Danes stop calling vegan food "plant based" challenge. Especially when you are serving mushrooms.

Waiter: "We are a plant based restaurant, everything that you're gonna eat here tonight is plant based."
Me: "I know, I'm vegan, that's how I found you."

Germans stop carbonating everything challenge.

Germans stop sprinkling curry powder on fries challenge.

@rhelune This is going too far.

But apart from your curry fries heresy, the day can't come soon enough when people stop calling vegan/vegetarian food "veggie". And you can never be sure if there isn't dairy or eggs in there. Also the word "veggie" is annoying in itself.

Thank you very much for inspiring me to offer up my own little rant.

@AngelaCarstensen Animal Friends Croatia, a vegan org, calls it "vege", I am sure they made that word up. The vegan festival they organise in Zagreb is called "ZeGeVege" because "ZG" is an abbreviation for Zagreb. One Hare Krishna restaurant complained that they weren't allowed to sell lacto-vegetarian food at that "vege" festival (because, of course, they misunderstood the name).

There's a Danish youtuber who calls herself plant based because she is just trying to live sustainably and doesn't oppose animal exploitation. Fair enough. I actually still call those people strict vegetarians. That's what they were called in the 90s.
