The hardest red meat for me to give up was bacon (for some reason) but ever since I became pregnant with my first child, I could no longer stand real bacon. In general, the most difficult thing for me to give up is shrimp. I slowly weaned flesh out of my life (first red meat, then white meat then fish.....) and for a very long time I had trouble keeping from eating it (it's been a few years now, but.....).
I still don't know if I can ever be completely vegan, though... confused

mis_3a what did you find most difficult to give up when you first became a vegetarian/vegan? how did you get over it ... or are you still having problems? (REMEMBER: nobody's perfect!) the most dificult thing was gelatin.. EVERYTHING has gelatin in it! Whenever I buy/eat something gummy, i have to check the ingredients for gelatin... most of the time they DO have gelatin in them and it drives me BANOONOOS! but sweedish fish and twizzlers dont!

Same with gelatin - I miss Rice Krispy Treats.
But Swedish Fish are cruelty-free! =DD <3
Sometimes I really crave chicken or French toast or homemade cookies (I'm a lacto-vegetarian) and oh, bratwurst and knockwurst. I tried making cookies today with Ener-g egg replacer but the dough fell apart. :[[[

i thought that crab was really hard to give up, some people would say that it's not meat but i think it is, and i used to love eating it, but i've gotten over that now

I know this one is a rarity, but I'm vegan and I miss deviled eggs. domokun It's been so long now I'm sure they'd taste terrible to me, but I remember them being delicious. Even if I did start eating them again, I probably wouldn't enjoy it because of the cognitive dissonance.

It drove me insane too. It was unbelievable. Skittles, marshmallows, Jell-O, jelly, PEEPS for goodness sakes! I used to love cooking, but it's getting ridiculous.I also find that the alternatives don't work nearly as well. Agar is too bitter, and nature gum never seems to work right. It's not much of a problem now; I hardly see the stuff anymore.

I actually didnt find anything hard to give up, I've been vegan for about 3 years and am now starting to miss pizza a little but I make my vegan versions sometimes......when I was vegetarian I thought I would never be able to give up milk and eggs cuz tha was my favorite thing to eat but I gave it up without a second thought

Will you find me a blue rose? For me it will be chickfilla. I love their chicken. I still consume the meat served to me by my parents for health reasons, but they dont serve me chickfilla.

Eating out with my family is pretty hard. I usually just end up eating side items.

i never really had a problem giving up anything but i guess the first 2 things i would eat if i ever would go back would be a taco from taco bell and wendy's chicken nuggets. of couse a lot of throwing up would commence afterwards but you know...

When I went vegetarian at 11, I missed bacon. When I went vegan at nearly 14, I somehow forgot the taste of animal products.
