@eloquentspeaker14 I'm lucky a local restaurant has two kinds of soy curls (buffalo and steak) and I add extra of them to other menu items.
Sounds like you need some vegan travel! I've always discovered things by trying them at restaurants. When I plan a trip, I map out vegan restaurants. Not just because I love food. But I end up seeing more of cities that way, seeing neighborhoods I wouldn't have otherwise discovered. It's been such a gift, really.
And I'm not sure how to mention this, but in my experience, vegetarian food is really boring. I mean this as sincerely and not as some sort of vegan superiority dynamic. Even among close friends and people I really care about, those who are vegetarian tend to eat stuff I wouldn't touch if it was vegan - a lot of restaurant food in which meat was removed but nothing was added. My friend's husband practically whined on a camping trip, "Why does she [me] have all the GOOD FOOD."
Vegans are some of the best foodies I've encountered. We're gonna make a BBQ soy curl sandwich but also make it Thai inspired but also with pecan pie and ube ice cream on top somehow.
