Many popular holiday dishes that usually contain meat, poultry, butter, milk, cream, eggs or other products that vegans do not eat can be recreated to be completely vegan friendly. Substitutes include rice milk, soy milk, vegan mayonnaise, soy protein and tofu products and gluten products. Some of these foods are so similar to the animal foods that they attempt to replicate that even meat eaters cannot tell the difference.
