  1. Lotte

    Na, Bruno, Woche zwei! Wie klappt es mit der veganen Ernährung?

    Translation

    So, Bruno, week two! How's the vegan diet going?

  2. Bruno

    Translation

    To be honest? Giving up meat is harder than I thought. I'm already dreaming of sausages.

  3. Lotte

    Denk an den Tierschutz! Und je weniger tierische Produkte wir essen, desto besser ist es fürs Klima.

    Translation

    Think of animal welfare! And the fewer animal products we eat, the better it is for the climate.

  4. Bruno

    Translation

    Yes, yes. But what about protein? Without meat and dairy products I'm missing important nutrients.

  5. Lotte

    Translation

    Not if you replace them. Pulses like lentils are very nutritious, and tofu made from soya has plenty of protein too.

  6. Bruno

    Tofu? Als Ersatz für Würstchen ist der eine Frechheit. Er schmeckt nach nichts!

    Translation

    Tofu? As a substitute for sausages it's an insult. It tastes of nothing!

  7. Lotte

    Dann probier heute Abend mein Linsencurry - rein pflanzlich und erstaunlich sättigend.

    Translation

    Then try my lentil curry tonight - completely plant-based and surprisingly filling.

  8. Bruno

    Na gut. Aber ein bisschen Käse darf ich doch drüberstreuen, oder?

    Translation

    All right. But I can sprinkle a bit of cheese on top, can't I?

  9. Lotte

    Translation

    Cheese is a dairy product, Bruno! If you really can't manage, then just eat vegetarian from tomorrow.

  10. Bruno

    Nein, ich halte durch! Ich stelle mich einfach um. Aber am Tag danach gibt es drei Würstchen.

    Translation

    No, I'll stick it out! I'll just adjust. But on the day after, there'll be three sausages.
