I guess any of the bigger mushrooms would work. I usually pop them in the microwave for a minute or two or under the grill. Definitely make sure you have Portabellas on your shopping list, they definitely work best. Well worth a shopping trip@Trish, I'll have to venture into town, maybe try to find the Aldes there, the local market doesn't carry Portabellas for sure.
I haven't had a portabella mushroom sandwich in a long time! Thanks for reminding me.I guess any of the bigger mushrooms would work.

Thanks for the tip - I already own this one. I've got a hardcover copy of the lengthy "How Not to Age" on loan from the library right now and am reading the bits that most interest me, like the chapters on osteoporosis.Dr. Gregor’s book, “How Not To Die” is on sale today, @StarSong , if you do not already have this book. I had borrowed it with Kindle Unlimited a couple of years ago and just kept it until today. It is $2.99 today instead of almost $20 ; so a good deal for people who are interested in Dr. Gregor’s books.

I aspire to a whole foods plant based diet, and am now 10 years into it. Went from an omnivore to a crazy-strict vegan in less than a week, but eventually realized the old saying, "perfect is the enemy of good" is a good rule of thumb for me when it comes to food. My calories roughly come 95% from WFPB foods and I'm good with that.As a life long vegetarian from birth I would be interested in learning how many on this thread are true vegetarians (or vegans) and how many are occasional or regular meat (or fish) eaters. My family is a bit of everything and meal times can be 'interesting' for a stove top meal!
Yup. Love the taste but hoo boy do I sometimes pay for all that fiber later on.My lady served me a BBQ sandwich for lunch today
In a hamburger bun
She's pretty much vegan
Asked when she started buying pulled pork
Said it was jack fruit
Could NOT tell the difference
Anybody know about jack fruit?
Well then, I'll prepare for the salad shooterLet's just say it goes right through me and drags along whatever it can find on its way out.
That sounds very sensible and doable!I aspire to a whole foods plant based diet, and am now 10 years into it.

I eat meat only if I happen to be traveling in a place where a certain meat dish is their local specialty. BBQ in Texas and Iberica ham in Spain spring to mind. And only a bit, at that. Fish? Maybe once a month.
Dairy? Yes to cheese on (homemade) pizza and some other dishes, but otherwise no. Eggs and butter, yes in certain holiday baking, but otherwise not. A lot of specialty "vegan cheeses" are no healthier to consume than dairy cheese.
My nephew admiringly calls me "a practical vegan" meaning I don't make people crazy about what I will and won't eat. I nearly always find something in the WFPB world among what's being served. And if I can't, I put on my big girl panties and eat what's least offensive to my sensibilities, i.e., a little fish, a little dairy, some bread or rice, and plenty of vegetables.
Generally speaking I eat a lot of vegetables. And I do mean a lot. My husband doesn't eat meat and has cut down on cheese, eggs and fish. One son and his wife are fairly strict vegans. His twin brother eats Keto. Daughter and her family are omnivores who are increasingly embracing meatless meals.
Parties at our house can also be interesting, but I lean heavily on assemble-your-own meal buffets like baked potato bars, spring rolls, pasta bars, salad bars, and so forth.
Thanks, HFL. I'll check the video out. Am still reading the hardcover "How Not to Age", but there's so much excellent info in it (and a lot of clickable links if it's in electronic version) that I'm planning to buy it in ebook format. A lot to comprehend and even more to go back and reread as questions and issues arise.I just came across this great video from Dr. Greger about his new longevity book, and it is well worth listening to. Don’t let the length of the video scare you !
This is like going out for a walk and visiting with the doctor, he (in his Broccoli shirt) and the lady are walking along and chatting like old friends, and it is like a spontaneous conversation between the two of them, although she does ask him questions.
I love listening to him, his great facial expressions and awesome sense of humor, as well as knowledge just seems to bubble out of his mouth (really fast sometimes !).
And how can you not love a doctor that wears broccoli shirts that his patients and fans send him ?
I am still reading the how not to diet book and waiting for the longevity one to go on sale and then I will grab it, too ! Our library does not have his books on ebooks, so I can’t get it that way either.
I follow all of my favorite authors on Amazon, @StarSong , and then I check each day to see if any of them have books on sale, and when I find one that is $2 instead of $15, I grab it and add it to my ebook library.Thanks, HFL.

They only go on sale for a day or two, and only now and then, so you have to keep watching to find the books on sale.
Wow, wake up in a grumpy mood this morning, @jimintoronto ?I see here in Canada a number of food producers who are trying to push products that are "Plant based " such as Plant Butter. The Canadian Dairy Producers are going to request the Federal Government to remove the word "Butter " from any product that is NOT made from cow's milk. The same would apply to things like "Almond Milk " and the like. Truth in advertising is what I want to see here. If someone wants to eat bean sprouts, go right ahead, but don't try to call it BEEF patties. JimB.
Yes I should have expected something like that from a " Vagabond Flower Child ". Should I point out that having a different opinion is STILL allowed here on SF ? I expressed my opinion. JimB.Wow, wake up in a grumpy mood this morning, @jimintoronto ?
Here we are, having a happy little discussion about fruits and veggies, and along you come, not even interested in having a plant-based diet , and attacking the names of plant foods.
We have had peanut butter since 1895, when the Kellogg company developed it for patients in a sanitarium because it was healthy and easy for them to eat. No one has cared that it didn’t come from a cow for well over 100 years. Mr. Kellogg also made almond butter, but found that peanuts were cheaper and people liked peanut butter better.
Now, we are supposed to rename it because it is not actually a dairy product ?
So an attack on me personally is the best response that you have ……Yes I should have expected something like that from a " Vagabond Flower Child ". Should I point out that having a different opinion is STILL allowed here on SF ? I expressed my opinion. JimB.
