Question:
I don’t want any bashing answers here, I’m new to veganism, and I’ve just got a curiosity.
What are some original vegan foods. What I mean is, you’ve got fake milk and fake burgers, but what are some dishes that are original?
Is there anything that was invented that isn’t something that just looks like the real thing?
I’ve found that this recipe gives the best consistency and taste I’ve come across when it comes to vegan potato salad. It’s the perfect side dish for some many different meals. The recipe is kind of a play it ear with the portions, but you’ll get the feel once you start putting it together.

Another great breakfast recipes that is very simple and delicious. Sesame seeds add such a big flavor that compliments so many different types of food. The egg replacer will definitely make the pancakes a bit fluffier so I suggest you include them in the recipe.

Yes, the way i see it there is food, a small fraction of which is from animals. Ignore that bit, and you’ve got original vegan food.
When i ate meat, it was from the following species: pheasant, rabbit, trout, sheep, cow, pig, cod, and that was it. I now eat food from a huge number of different species: mushrooms, chanterelles, puffballs, shaggy ink cap, kelp, dulse, wakame, hijiki, kombu, pine nuts, and i haven’t even mentioned flowering plants, i.e. the majority of my food, yet.
There is a Rastafarian vegan tradition as well as Vegan Society style veganism called I-tal, and the followers of Pythagoras were also essentially vegan, so there are other styles of food around. Strangely, Jain food is not among them.
Well, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, beans are original.
You can make a pilaf with a grain, some nuts, and dried fruit.
You can marinate veggies and grill them and serve with rice.
If you’re not averse to tofu or tempeh, you can make stir-frys with them.
Pasta with marinara sauce can be vegan.
There are all sorts of ethnic dishes that are vegan–such as hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouli, falafel, etc.
None of these requires a mock meat.
