Thank you Peace By Pastries for saving my mo’foing butt today. Here is my version of the “Vegan’s 100″.
If you would like to participate, just copy and paste this list to your own website (or anywhere you wish). Bold or highlight the items that are foods you have actually eaten- I added cerulean blue as well.
Italicize or cross out the foods you will never eat. Ever.
Leave the rest as is.
It turns out that I have only eaten a little more than half of these foods listed. This gives me a huge push to go out and buy some new eats! I have no foods crossed out because I am pretty much always excited to try something new.

You can’t eat aloe vera unless you buy the specially processed ones that take out the stuff that makes it a really harsh laxative. So don’t eat your aloe vera plant from home…I don’t know if I’d eat it period.
Thanks for the tip, Jayme. I was shying away from that idea. I’m pretty open to most things, but…. yeah. ;)
Tried aloe vera for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Bought a big, healthy looking leaf and followed the store’s instructions for cooking it. Worst thing I’ve ever tasted! Bitter as anything. And the bitter taste lingered long after I ate it. Wound up tossing the whole thing. Good thing I sampled it before I added it to the dish I was making. Won’t ever buy this stuff again.
wow. i have been tempted many times to buy a giant leaf myself… and then figure out what to do with it once I got home; they just look so big and beautiful! I have never seen with with cooking instructions. I would assume it’s then meant to be eaten, right?
Thanks for the heads up, Morgan! And I’m sorry for your experience. I trust that your opinion is a pretty good indicator to stay away! Maybe it would be good for making homemade sunburn relief? I wonder what people use ‘em for?
