Rant: My air fryer cauliflower 'steak' deception sparked a vegetarian feud at the block party
I presented my air fryer cauliflower steaks as a wholly original creation, but I had secretly adapted the recipe from a cooking blog without credit. When my neighbor, who follows the same blog, called me out in front of everyone, I had to decide whether to admit the inspiration or double down on my 'culinary genius'. The ensuing debate over recipe ownership versus adaptation got so heated that someone threatened to boycott the next potluck. It's hilarious how a crispy vegetable dish could nearly dismantle neighborhood harmony over such a petty ethical gray area.
