Guess that name is misleading. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I prefer making my own turkey substitute, using gluten, tofu, prepared seitan, whatever. They're not that difficult to make, and the whole family can participate. <BR/><BR/>I was really touched when my husband, who is in the States with our daughters, asked me what he'd need to buy to make that Vegetarian Times Unturkey thing I've made before. After he "went and married a vegetarian" he's not really regretting it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-79521932297527568932007-11-19T22:49:00.000-05:002007-11-19T22:49:00.000-05:00great post Bazu...I say the same as everyone else ...great post Bazu...I say the same as everyone else above.<BR/><BR/>also i've never had tofurky either. it just seams a little weird to me.JENNAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560901399300489543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-52726438780624412222007-11-19T19:38:00.000-05:002007-11-19T19:38:00.000-05:00extremely thought-provoking, insightful post Bazu ...extremely thought-provoking, insightful post Bazu - Thanksgiving is quite bittersweet for me; I love the tradition of getting together with a large group of family and friends for a celebration, but I do not agree with what Thanksgiving basically represents (urban vegan's comment above, sums it up quite well).LizNoVeggieGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785142908687097216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-6456809292438175752007-11-19T17:13:00.000-05:002007-11-19T17:13:00.000-05:00I hate how Thanksgiving has come to represent a ma...I hate how Thanksgiving has come to represent a mass turkey slaughterfest--just as Xmas has become a kosher materialistic binge.

The history makes me ill, really.<BR/><BR/>In fact, I was going to forget Thanksgiving altogether this year, despite my family's protests. But then I thought about it. Can't I use this day off from work as an excuse to cook a great meal, spend time with family and really appreciate the things we have in our lives? Yes, I can! So that's what I'm going to do. <BR/><BR/>I love reading your blog. We have many of the same views!Ashasaralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082289090991930433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-45424318172161709702007-11-19T16:28:00.000-05:002007-11-19T16:28:00.000-05:00This is my favorite post of yours so far, Bazu.

There's a way in which people can accomodate you without making you feel particularly welcome or accepted, and this ad hit the nail on the head in terms of expressing that tone (I thought). <BR/><BR/>And I can't believe how many vegans haven't tried Tofurky! I plan to bog about my vegan Thanksgiving memories today, I think, and Tofurky definitely figures prominently. ;)TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644211871681782561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-199044592129796062007-11-19T11:33:00.000-05:002007-11-19T11:33:00.000-05:00I thought the same thing Vegan Noodle did.

The line about how "my son WENT and married a vegetarian" bothered me but I was willing to let it slide for the small amount of veggie love that Citibank was showing. Until you revealed the last sentence. WTF? WHY??? So unecessary.<BR/><BR/>I'm almost ashamed to admit this but I felt a little teary-eyed seeing that cartoon. Why oh why don't people make the connection? And if/when they do why don't they care?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-16271525521592102602007-11-19T10:33:00.000-05:002007-11-19T10:33:00.000-05:00Wow interesting post Bazu.

I think I would have been shocked to open the magazine and find all that.<BR/><BR/>Yeah I've never had tofurkey either, but it's awesome to see that alternatives to Turkey are actually being advertised.<BR/><BR/>Oh and the citi add. Womyn can be vegetarians, but don't think for a second that a man can go without his meat- not even for a day!

But I got a coupon yesterday so I figured I'd try one out (though not on thanksgiving day, too cliche for me I guess). <BR/><BR/>I thought it was typical how the citi card add started with "my son WENT and married a vegetarian" as if she were some kind of freak. I think last year at Thanksgiving I was still prety new to veganism, but this year it seems like there have been so many questions, jokes, etc. I am trying to make Thanksgiving about spending time with family and showing the world how amazing vegan food can be. Looking forward to your next post on the subject!Vegan_Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946796454115691643noreply@blogger.com
