i'm sure all vegetarians crave some sort of meat, and for me the biggest temptation is shrimp cocktail. when i became a vegetarian i didn't really like most meat, so giving it up wasn't hard (in fact, it was the goal). but i did like seafood, and today, eighteen (yes, eighteen) years after giving up meat, i sometimes think about eating a bite of shrimp cocktail at parties (it looks so good!)…but then i imagine crunching my teeth through the body of a shrimp and the temptation goes away.
the #2 thing i crave? tuna salad sandwiches. perhaps this is weird, but i really liked tuna when i ate meat. and people: i have now fixed that craving! chickpea of the sea is tuna salad with chopped up chickpeas instead of tuna. i made it for dinner last night and it was SO GOOD! it doesn't taste like tuna, but it has the perfect consistency and is delicious in its own right. plus, lots of protein. win-win.
