Poor analogy, the Devil is all about temptation and trickery so his semen would likely be the best tasting semen, he wants you to consume it so it would disingenuous to make it the worst tasting :cool:

As for the Cheese, what's wrong with calling it vegan imitation cheese ?

I may be stuck in the 1980's here, but vegan cheese shop in Brixton does not compute

TBF they've had "Champagne Et Fromage" for years. Equally gross and boujie.

Definitely not cheese.

I really don't get it, if all this vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/etc. stuff is so great, why does 90% of it pretend to be normal food?

Normal food = tasty, other stuff you mentioned = won't kill / sicken you, better for you sometimes, more ethical depending on your ethics.

I can't believe it's not cheese!

Vegan cheese? Simple, just call it it Smegma.

But there are plenty of other foods which are vegan and gluten free which don't pretend to be meat/cheese/milk/wheat/etc. (and are far tastier than the ones which do!)

I agree with you there. That said, I'm an omnivore who lives with a vegan so I'm always up for trying the meat alternatives. Cheese I'm less interested in as it's always a bit weird.

Just put the word substitute on the end of everything

Kelt · 22 Feb 2019 at 20:16

Just call it Sneeze (Snot + Cheese).

Job done.

Vegeese. Get your veggies and vegeese, not at all confusing.

Veg geese?

If it’s a ‘vegan friendly “cheese substitute”’ then is it really so terrible dropping ‘substitute’? Everyone knows what it is. I’m not going to lose sleep over callling vegan cheese.... vegan cheese.

Some great marketing ideas there. Anyone got a better name for this troublesome cheese alternative?

I Can't Believe It's Not Cheese!

Or simply NotCheese.

The argument can be used as a marketing tool. It already is, but you could run with it.

Then sell a variety with some sort of herbs in it and call it vegeezle
