U-Rasa uyintombazane esencane, ekhuthele, ethanda ukwazi yaseLithuania ephila impilo ekhanyayo nenamandla. Ngokusho kwakhe, kule minyaka engu-5 edlule, mhlawumbe into kuphela engashintshile empilweni yakhe yindlela adla ngayo. U-Rasa, inyama yezilwane nelungu leNhlangano Yokuvikelwa Kwamalungelo Ezilwane, ukhuluma ngolwazi lwakhe lwendlela yokuphila enesimilo, kanye nesidlo sakhe asithandayo.
Lokhu kwenzeka eminyakeni engaba ngu-5 edlule futhi kungalindelekile. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngase ngivele ngingumuntu ongadli imifino unyaka wonke futhi angizange ngihlele ukukhipha imikhiqizo yobisi ekudleni nhlobo. Ngolunye usuku, ngenkathi ngifuna iresiphi yamakhukhi amnandi ku-inthanethi, ngathola iwebhusayithi yamalungelo ezilwane. Kulapho ngafunda khona udaba olumayelana nemboni yobisi. Ukuthi ngithukile kuwukubukela phansi! Njengoba ngangidla imifino, ngangikholelwa ukuthi ngangineqhaza elikhulu enhlalakahleni yezilwane. Nokho, ukufunda lesi sihloko kwangenza ngabona ukuthi izimboni zenyama nezobisi zixhumene kangakanani. Lesi sihloko sachaza ngokucacile ukuthi ukuze kukhiqizwe ubisi, inkomo ikhuleliswa ngenkani, ngemva kwalokho ithole lithathwe kuyo futhi, uma iduna, liyiswe esilaheni ngenxa yokungabi nalusizo kwayo embonini yobisi. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngabona ukuthi i-veganism ukuphela kwesinqumo esifanele.
Yebo, ngiyilungu leNhlangano ethi “Už gyvūnų teisės” (Russian – Association for the Protection of Animal Rights). Sekuyiminyaka eyi-10 futhi ngenxa yesayithi labo, okuyinto iminyaka eminingi okwakuwukuphela kwensiza kule ndaba, abantu abaningi baye bakwazi ukufunda iqiniso futhi baqonde ubudlelwano phakathi kokuhlupheka kwezilwane nemikhiqizo yenyama. Inhlangano igxile kakhulu emisebenzini yokufundisa ngesihloko samalungelo ezilwane kanye ne-veganism, futhi izwakalisa ukuma kwayo kule ndaba kwabezindaba.
Esikhathini esingangonyaka esidlule, sathola isikhundla esisemthethweni senhlangano engekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni. Nokho, sisesenguqukweni, sihlela kabusha izinqubo nezinjongo zethu. Cishe abantu abayi-10 bangamalungu asebenzayo, kodwa futhi sibandakanya amavolontiya ukusiza. Njengoba siyingcosana futhi wonke umuntu uhileleke kweminye imisebenzi eminingi (umsebenzi, ukutadisha, eminye imibutho yezenhlalo), “wonke umuntu wenza konke.” Ngibambe iqhaza kakhulu ekuhleleni imicimbi, ngibhala izindatshana zesayithi nabezindaba, kanti abanye banesibopho sokuklama nokukhuluma esidlangalaleni.
I-Vegetarianism iyanda impela, nezindawo zokudlela eziningi zengeza izinketho eziningi zemifino kumamenyu azo. Kodwa-ke, ama-vegans anesikhathi esinzima kancane. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uhlu olukhulu lwezitsha luwela kumenyu uma amaqanda nobisi kukhishwa. Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi izindawo zokudlela zaseLithuania azihlale ziwazi umehluko phakathi kwe-"vegetarianism" ne "veganism". Ibuye yengeze ubunkimbinkimbi. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi kunezindawo zokudlela ezimbalwa ezikhethekile zemifino nokudla okuluhlaza e-Vilnius ezinganikezeli nje kuphela amasobho e-vegan nezitshulu, kodwa nama-burger namakhekhe. Esikhathini esidlule, savula isitolo se-vegan kanye nesitolo se-inthanethi okokuqala ngqa.
Abantu baseLithuania bangabantu abahlakaniphile kakhulu. Njengobuzwe, kuningi esidlule kukho. Ngikholwa ukuthi ukunqoba izinselelo kudinga ubuhlakani futhi uma ungakwazi ukuvele uthole okuthile, udinga ukuba namasha futhi usungule. Intsha eningi, futhi phakathi kwabantu engibaziyo, iyakwazi ukuthunga nokuluka, ukwenza ujamu, ngisho nokwenza ifenisha! Futhi kuvamile kangangokuthi asikwazisi. By the way, esinye isici isici Lithuanians - yokungabi nathemba mayelana nomzuzu wamanje.
I-Lithuania inemvelo enhle kakhulu. Ngithanda ukuchitha isikhathi ngasechibini noma ehlathini, lapho ngizizwa nginamandla. Uma ukhetha noma iyiphi indawo eyodwa, khona-ke lokhu, mhlawumbe, iTrakai - idolobha elincane elingekude neVilnius, elizungezwe amachibi. Okuwukuphela kwento: ukudla kwe-vegan akunakwenzeka ukuthi kutholakale lapho!
Ngingathanda ukweluleka ngokuvakashela uVilnius kuphela. Kunamanye amadolobha amaningi athakazelisayo eLithuania futhi, njengoba ngishilo ngenhla, imvelo enhle kakhulu. Abahambi be-Vegan kufanele balungele iqiniso lokuthi ukudla okubafanelayo ngeke kutholakale kuwo wonke amagumbi. Ekhefi noma endaweni yokudlela, kunengqondo ukubuza ngokucophelela mayelana nezithako zesidlo esithile ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi ziyi-vegan ngempela.
Ngiwathanda ngempela amazambane futhi, ngenhlanhla, izitsha eziningi lapha zenziwe ngamazambane. Mhlawumbe isidlo esithandwa kakhulu i-Kugelis, uphudingi owenziwe ngamazambane agayiwe. Okudingayo izilimo eziyizigaxa amazambane ambalwa, 2-3 anyanisi, amafutha athile, usawoti, pepper, imbewu ye-cumin nezinongo ukunambitha. Hlanza amazambane kanye no-anyanisi, engeza ku-processor futhi ulethe esimweni se-puree (sibeka amazambane aluhlaza, hhayi abilisiwe). Engeza izinongo namafutha ku-puree, udlulisele esitsheni sokubhaka. Mboza nge-foil, ubeke kuhhavini ekushiseni kuka-175C. Kuye kuhhavini, ukulungela kuthatha imizuzu engu-45-120. Khonza i-Kugelis okungcono kakhulu ngohlobo oluthile lwesoso!
