not going to tell lies. It kind of blew my little
mind to bits. Apparently, there is a segment of the population in the U S of A
that have this eating disorder where they can’t eat meat! O, M, G. Where to
begin? Can you imagine a lifetime of eating nothing but side dishes? Imagine
looking at that empty space on your plate every time you sit down to a meal. My
heart bleeds for these folks something fierce. I’m going to have to pick Joyce’s
brain some more, cause, let me tell you, I was so discombobulated (spellcheck
said this was right) that I ended up throwing down way more glasses of Schlitz
than I normally do, and I might have missed some details. Bottom line: Veganism
is real. Vegan Just Shot Deer Stew is not. I need to close the light and take a
lie down for a while!
