haha love that comic with them

I kept wanting to make innuendos involving their species.. but either way it came off as way creepier than I liked.

Tofu............Turkey...............

no comment.

It's a terrifying monstrosity.

Could be worse. It could be Vegetarian Ham: Chicken Flavor.

Chicken-flavoured fake ham... I don't even XD

I seen tofu beacon somewhere

I thought tofu was flavored beans

No, it's curdled soy milk. It's generally served with something else to give it flavour because it's pretty much tasteless for most people.

No its not, it's fucking delicious.

I take it, only mammals are sentient in this universe, like in Zootopia?

Yup

It exists and its awesome(when cooked well.)

I've just never understood the appeal of dressing up vegetarian food as something it isn't. As an avid meat eater, I will admit that there are plenty of vegetarian dishes out there that are amazing, especially if you delve into Eastern cuisines like Indian and Thai. I actually can't remember the last time I ordered a meat dish at an Indian restaurant, they just to vegetables so damn well.

I dunno, there's just so many better things you can do with tofu then mold into something that loosely resembles and kind-of-but-not-really tastes like meat.

Its to make it easier to transition, so even as a vegan or strict-vegetarian, you don't have to give up the dishes you liked as an omni.

A tofu turkey... that is a Sin against meat.

TOFU?! what blasphemy is this?! >:(

Nightshade yeah. Pat's an American :3

It explains her use of "arse".

I like tofu, but in the form of a turkey?

how horrendous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tofu can be easily delicious (especially with a sweet chili sauce or something) but the literal thought of tofu absorbing turkey flavor is revolting to me lmao

Lol! XD

Tofu is one of those things that is very good when done well, but also very easy to do very wrong. And I think the problem is people try too hard to hide the fact that there is tofu in a dish. And when you fight it, it becomes terrible.

I know how that feels my sister is a vegetarian and most of my family are carinvores

Oof... carnivore and herbivore on thanksgiving. That must be rough.

Maybe a triple bacon triple cheeseburger with bqq sauce for her and an extra large fries with cup of onion soup for you

I think this guy agrees with nightshade https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4wlpBX0f_f4

This is like the Southern US version of Kilgrave from Jessica Jones XD

XD

I don't even...

Tofurky,.....YOU BASTARD!

Bad ' Raffe....baaaaad.

No head for a week.

'No necking for you!'

Its usually the diets that make things difficult, yet interesting to solve for both sides.

Ok I saw this and this is the first thing that came to my head XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHSRKU8XKIs
Except turkey and not pizza. XD

When it starts crawling, I thought of the moving steak meat in poltergeist XD

I can't believe I hadn't thought of that connection. XD I had another friend who connected it to The Thing when we joked about setting it on fire. (And I wonder if Nightshade found that scene even remotely delicious.)

The Thing? I don't think would find anything in that movie delicious, except where Kurt Russell drinks alcohol :P

My bad, I ment the moving steal in Poltergeist. XD

Oh, ha! I think she'd avoid crawling disembodied meat ;p

Good to know. XD

Its very cute to hear a tough, gruff lady like Nightshade being called someones sweetie ^^

XD

There's sweetness, under that tough exterior ;p

That'd be exact reaction from me if I ever see.. No I don't wanna see it. If I ever even SMELL tofu-turkey! Bleh! >____<

Oh man thats priceless, n just da what is wrong with him xD

Why not just give her a turkey, n he noms a bowl of brussle-spouts?

That's another option, but I think Pat was hoping they could share a meal ;3

Night looks really good in that sweater

Her puppies look good in it too :P

Ya that' what I meant duh XDDDD

What have you done D: the Earth will explode noooooooooooo T-T

...

No I never over react I swear !

Why am I reminded of Futurama?

I dunno, b/c I don't recall a tofu turkey joke in the show X3

There wasn't, but a bunch of hippies claimed to have taught a lion to eat tofu, and then we pan over to the lion looking very skinny and coughing.

eww tofu, eat once a tofu hotdog, tasted yucky

I think their Christmas dinner will be unforgettable... :P

At least Merry Christmas ^^

how about ya'll try having your mother go vegan halfway through your childhood then ya'll can talk crap about vegan cooking
and for what its worth if its done right ya would never tell its vegan unless told so by the cook and they make some damn good vegan deserts too...

I'm with you there, Nightshade... Bleh...

Tofu substitutes will never look like the real thing. Or smell like it, too. XD

i love that cute face she is making. but i once had tofu, thinking it was chicken. got to said not bad a taste<3

Hehe in the furry world, that's first world problems there x3 I wonder if they have an issue like that in the upcoming movie Zootopia?

please tell me you just made this up and that doesn't actually exist XD

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/14113/tofu-turkey-i/

It actually looks decent, but I can't imagine it being a true substitute for the real thing.

