NYT Strands today (game #391) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #391, are…
- NUTS
- TOFU
- SEITAN
- TEMPEH
- BEANS
- SEEDS
- YEAST
- SPANGRAM: VEGAN PROTEINS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
A wonderful search full of lovely VEGAN PROTEINS. Something that will come as a surprise to many, who wouldn’t consider not eating meat due to the perceived lack of protein. In truth there are plenty of alternatives.
Question: How do you know when someone is a vegan? Answer: They’ll tell you.
Everyone has different dietary requirements, but there is something about being a vegan that means you have to let people know within a minute of meeting them regardless of your vicinity to food, but just in case they pull a pork chop out of their pockets or start espousing the brilliance of WingStop.
I say this as a former full-time vegan and now part-time vegan (cheese is my weakness). I prefer vegan food, but will eat the occasional sausage or tin of tuna – a position which seems to annoy both vegans and non-vegans. Maybe I should keep quiet about it.
