Vegetarian people who don't even eat good vegetarian food

Boggle my mind. I took a coworker out for falafel the other day and she was like "omg I've been a vegetarian all my life and never tasted something so tasty!" and I was like "  ."
In fact this seems to be a pattern in my life. Whenever I cook for vegetarians (or take them out somewhere) they always say it's the best vegetarian food they've ever had. I am a good cook but not THAT good a cook. I think there is something about vegetarian people that makes them prone to eating bad food even within their own dietary restrictions.

It's psychological. Their vegetarianism is a way to punish themselves.

Falafels can be very delicious. They are made from chickpea paste that you can make into patties. Usually put into a pita pocket with avacados, lettuce, tomatoes... and the trick is to have a tasty sauce which is the hard part.

Best friend is a vegan, and she always eats the exact same thing...day after day, so when I cook for her she is always excited. It's not because I'm a great cook, it's because she is such a bad one.

When I was a vegetarian, it was simply because I had constant access to great food. I stopped when I started traveling again because it was generally impossible to travel and eat good vegetarian dishes.

The human body is the most fantastic mechanism ever devised. It digests meat just fine so there is no reason to fear it or avoid it.
Eat sensibly in moderation and watch it go!

Most vegetarian dishes are too oily or fried.. Unfortunately if you really want to eat vegetarian and keep it healthy you have to stick to eating raw or salads with minimal dressing.
Falafels are good but theyre fried and they come with garlic aioli (the secret ingredient).
The other vegetarian dishes that dont fit into that cepategory are boring or require a lot of prep time.
So i can see why a lot of vegetarians dont venture too far with their recipes.

You know, if I didn't know what falafel was I probably wouldn't have taken my coworker to go eat it.
But thank you google.

Also found this comment rather odd.
Especially since falafal should only be served with humus...

Sorry but your anti fat shtick is totally devoid of facts. Dr Atkins and others blew the lid off of this thinking decades ago.

American cuisine isn't really made to cater to vegetarians like Asian and Indian food is. Fried starches are common in American cuisine but almost always as a side dish.
It is not just that the American cuisine is bad, there just isn't much variety to it. Fried potatoes for example.

I think Nuem is kinda right. The sort of people who become vegetarians in the U.S. are often flagellants. Food tasting bad is sorta part of the deal for them.
In the old days they would have slept on rocks wearing hair shirts until they got bored of it.
