I love Vegan but can never be one!!!

African naturally are vegetarian and eventually “Vegan”. Back in the days, we did not know about milk and cream. Domestic meats was very rare and of course very expensive. Hunting was a question of luck. Some family did not have a single piece of meat on their table for months. My grandmother use to serve groundnuts stew with cepe mushrooms to please us every time we went to visit her. That dish, believed it or not was and still one of the best meal I ever had. She will serve it with cardamom rice, quite a delice. I can talk about this type of dish over and over. I just want to mention that being vegetarian or vegan will never be difficult for us African. Is it a reason for me to adopt the concept of veganism no! But a suggestion for a new way to eat without using some excuses that can lead to some extremism. As a Chef, I enjoy cooking for vegan adept as I love to cook for the non vegan. Animal activists are Vegan and or aspiring becomes vegan. They are very strong believers that any one shouldn’t eat meat, fish and the derivatives product. I truly believe that a natural life recommend us to eat meat, fish… with charity and love because, it was given to us with love and charity.
