It will be interesting to see if this is an acceptable meal for vegetarian week and Guinnessy's.

In Thailand, there has long been a vegetarian week (called "ginjae" in Thai) every year around September or October, during which people abstain from meat for about two weeks, and many people also follow a vegetarian diet called "mansawira" in Thai. While plant-based food is becoming popular among Western-oriented people and those who are highly conscious of health and the environment, it has not yet taken root among the general public because many people are still resistant to plant-based food and because it is more expensive than meat sold in general supermarkets. With the addition of a major manufacturer, it remains to be seen whether the plant-based brand will be accepted as a new "gingee food" and take root in the market.
