I noticed that my vegetarian Indian friends consider eating eggs as non-vegetarian. But being vegetarian means not eating meat while being vegan means not eating any animal products including eggs. Could you please explain this discrepancy?

@sreeanaghaneraniki8650

Жыл бұрын

See, a lot of people think eggs are not meat but some people do including my family. Vegans don’t eat ANY dairy products or meat such as milk, cheese, eggs, and etc. Vegetarians eat dairy products but don’t eat meat. Here is why my parents think eggs are considered meat: The egg yolk supposedly turns into a baby chick after a while and people are just eating the baby chick in the form of egg yolk. Let me know if you have any other questions! ❤

@@sreeanaghaneraniki8650 Thanks for explaining! This is really interesting and makes me wonder if you or your parents are aware that not all eggs are fertilized?

​@@jeannaakanova5303 yes people are aware of that, but the answer isn't a simple black or white one. The classification of eggs as 'non-vegetarian' is due to a number cultural reasons (and only applicable to particular cultures/regions of India btw; there are many, many more), and it might be hard to grasp for you if you're not aware of the history behind it all. So yes, the reasoning might be a little hard to understand, but it IS a different culture altogether. [For comparison, the 'gluten-free' and 'vegan' lifestyles of the west are similarly somewhat perplexing for some Indians, (the new generation is more aware of course)] In India we often have 3 classifications - 'vegetarian', 'eggetarian (veg+eggs)', 'non-vegetarian' [and many more; if you're interested, look into 'Jain' food, another major food-classification group; again with a lot of cultural reasons behind it]. And most vegetarians in India are 'lacto-vegetarians' (veg+dairy products). A lot of it comes down to cultural differences.

@@jeannaakanova5303 actually we Hindus believe in minimalizing the harmful effect on nature to live sustainably since the last 5000years. So, we mostly lived on Vegetarian food and the typical vegetarian Indian food won't have eggs because it's an animal product ultimately. Some Hindu groups are even stricter by having only one meal a day, leaving on fruits, fasting, not eating plant tubers etc, to cause less "suffering" to plants. We did have non-vegetarians ,but majority were vegetarians and still are. Vegetarian Hindus eat dairy and plant-based products, Vegan Hindus don't touch dairy products too. That reflects in the culture of India, of course, Muslims and Christians here eat meat of all animals, but they use significantly less meat as compared to rest of the world, due to the Hindu influence.

As someone with an egg allergy, going to Indian was incredible, UK vegan cakes are just too pricey for me to bother buying so i never have them or dessert anywhere, but in India, I could walk into any cake shop or restaurant and they were all egg free!!!

For people who are looking for an alternative to Cilantro because you have that gene. Do not use flat parsley. Try fresh basil. Thai basil for Asian dishes, euro basil for Spanish dishes. It's apparently similar enough in profile and fits those dishes well. Flat parsley has no flavor where coriander/cilantro does have a flavor beyond spicy soap.

@nuage9538

10 ай бұрын

Well freshly picked flat parsley has indeed a lot of flavour and the profile is way closer to coriander than basil is. Thai basil is ok but European basil has a totally different taste. As well as a different reaction to being soaked in water and cooked.

It's genetically predetermined whether cilantro tastes like soap to some people. So they unfortunately can't help it, it's in their genes. Sucks for them. 😋

Most Indian vegetarians outside of india eat eggs as it's harder to find vegetarian options in the west. But some will still avoid eggs. And in India itself most vegetarians don't eat eggs. As for the reason, eggs are considered meat as they can develop into an animal. Biologically speaking it's quite different from milk or honey, as those foods are made by animals but do not contain cells. Milk cannot be alive, but eggs can be. But some modern vegetarians will still eat eggs. If they're not fertilized then they will never become a chicken anyways.

Paneer alone is not high fat. You get low fat paneer options. If you want to make low fat paneer at home you simply use low fat / skimmed milk. I hate how you categorise vegan items and non vegan items. You’re not making a better choice by not choosing paneer or choosing tofu. It’s about preference. Also tofu does not taste like paneer anyway. It can get really chewy if not cooked properly. Paneer bhurji would give you a different taste. So as much as you can replace it, it won’t be the same.
