Anyone got any good recipes to share? My sister's boyfriend is coming (despite my objections) to spend thanksgiving (small UK gathering, just me, my dad and my sister and her boyfriend; my family has American connections hence why thanksgiving is a thing with us before people ask) and he's very anti vegan and has already started complaining that the food is going to be "boring and tasteless" in an attempt to force me to give in and have meat on the table (not happening).

So best ideas, products and recipes are much appreciated.

    Honestly I'd just tell him to fuck off and go somewhere else. If I'm gonna be cooking for people and someone preemptively says it's gonna be boring and tasteless because there's no meat then they can go get a burger at mcdonalds or some shit. Insulting the cook before you even get there is a dick move and wouldn't stand with me.

      Lol what better way to celebrate the colonizer holiday than by going into someone else's home and bitching about the food?

        Last time he was here he refused to eat a veggie burger because, and I quote "I find the spices ethnic". Ethnic is a hell of a dog whistle.

      Yeah unfortunately I have to be nice for the sake of my sister. He already whined to her because I threatened to break his fucking arm for being an absolute Chud last time he was here. In my defence I warned him many times before I lost my shit.

      So I'm on my best behaviour because my sister thinks I over reacted and I haven't seen her this year because of covid and I don't want to miss out on seeing her because he's a fucking prick.

      So yeah I agree but he's basically holding me seeing my sister to ransom and he knows I'll fall in line for her sake. I do agree though, for the record. There's a reason I don't interact with him.
