Prove them all wrong! I am sure noone will notice the difference of having soymilk or soy margarine or veggie broth in the potatos vs cow milk, etc. Same goes for other foods. People get in a mind set that things have to stick to tradition, or will not be the same or enjoyable. I am sure my family will be begging to try my food, but my mom told me that my bro heard I was making food and worriedly said, 'What weird stuff is she going to try and make me eat?" Gotta love it
