I love black beans but this sounds weird but I also love meat so I guess I wasn't supposed to read this in the first place.

Eggs dude...eggs.

EEEEEGGGGGGS!!!! These are "vegetarian" not "vegan"...big difference...I don't know how vegans do it...I'm a cheese junkie...and yeah, @bbortko... they are weird, and when you puree the beans they kinda smell...funky. BUT! just like adding mayo to a cake, you'd be surprised how good they are. They taste nothing like the beans and have a great chocolate/hint of orange taste. Try them!

For vegan junk food, this recipe takes the cake. Omnivores can't tell the eggs and dairy are missing.

There are all kinds of books and sites for vegan recipes.

I do eat vegan, but I don't know of I can give up eggs. My grandfather raised ostriches at one point and I remember being small and he would distract the bird while I made "the grab"...we'd split the goods. That's egg dedication...
