Fake meat burgers suck, black bean burgers are clearly superior.

Burritos, refried beans, vegan burgers, hummus (yes I’m counting chickpeas as beans), chili 🤤
Beans are awesome, as are nuts (can’t have those myself unfortunately) and seeds

Both are good. Beyond brand is the more allergy friendly one, that I eat and I like the pea-mung bean combo for texture but it still tastes somewhat vegan which is nice for me but I understand others may not like. A solid black bean patty from Aldi goes pretty hard though.

Wait, then what’s the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean?

Nobody’s paying to see a garbanzo

I’ve never paid $300 to have a garbanzo bean on me

The real difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean is that I’ve never paid $50 for a garbanzo to bean on my face

I can’t have beans or any legumes or pulses D:

Tragic on the bean front, but there are some other good plants worth trying
If you can have wheat & gluten, give Seitan a try! Super high protein and kind of meaty taste
Quina, potatoes, chia, hemp, pumpkin seeds, mycoprotein (from mushrooms) are also worth using too! As well as stuff like oatmilk of course too

Lol. I’m well aware. But I’m fine murdering chickens. They’re dumb animals that truly want to die. Or at least all the spoiled chickens I’ve raised on the farm do. They refuse to do anything for self preservation.

I’m not sure that’s such a great moral logic given that this also applies to human children

Unsolicited story time!
I made a few batches of baklava for my coworkers a while back, with various fillings. Most recipes call for dates or some kind of nut, so I was just like ‘fuck it, we’re trying them all’.
One of those coworkers had a nut allergy, so I make a batch that used sunflower seeds instead (no recipe for that, just sub the nuts 1-1) and honestly is was one of the best of the 10 or so different types I made. Baklava is something a lot of people with nut allergies have never tried cuz it’s always got some kind of nut in it. - if you’re one of those, definitely give it a whirl some times (and do NOT use one of the recipes that go through making your own filo dough… that stuff is… involved. You can get premade rolls in most grocery stores - look near things like those refrigerated tubes of cookie dough, or in the frozen section).
I’m sure sunflower seeds as a nut substitute is nothing new, but baklava specifically might be something that wasn’t previously on your radar. (if that’s the case, and you do go for, shoot me a message to let me know how it went /^_/^)
That coworker was fucking stoked - when people bring in food for the group they don’t usually put much thought into things like allergies or religious accommodations, but hooking those folks up with some noms when they’re expecting to be left out is a great way to make their day.
