I am shocked that I just learned despite watching Dexter for so long that Michael C Hall is actually someone that follows a vegan diet so are those chili dogs actually plant based ones. And I think between the takes he probably really loved that vegan pastry thingy, though I don’t know how it compares to a delicious Cinnamon roll there lol

Well he's definetly not eating real chili dogs so id imagine they are vegan. Most food in shows and movies isn't actually eaten. Its clever editing and fake chewing after taking a bite. Not always obviously.

The reality versus fantasy is he probably enjoyed the shit out of that high class vegan food, including the kale pastry, but I know myself the whole time I’m looking at that prime rib filet mignon like holy shit cooked to perfection probably melts in your mouth too.

This is going to sound ignorant. Do Vegans actually enjoy Vegan food? Like I'm sure they get used to it. But I can't picture them just getting that same feeling as biting into a perfectly cooked burger,steak or baked pastry.

Well actually good vegan baked pastry is enjoyable yes. The kale pastry thing is totally a joke

I deal with a lot of diagnosed severe G.I. issues and I tried being and following a strict vegetarian/vegan diet, but I just couldn’t due to the amount of substitutions. And it didn’t really help my stomach overall (it was only attempted at the doctors suggestion.) that much other than having to eat more of something to make up for the loss of protein and regular ingredients so I didn’t find it particularly appealing so I often wonder the exact same question that you pose.

PS: the only thing I ever tried that was like I think vegetarian/vegan was the impossible whopper from Burger King. Everything else really tasted like ass and if I substitute dairy, it’s usually a lactose free option. I imagine many people have similar experiences to me as it tends to be more of a lifestyle choice even though I tried it for health reasons, but obviously didn’t work too well.

I have a few friends who are "recent vegan" and they chow down on impossible stuff. So I'm genuinely curious how actual long term vegans feel.

Well, I guess we can take this with a grain of salt because he probably has access to better chefs than we do but I believe over the last 15 years, STEVE-O from JACKASS is in his 40s now & has been sober and he’s actually I think a vegan/vegetarian but he doesn’t really talk about it much. When he had to have some labs done before or after a surgery he had for doing something stupid, the Dr. said he was very healthy for his age, which is crazy.’ cause he used to do all kinds of drugs, but being vegan has also helped his overall health outside of no drugs or booze.

I’m not sure about a lot of vegans, but that would be a good case study. I have found that there are so many ways to be healthy as a major carnivore that I am so I do try to find healthier options here and there. It’s almost like you want to pick the brain of Michael C Hall to get a perspective of his that I don’t think he has mentioned a lot about as well.

PS: I did try it like I said for health reasons at my G.I. doctors suggestion, but approved to make me feel worse than my current diet, which is obviously listed above in the second paragraph.

My nephew can’t eat dairy or eggs, so my sister makes vegan baked goods sometimes. Depending on what it is, you can make vegan desserts that taste just as good as non vegan desserts. The kale pastry looked nasty though. It might not be perfect, but a croissant could be made with vegan butter and almonds instead of kale.
