Vegan Versions of Venison?

 

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!
