Veggiestein

Last night for Hinduzilla's (thus named for his hinduism as well as propensity to swipe helicopters out of the sky and breathe radioactiveness on buildings) birthday we went to Vegetarian's Paradise 2. I was immediately struck by the large menu, that had many food choices...there was chicken dishes, beef, seafood, duck. But how could this be? Dynamo and I, in a show of our true intellect, were both perplexed every time we saw "crab" as an ingredient. Apparently, veggie-heads, as they often call each other, like to play god with their food. They take these vegetables that they so love, and create a Frankenstein like meat out of them. Soy becomes chicken nuggets, or some random protein on a sugarcane to resemble a drumstick, or slices of duck, complete with artificial skin on it. While completely indigestible by the average human body, these dishes were still rather tasty. Despite this, I think I'll remain omnivorous and get my protein the old fashioned, carnivorous way.
