Can you use the sauce and cook it on regular vegan nuggets?

Have you seen any cute cow videos?

Cows are intelligent, and curious, not unlike dogs. They don't like being locked up, and they don't want to die.
Even if the death was painless or without suffering, is it right to kill somebody who doesn't want to die for personal pleasure?
I put a lot of value on the interests of sentient beings, not so much just pain.

You could make some seitan steaks, not quite the same but pretty satisfying and chewy. Some kind of veggies are really great grilled.
There's always a point where we may have to make a small and temporary sacrifice of taste to prevent suffering.
Temporary, because it won't be long until there are in vitro meats. :)

That's not too bad, since it's just a bit of broth. There are some veggie flavors of ramen. too. Have you had those?

I tried the Chile ones, but even those still use Beef Extract and I wanted to go completely without for a whole year before making any kind of exceptions like that.

The last video was good, but they just don't do it for me like Gators or Goats do. OMFG I love Goats! Goats are the B-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-MB!
We are all born Atheists, everyone of us. We are born without the Shackles of theism arresting our minds. It is not until we are poisoned by the fears and delusions of others that we become trapped in the psychopathic dream world of theism.

Top brand Ramen oriental flavor has no animal products in it.

Here are some suggestions for mixing things up.

I just buy the curly noodles in larger packages and cook them myself with water and oil (the larger packages aren't fried, but they only take a few extra minutes and I can use my own oil which is healthier and tastes good too).

Well, goats are just ridiculously cute.
