Even though I am not German, I grew up eating lots of dishes made by my grandmother that were based on German cuisine. The best example is Potato Salad with Schnitzels, one of my all time favorites which I still eat sometimes even now when I am vegan. For example one of our traditional Christmas dinner meals is Potato Salad with breaded and fried fish.
Now you are probably wondering how I can eat this if I am vegan. Well, very easy lol. There are many ways you can substitute meat and other animal products with vegan products and other plant based ingredients. As you can see in this recipe I made Portobello Schnitzels using mushrooms instead of meat and Vegenaise instead of mayonnaise, but there is a lot more.
For example Gardein Company products are absolutely magnificent and if you did not have the opportunity to try them yet, then I highly recommend. They’re especially great for the transitional period when you stop eating meat and you get occasional craving. I guarantee that these products will shun those meat cravings away and you will be totally satisfied and guilt free. Also, these products are fantastic substitute for those occasions when you have your non vegan friends and family over for party.
