What makes a pancake inherently something 'not vegan'? The ethical concerns which led me to veganism in no way removed pancakes from my desired diet. As such, I make them on a regular basis.

Just because somebody doesn't eat meat doesn't mean they don't like the concept of the meal in general. I make vegan versions of tacos, hamburgers, chicken salad, and egg salad because I like everything else about the meal other than the animal product. If I can substitute the animal for a plant based alternative I can enjoy the meals I've always loved, why wouldn't I?

pancakes: milk and eggs is why i say it isn't vegan from the pictures the vegan pancakes are not what I would call pancakes and maybe there is another way to make them though

I can understand lets say tofu salad or tacos, things that the meat isnt really the ruling taste I do not understand tofu burgers, cheese pizza, quesadillas.

Thank you for your reasons though.

For pancakes, you can use soy/rice milk and substitute apple sauce for the eggs - this works in most baked foods also.
Before my wife went vegan, we never had milk/whole milk around the house and soy/rice/almond milk works in pancakes even when using eggs.
Did not know that :)