I have no problem with tofu as it's quite a common thing that's eaten in Korean dishes, but the fact he was able to make an entire turkey and shape out of tofu...........


That's just an art on a totally different level.

Yeah, tofu in meals is fine, but I can't imagine eating a giant block of tofu shaped to mimic meat like that XD

I love tofu but that's just overkill xD

Oh my gosh. XD

You need to stop talking about things you don't understand.

I've eaten tofu turkey for thanksgiving for the past 7 years, before hand I was not in America nor had I taken meat out of my diet.

I tried real turkey. It was revolting, fatty, and tasted like dried out duck. Despicable. Refused to try tofurkey cause it probably tasted bad. Finally gave in.

Fucking delicious.

i don't like turkey that much either, i prefer steak and ham for my meat choices, but if your turkey is dried out then you just cooking it wrong. belive me it took my mom about 20 years cooking turkey before she got it to taste decent.

on the other hand you can go for honeybaked turkey. seriously the best turkey i have EVER tasted. which i find funny because it it said on the bag, "the best turkey you have ever tasted". im i was like, "yeah right they always say that, it NEVER is".. but OMG it freaking WAS. and we NEVER by prepackaged dinners. everyone in my family cooks. i was like WTF why does this taste so freaking good. its better than what me make. NOTHING is EVER better than what we make. but seriously honey baked is freaking brilliant. its not even fair. i mean to ACTUALLY has a saying on your food that say "the best XXX you have ever tasted" and be RIGHT. that NEVER happens.. EVER!!! but its TRUE!! totally not fair.
it makes me feel like i cant cook even though the other 99% of stuff i cook is 100x better than anything prepackaged. its just not fair. its insulting!!!

But you both eat meat in the bed room......

I prefer christmas ham myself. Well actually the traditional christmas dinner here in Sweden is a giant spread of different dishes, mostly meat, but I tend to stick with ham, meatballs and sausage. The rest is just different pickled fish, ugh.

Wait....if furries eat turkey...does that make them cannibles? (Turkey Anthros)

I imagine it like a human eating a monkey.
We are similar species, but we aren't the same. So it's okay? (Even tho most countries don't eat monkeys. ^^')

In the Londoners universe, there are only mammalian anthros, so birds and fish are used for meat, reptiles as pets, etc.

Isn't this supposed to be the time when fruit cake comes in handy?

I admire his attempt, I'll take it from him!

Tofu turkey is quite delicious. Certainly beats stuffing one's face with actual flesh.

I usually prefer mine with potatos and vegan gravy on the side,

*High fives*

I live you! Thank you! Why are so many furries claiming to identify as animals while studying their faces with animal flesh!?

We need more furry vegetarians :/

Yeah, its a bit ironic.

And agreed. From experience, I can say that furries tend to make awesome vegans/vegetarians(they aren't always the same), especially when it comes to the cooking.

Agreed.

Sorry about the dumb auto corrects. XD I was rushing to catch my flight

Ah but even animals stuff their faces with animal flesh, thus by us eating flesh we are relating to our animals. That said, if I was in a situation similar to the image I'd make a special dish just for my vegan/vegetarian partner.

Other animals, genuine carnivores and omnivores, eat flesh for survival(though omnivores such as bears don't always do so, sometimes favoring plants).

Primates(including Humans), while we can eat some meat only to the degree that it won't kill us immediately. are not carnivore nor omnivore. We eat it for the sole purpose of pleasure and as a show of privilege and wealth(poor taste, if you ask me).

And because of that, a diet comprising of largely plant-derived foods offers us more benefits in the long run. Easier to sustain too.


Also, you seem to be leaving out the other species that are herbivorous.

Just pointing that out.

Sure, but animals kill their prey as quickly and with as little energy expense as possible.
People grow them from birth in a box too small for them to even squat to take a piss properly, in absolutely revolting conditions, while being pumped full of hormone boosters to make them grow up faster, and to make them meatier, before ending their miserable, somewhat mercifully short lives of living in perpetual darkness, by stringing them up by their back hooves, slitting their throats, letting them bleed out for minutes until dead, and then chopping them up.

....See my point?

I thought a tofu turkey was a vegetarian joke in a machinima I watched years ago...

The obvious solution is two menus- One for each preference.

Though it does beg the question....Turkey is an obvious choice for the Carnies, but what would be the equivalent for the Herbies?

