Vegetarian Star

Sarah Silverman remembers one of her very first Thanksgivings. Or, as she calls it, “Thankskilling.”

In a story the comedian briefly touches on in her book, The Bedwetter, Silverman’s early turkey moments are recalled in this “Funny or Die” video which illustrates her dad taking her to a turkey farm, Sarah being asked to pick the one she likes the best, only to discover she chose the cutest bird with the greatest personality traits to be sentenced to its head chopped off.

Some children learn sooner than others.

Silverman says killing the turkey is a symbol of America’s “self-righteous heritage” that consists of it killing native Americans, stealing their land and similar acts of gratitude towards others.

“Happy Thanksgiving dummies!” she wishes at the end.

The only thing better than an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving is an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving catered by her personal chef Roberto Martin.

Like she’s done in the past, the daytime talk show host welcomed Martin to her show recently to demonstrate some vegan recipes for the holidays. Martin made a roast from seitan, vegan mushroom gravy, mashed yams, cranberry sauce and vegan pumpkin cheesecake.

The recipes for the roast, yams, and cheesecake are available from Ellen’s website.

Martin says the pumpkin can easily be substituted for berries for those that don’t find the orange fruit tasty in the cheesecake recipe.

Watch Martin roll and slice a perfectly shaped loaf made with wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, breadcrumbs and several spices in the video below.

Wilco Coffee

Need some organic coffee to wash down your “She’s A Jar” Wilco Sky Blue Sandwich Company sandwich?

The Chicago based band Wilco now has an organic coffee named after them in addition to some deli sandwiches, available from their hometown roaster, Intelligentsia.

Organic Ethiopia Sidama Homecho Waeno has a description more passionate that country music lyrics:

“The aromatics of coffee blossom and violet make way for an incredibly graceful and elegant cup. The body has a light and silky quality, like fresh whipped cream, that beautifully compliments the ever-present note of citron, juniper berry and vanilla. As it cools, the cup blossoms into notes of confectioner’s sugar, rosehips, and soft raisin, resonating on a pristine finish with a touch of milk chocolate.”

The last original member of the Beach Boys that still tours, Mike Love, is performing in Durban, South Africa in December and he hopes to take advantage of the food culture in between rehearsals of “I Was Made To Love Her.”

The pescatarian is hoping to try one of Durbin’s famous dishes–bunny chow.

“I’m well aware of Durban’s reputation,” Love said. “And yes, I sure would try one of those bunny chows, with vegetable curry or perhaps fish.”

Bunny Chow is no lettuce and carrot mix. Nor were any rabbits harmed in the making. Rather the dish, which some speculate was created to serve take out items to blacks and other colored people that weren’t allowed to eat inside restaurants during Apartheid, is the original soup in a bowl–a loaf of bread with a hole in it filled with curry. Originally, it was only served with vegetable curry, then meat reared its ugly head into an otherwise hearty and healthy dish.

If you’re missing a Visa for South Africa, here are some simple instructions for making bunny chow in your kitchen.

“My thing is this – everything has to be able to be done with some kind of commitment and passion, and some reason that isn’t blown out of proportion and taken for granted.”

—Chuck D of Public Enemy during an interview with The Vine. Chuck eats a more sustainable diet by being a fish-eating vegetarian and he also is a human and animal rights activist.

If you follow the pescatarian diet, you should know, scientists have shown fish feel pain too. If you are still comfortable with your decision, please choose seafood wisely, eating only varieties that are not overfished and contain the least amount of unhealthy toxins like mercury.

Vegan Cookie Monster Thief Suspect

Cookie Monster should stop looking for his wife near Oscar’s can and instead head over to NYC’s One Lucky Duck vegan eatery.

According to the New York Post, the manager there claims a woman has tried to rob him of his vegan, organic cookies twice during the past month. Arriving on a scooter, the woman first hit him with her foot-powered vehicle and then tried to spray him with Mace.

These gingerbread cookies she is after must be good, because the last time she attempted to steal them, she yelled, “F*ck you! I’ll be back every day! You can count on it,” before escaping.

What We Like: The use of non-motorized vehicle as the getaway instrument. An idling getaway car wastes gas and puts toxic emissions into the air.

What We Hate: Stealing is never cool, especially from establishments that are trying to do the right thing by providing, animal and earth-friendly goods. Reward these places by paying for your cookies before taking off on your scooter.

It’s your choice whether or not to use profanity to indicate you’ll be a returning customer.

After five years of eating vegan, Robin Quivers faced what many face after putting another bean burrito in the microwave and scarfing it down with tomato soup. Bored with her usual food routine, Quivers hired a chef, a handsome man named Gavan who is reported to be able to “cook anything,” including some new dishes to spark Quivers’ palate.

This new television show, Vegucating Robin, will feature Gavan teaching Quivers how to blend, boil, bake, blanch and blacken tofu, pasta, legumes, vegetables and all these meat, egg, and dairy-free.

For those of us itching for a vegan or vegetarian cooking show, we may have just gotten our wish. Quivers, the co-host to shock jock Howard Stern, has the both the look, personality and celebrity status to make veg mainstream–daytime or prime-time.
