A good attitude. If you want milk (a taste that I find rather
disgusting, and gave up long before I considered becoming a strict
vegetarian), drink milk.

Don't expect soy or nut or rice milks to taste like dairy milk. They
are not, and I don't see why they should?

Cheese can be painful to give up. Eventually, you just stop missing it.
The rare times that I eat it now, it makes me feel full and heavy, and
risks giving me digestive problems. Nutritional yeast and tofu have
replaced cheese in most respects for me.

But let me tell you, a frite-sauce is no where near the same as a poutine.