Something like rattatouie? Or a veggie roast type of thing, like maybe a stuffed, oven roasted squash?

I can think of several things that would go well in that squash as stuffing- Maybe on a bed of small roasted potatoes and mushrooms?

I am sure herbivores in that world would have their own traditional holiday foods.

-Badger-

I imagine pastas, salads, maybe stuffed and cooked vegetables or something. I need to research vegan foods so I can figure that out more.

But I think in this case, besides to highlight diet differences, the comic was showing that Pat was trying to find a meal to share with Night, and it backfired XD

Oh indeed.

I figured it was a joke, and I got it.

Its just that it got my imagination going... And as I am prone to analysis and engineering, I just started off brainstorming a herbivore's holiday meal.

I figured a centerpiece food item like a roast or turkey for carnivores would be something large and eye catching.
Hence, the stuffed squash idea.

Just random ideas.

-Badger-

Tofurky, wild and majestic beasts that run wild and rampant along the fields of glory.

XD

To quote Groucho Marx, "I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat animals that are.'' ;7

I'm with Nightshade on this one.

Lol! Good ol' Groucho!

If the turkey did go to the dinner...

yes... I guess that Tofu Turkey is for... ehm... acquired tastes

*sad trombone* :P

Patrick Patrick Patrick. Listen buddy, when you're a herbivore and you're dating a carnivore there is only one real solution. You have to go with the traditional Japanese Christmas meal... KFC baby! Get her a bucket or two of chicken, then you eat the sides (though do leave a roll or two for her. Those really are the best part).

It will work fine for Nightshade(though the hormones and chemicals will make for an unpleasant experience). Patrick, unfortunately, will probably end up with clogged arteries and cancer if he's really unlucky.

Eh, you roll the dice once a year. For some it's spring break, for others it's mischief night. For Patrick it can be Japanese Christmas.

You could say that, I guess.

Get pizza.

That's what the birds do on Thanksgiving in order to avoid the Turkey while staying true to the big family eat out.

As an avid tofurkey lover and vegetarian, I take offense to this, this outrage against my Honorable meatless people.

Not sure if you're kidding here, but just in case you're not, it's a joke comic meant to highlight the species diet differences in the characters' universe ;3

Kidding about the over-the-top offense taking.
Not kidding about that Tofurkey is delicious and youre crazy for disliking it :p

Never tried it, so I dunno how I personally feel about it, though I admit I'm wary :B

Exactly, you dont know, yet you made this biasedly opinionated answer. :p

But honestly, not really bitching. It's a 'I don't make fun of what you stuff your face with, as long as you don't jab fun at what I stuff my face with' kinda deal.

Tbh, I'm just playing it all up for the characters' tastes in the comic. I really don't really have any strong food pref IRL.

They still make an adorable couple, regardless.

The Tofurky is very good though

Their odd-couple dynamic is part of their charm ;3

The inevitable issue with interspecies relations. She could eat you Pat, if you know what I mean...

Om nom!

Pretty much. And something tells me Puz and Di are better off in this situation.

haha. I love these two characters.

That 'turkey' belongs in a Frankenstein laboratory!

well she can always eat his tube steak instead

His...[Clears Throat]..."Spotted Dick."

I'm just sayin'.

Woooooah!

Everything I thought I knew was a lie...

Tofu turkey... *pulls out lightsaber and growls* we meet again, my old nemesis!

Reminds me of that Season 3 Thanksgiving episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" where tofu turkey was served. Look that episode up; it's funny. :P

Heh, that showed up when I googled Tofu Turkey XD

That's also when of my favorite episodes of that show. :P

I hope that whoever came up to substitute meat base produce with tofu will/is burning in Hell...

Well Pat you could just order Chinese and she has the ginger beef and you have the veggie rice.

You remind me of Ross from F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Nope. Takeout.
Fully agreed. Chinese beats everything.

As a person with quite noticeable and quite pointed eye teeth and bicuspids, my mouth is only happy chomping into a real piece of meat. lol

Ahh Nightshade, acting like unique self as always. I like it.

And that's why I only date carnivores

You put a lot of thought into this ;3

Fascinating stuff!

I am pretty sure he has broken multiple house rules as set by the resident dominatrix with this monstrosity! >:3

Heh

so in your world are there ferals that they eat or like birds or such and the anthros run the world? where do they get the meat is my question

Yeah they eat fish, birds, probably also reptiles and insects. The only anthros are mammalian.

ah the more you know

That tofu turkey shouldn't be wasted. Someone get Pat Lisa Simpson's phone number, she'll take that off their hands!

.......I'm with the lady...
