Are the two subjects — Vegans and Pie — at opposite ends of the buffet table?

There are those who believe when you take up the Vegan Mantra, sign the vegan charter (by the way, there is no vegan charter), that you have to be 100% pure and virtuous in every bite, 100% of the time.

And you know what? They’re right.

If that’s what works for them, I say go for it.

But for the rest of us? The ones who want a little spice to life? The ones who want mashed potatoes, stuffing and Seven Layer Salad on Thanksgiving? I like to refer to us as the GET REAL VEGANS…and you know what? We want a little pie on our dessert table!

    Just want to comment that there are store-bought pie crusts that are vegan. Many of the graham cracker / Oreo style crusts are, in addition to Wewalka’s roll out crust (in the refrigerator section). Most puff pastry is also vegan if someone wants to put that pie filling to a vegan use.
