A friend and I went vegan in January, and were recently sitting down over a cup of tea, pining away for our favorite foods from our pre-veg days. What I wouldnt give for a pizza, she said. What I wouldnt give for orange chicken, I replied. To which she sighed a heavy breath and repeated the worlds sloooowly, Orrrrrange chickennnnn. Yummmm.
