Round 1
French cuisine is very well known for its pastries. Almost all of them use a lot of butter (croissants, pain au chocolat, mille-feuille etc) as it is part of the technique. replacing it with plant based fat doesnțt get the same result neither taste, nor composition wise.
EnviroChampAGAINST
Isn't it possible to just leave out the butter and cream? French cooking has lots of vegetables, beans, and herbs that can taste great on their own. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems vegan friendly enough if someone wants it to be.
Round 2
i was talking about the pastries, but I would also like for you to provide me with an example of such dish that could be vegan
EnviroChampAGAINST
I heard that a surprising number of classic French dishes are already vegan, like ratatouille and lentil salads. My opponent makes a fair point about butter in pastries, and I'm not sure how to argue that. Still, it feels like French cooking can be vegan friendly if someone wants it to be.
Round 3
I agree with your point on ratatouille. There are some examples of foods, especially salty ones, that could be vegan. Still, they are very few. Another examples of a famous french dish is the foie gras, which is impossible to make vegan and it is also unethical.
EnviroChampAGAINST
Ratatouille is a good example, it's just vegetables and herbs cooked together. My opponent is right that pastries are hard to make vegan. But one tricky area doesn't make the whole cuisine unfriendly, does it?
