Crump: No Vegan Turkey For Me

On Thursday, my college-student stepdaughter will gather with her friends for a full-course vegan Thanksgiving dinner. That would include tofurky (“turkey” made of tofu), potato gnocchi with broccoli rabe, sourdough bruscetta with olive oil dipping sauce, roasted wheatmeat with oyster mushroom stuffing (“oyster” in this case refers to a type of mushroom, not shellfish), garlic smashers (those are unpeeled mashed potatoes), maple-grilled tempeh, carmelized tofu and roasted pumpkin salad — all topped off by ginger-dusted pumpkin “cheezecake” (vegans don’t do dairy, so the “cheeze” comes from tofu cream cheese). I won’t be joining them, for I — like you — have been to “unconventional” Thanksgiving dinners before/ Steve Crump , Twin Falls Times-News. More here .

Question: Would you accept an invitation to have a vegan Thanksgiving?
