You haven't lived until you've read the short stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer and gone to a milk deli in lower Manhattan where this amazing artist hung out til he was nearly l00. No meat product will be served. Tasting their delicious 'chicken liver pate' will make you wonder why the rest of us still pull toxic organs out of dead chickens. You can have the same rich flavor of the real animal derived product spread on your homemade crackers at way less cost, and way less toxicity to the body with walnut-lentil butter mixtures.

You will even have the minerals and vitamins contributed by other vegetarian ingredients that you couldn’t get with a recipe using a toxic organ pulled out of an already deficient, stressed, caged chicken! Try some of these wonderful recipes at your next gathering. Puck Puck my poulet will thank you.
