Can anyone recommend any good vegetarian and/or vegan cookbooks or recipe sites?
VegWeb has about anything you could want. The Post Punk Kitchen is more specific, but they have a lot of great stuff, as well as a vegan cooking show that I've never watched, but my girlfriend really likes. They also made the cookbooks The Veganomicon, which I haven't seen but is very well-reviewed, and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World, which has recipes that make amazing cupcakes, but are also generally pretty complicated.
Apparently my friend decided to break his meatless streak yesterday with a turkey sandwich. He said after going without meat for so long, the saltiness was overpowering.

Probably because cold cuts are often cured or brined to some extent to preserve them. He should have broken it with something fresh (and preferably pasture-raised).
@Funfetus, He's been off it for around five years. He said he started to feel a little ill at first, but by his second meal he started to enjoy it again.
I have, over the past couple of years, drastically cut back on my red meat intake. I still eat on average 8 servings of meet per week, but that's much less than my previous levels.
So, is today "Rym gets bored an necros interesting topics" day?
Anyway, I've found myself eating far less meat and far more veggies now that I actually pay attention to what I'm eating. I was shocked with how easily I was eating so much more junk food than I actually thought I was in general, and meat was a large portion of it, especially fatty meats like Pepperoni.
Rym, makes a comment that doesn't actually apply to the topic though. Since his comment has nothing to do with being vegetarian, since he is still eating meat nearly every day.

Oh my fucking god, that is some atrocious grammar.
My point is that I'm trying to minimize meat in my diet. If more people ate less meat, many of the goals of "vegetarianism" as a movement would be achieved.

Pork and chicken allergies are also a good way to reduce meat intake.
I'm on a huge hummus kick lately. Fuckin' chickpeas, man. Good stuff.
I've notice my change in diet to where I don't eat a lot of beef, especially ground beef. I don't really crave steak as much as I used to. I am eating more fish/seafood these days.
I have a little jar of anchovies that my roommates never touch. Man, I love me some anchovies. Toss a few over a nice salad and you've got yourself a meal.
I've found I have stopped eating steaks and burgers except on special occasions. I do eat a lot of sausage though (maybe 2-3 nights a week).
We just had some spaghetti and meat sauce with my father's homemade fresh Italian sausage in it. It was most excellent. I don't mind vegetarians, as long as they're not preachy.
Hummus is quite good. I recently went to Trader Joes and picked up a large tub with some naan as a healthier snacking options.
I lived with a vegetarian for over 5 years and learned to cook for her quite well. It was more the challenge of being an omnivore and taking out such a staple part of my diet. I was even veggie for about 6 months but I missed meat far too much.
Much like Ro, with age I've come to desire beef far less than in my youth and now prefer chicken and fish. Healthier and nommier, if you ask me.
I've also noticed that my stomach can no longer handle most fried fatty foods.
I noticed this too when I went to an all fresh made diet.
I'm not a vegetarian but when I switched making nearly all my food at home (no frozen foods), when out of pure desperation I had nothing in the fridge and was driving home from an emergency which had lasted till 2am in the morning and McDonalds was the only thing open, I ended up nearly throwing up in the car park after having a Big Mac and small fries.
Lately, in an effort to cut down on meat intake, I am trying to be vegetarian when I am not at home. Factory farming worries me a lot, and the only way to truly avoid it is by being very careful with your choices and cooking a lot more food yourself. Also, I realized that many of the comic artists I follow are vegan. It seems like it is a challenging diet, but I really respect people who are able to put in the effort. I need a lot of protein, though, and I'm not sure I could handle cutting out all those foods I love, like delicious mackerel. I would definitely sooner go vegan than go on the Atkins diet, though. Bread and noodles and rice, I hope I never become allergic to you!
So here is a question. Veganism is removing anything that is made out of an animal am I right in thinking? So why aren't all vegiterians, who for moral reasons don't eat meat vegn?
Also I will go on record and say that piscaterianism is bullshit and chips. I honnestly had someone try to explain that fish are lesser creatures than a chicken.

Nah man, I heard that Nirvana song. It's okay to eat fish.

Protein is not too difficult to get when going vegan, the biggest concern is typically vitamins. Vitamin B12 is an example of one you would need a supplement for since it is not available from plants.

How could I have forgotten! Such staunch advocates of aquatic discrimination.

Also hummus is the jam.
I'm a big fan of salted shelf-stable proteins. You wind up eating far less of them because the flavors are so intense.

Also get the Mediterranean Hummus from TJs. It's creamier and more nommier. Ro tested, Ro approved.
