The vegan pancakes cooked during an episode of Your Sister’s Sister featuring Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt as long lost half-sisters reunited were best described as “challenged.”

Writer of the comedy series Lynn Shelton says the scene was inspired by her real life attempt to create an egg-free version of the fluffy flapjack, the kindest words that could be used to describe them being “glue.”

“I would tell her to read about what she’s doing and putting into her body. True education will only protect you and it’s important to learn about what you’re eating, wearing, etc. I think it’s important to know that our decisions affect animals. Then, people can make intelligent decisions and know there are intelligent alternatives out there.”

—Cornelia Guest, during an interview, when asked what one vegan change she’d like a person to make in their life.
