Note to social event caterers – There is a lot more to vegan food than bland salads and unseasoned roasted vegetables (and give us some protein for Pete’s sake).

I went to a work dinner tonight and successfully lobbied the caterers to raise their game. The first menu they sent over was just vegetables for the main course, just fruit/fruit sorbet for dessert. I wrote back and told them they could do better, reminded them that I have the same nutritional needs as any other grown adult etc. They came back with a tofu main course and pecan pie for dessert. Don’t ask don’t get, in my experience.

Went to a wedding a few weeks ago. My entire dinner consisted of a garden salad with three entire cherry tomatoes and half of a plain baked potato.
The rest of the guests got either some kind of beef – I think it was prime rib but who knows? Or a stuffed chicken breast. Both served with veggies and a half of a twice baked potato.
Appalling.

Now, this is some proper food porn (vegan or non vegan) 😉
OP, these are some amazing vegan options, and you’ve nailed it

Same at restaurants that have “vegan” dishes. Or they are nothing but UPFs. It’s not rocket science. Just good, flavorful, whole food! I hate that I am always relegated to a salad, when we have a meal out.

My sister had a very expensive birthday dinner. The mostly vegan appetizer platters of roasted vegetables were delicious!
Everyone then got a salad.
My main dish was then more roasted vegetables with more salad. Everyone else had steak or salmon with sides that weren’t roasted veg or salad but also weren’t vegan.
I was not offered dessert.

I just got back from a work trip during which the vegan options consistently lacked protein. And I mean, like, any protein source. We had a fancy dinner one of the nights and my fellow vegan colleague described the vegan entree perfectly as “carrots, with a side of carrots.”
We will be sharing our feedback so hopefully they do better next year.
