The writer shares their struggles with adapting to their daughter's 25-year vegan lifestyle, feeling disappointment during family gatherings due to the lack of traditional, non-vegan dishes. Despite their efforts to embrace vegan cooking, they express frustration particularly due to the inability to recreate cherished family recipes. An incident with a synthetic ingredient that caused illness escalates their sense of defeat. The response emphasizes the importance of balancing respect for their daughterâs choices with personal enjoyment, suggesting that non-vegan alternatives can coexist at family events.
