    What is vganism? AFAICS it's an affectation

    For some, being vegan means not eating any food products that come from
    an animal, including meat, fish, dairy, and eggs. For others, it means
    not eating animal products, nor using animal-based products like
    leather, wool, and so on. Is honey vegan? It depends on who you ask.
    What about vegetables grown using animal manure, or worm castings?

    The debate can go on endlessly, and there's no final answer for what constitutes being vegan. But perhaps the best way of describing it is in
    terms of an individual making choices, and aligning those choices with
    their ethics.

    2 md Ripe bananas; (up to 3)
    1/3 c Vegan butter

    Just call it margarine and be done with it. Margarine is the imitation
    butter spread that your grandmother might've used. (Mine certainly did.)
    While butter is made from churning cream from a cow, margarine is made
    by mixing vegetable oils with water, salt, and emulsifiers until it's
    got the consistency of butter.

    2 tb Maple syrup
    3/4 c Vegan sugar

    Huh? Sugar is made from sugar cane or sugar beets. No animal stuff in
    the mix.

    1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
    1/2 ts Baking soda

    I'm an omnivore with leanings toward carnivore. But I refuse to give
    up my tasty vegetables. Such as this sorta-oriental side dish. I also
    do the flowers in a manner similar to squash blossoms - as a finger-
    food snack.

    Title: Stir-Fried Buds w/Garlic Mustard & Mushrooms
    Categories: Vegetarian, Mushrooms, Weeds
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 tb Roasted sesame oil
    1 tb Sesame seeds
    1 ts Grated fresh ginger
    1 c Mixed wild mushrooms

    MMMMM---------------------------WEEDS--------------------------------
    2 c Daylily buds; 1/2" to 1" *
    2 c Garlic mustard

    * If you don't have day lilies or the the buds are out
    of season you may substitute water chestnuts or broccoli
    cut into appropriate sized chunks.

    Gather last two ingredients from an unsprayed area and wash
    well.

    In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil, sesame seeds, and
    ginger. Lower the heat to medium and add the mushrooms and
    daylily buds. Cover for 5 minutes. Uncover and turn the heat
    up to medium high. Add the garlic mustard and stir until
    wilted and the mushrooms are done.... 3 - 5 minutes.

    Note: This is a wonderful side dish. Add chicken or shrimp
    and serve over wild rice for a main course. This is one dish
    that will change minds when it comes to eating wild foods!

    To wax philosophical:

    I like your description of veganism in terms of an indivdual making choices aligned with their ethics and values. In truth one's diet is a choice that has ethical ramifications to both self and others. Idiosyncracies and inconsistencies do not matter in one's personal mythos. Because life is always changing, no diet is permanent. It's more about one's trajectory.

    I posted the recipe as my sister gave it to me. She has made her own "butter" from non-dairy milk. I figure if she did that work she can call it what she likes.

    Traditionally, cow bones are used to process sugar and make it white in a cheap and effective way. If that bothers someone then vegan sugar is another option.

    Hello Ben,

    I posted the recipe as my sister gave it to me.

    It isn't much of a recipe, if one can call it that.

    She has made her own "butter" from non-dairy milk.

    Nut milk is crushed nuts + water.
    Nut butter is crushed nuts + less water.
    Both kinds are a total joke.

    I figure if she did that work she can call it what she likes.

    At least you made attribution as to whose "recipe" it was.

    Traditionally, cow bones are used to process sugar and make it white in a cheap and effective way.

    The butcher normally does nothing to bleach the bones, but gives
    them to the customer as desired.

    Do go fly a kite.
    And enjoy your day.

    If that bothers someone then vegan sugar is another option.

    The term "give a dog a bone" means in its purest form.

    For Life,
    Lee

    True. But vegans tend to have a religious fervour about trying to spread
    their message. And, as with religion, I'm a relaxed agnostic. Bv)=

    It's her product, she's entitled to call the margarine butter if it
    suits her.

    That sent me scurrying to my research laboratory (BING search engine).
    Where I found that some sugar is still processed using charcoal made
    from animal bones. Which leads us to the "hair splitting" question of
    "If your vegetables are grown using animal manure as fertiliser are
    they still vegan?" Most US based sugar processors use plant based
    charcoal. Those off shore may use either animal or plant-based charcoal.
