Review of Andhra Chilli - Hotpot Vegan by lol1409
Samples at an outreach event.
In typical Andhra style, spicy enough to get the tears flowing. 🌶️
(Buttermilk on the side to quench the flames)
Their tagline- Local meat dishes made vegan.
Mockmeat is not widely available here (yet) and dishes are even harder to find.
Hotpot is a great initiative, and there's a large market to grab. I had a bite and the mockmeat (soy?) was really soft and soaked up the flavour fairly well. It was meant to be #veganchicken, and I'm told #chicken meat is slightly chewier.
All the omnivores at the event liked it, but most can't be bothered to change their lifestyle or have a serious conversation about its ramifications.
What a shame that the only "interaction" most have with these birds is an assessment of how tender their flesh is. I don't think most people would be non-vegan if they really took in the individuals on their plate or skin.
