The restaurant chain Cracker Barrel now has vegan dishes on the menu.
That's why some fans don't want to come anymore.
Lebanon – The US restaurant chain Cracker Barrel Old Country Store recently added vegan dishes to its menu.
Even if this does not actually mean any restrictions for customers - since no offers have been canceled instead - this does not seem to be okay for some fans.
But despite a shitstorm on the internet, the restaurant chain wants to take this step further.

Restaurant chain sells vegan sausage - in the style of a burger boulette
Specifically, vegan sausages have made it onto the Cracker Barrel menu.
On social media, the company advertises the product by announcing "new meat alert," with an arrow pointing to another image.
The vegan sausage with the name "Impossible - Sausage on Plants" can be seen on it, even if it looks more like a burger boulette.

Cracker Barrel sells vegan product - customers demand meat
But the expansion of the range causes a lot of discussion on the net.
It seems that the offer will anger some Cracker Barrel fans.
Because many make their dissatisfaction loud on social media.
Fans of the restaurant chain are particularly demanding the return of old meat products, even if they are not directly related.
Some call for chicken livers, which would have been there in the past, or a turkey dish instead.
However, some customers seem to feel provoked by the vegan sausage itself.
One user describes the new food as "toxic and flammable".
A user writes: "I've lost respect", another comments: "You just lost your customer base.
Congratulations.” Most recently, Aldi also received a shit storm on the internet because of vegan tuna.

One user wrote: "For those who want plant-based meat, welcome to Cracker Barrel.
For those who prefer the traditional meat selection, welcome to Cracker Barrel.
It is really that easy".
