So now I understand what a vegan is. Now my question is what else do they eat?!
Answers:
Lots. Of course we eat lots of fruits and vegetables, but lots of recipes can be veganized. I eat pizza, pasta, lentils, hummus, tacos, bread and other baked goods, rice, black bean burgers, cereal, nuts, popcorn and the list goes on.

Daisy: tofu is not processed. I believe the only ingredients in the one I buy is soybeans, calcium sulfate, and nigari. And most brands are that way, unless they're pre-prepared in which case some may have chemicals. It's been made for thousands of years.

Here's a list: http://michaelbluejay.com/veg/eat.html
The short answer: veggies, fruits, nuts, legumes, beans, seeds, fungus, etc.
The long answer:
For ethnic food my favorite variety is Indian, dishes like aloo gobhi, allo paratha, bombay pav bhaji, chana masala, dahl, gobhi muslam, and tandoori casserole. Those are things like spiced cauliflower and potatoes, potato-filled flat bread, curried vegetables, spiced chickpeas, and thick stews made from yellow split peas. After that I'd go for Mexican food -- enchiladas, tacos, and burritos, filled with potatoes, onions, and beans like black beans, red beans, and kidney beans. There's also tamales, tamale pie, and fajitas made with a wheat roast called seitan. I also like Mediterranean food, things like spanikopita which is a spinach pie, tabouleh which is a grain dish made from bulgur wheat, and falafel, which is a sandwich made from fried chickpeas, though I don't eat that too much because I try to avoid fried foods. And I guess everyone likes Chinese food -- chop suey, chow mein, dim sum, mu shu vegetables, stir-fried eggplant, spring rolls, won ton soup, and other Asian foods like Pad Thai and sushi without fish. I don't eat just exotic stuff, though. I also like traditional foods like baked beans, chili without meat, casseroles, mashed potatoes, and sloppy joes made from lentils or tofu. Oh, I almost forgot Italian -- eggplant casserole, lasagna with meat & dairy substitutes, pasta like linguini, fettucine, and spaghetti, and of course pizza. I like making my own pizza because nothing impresses someone like making pizza from scratch, including the crust. It's also fun to be creative -- once I made pizza at a hostel and they didn't have a rolling pin, so I used a tomato sauce can to roll out the dough. When I'm cooking for myself I also make thick stews based on whatever vegetables and beans I have lying around, usually potatoes, onions, eggplant, carrots, garlic, and greens like spinach or chard. This goes really well with brown rice, which I usually make separately but sometimes I cook it right along in the stew. Sometimes I'll just make a pot of nothing but potatoes, spiced wih soy sauce or spike. I especially like boiling a whole bunch of sweet potatoes. If I'm cooking for someone else I'll generally make pizza, veggie burgers, Chinese stir-fry, or a casserole like baked lentils or eggplant. For the holidays I make a fake turkey out of brown rice and pecans. When I'm running low on food I usually have some rice or oatmeal lying around that I can make in a pinch.
Fruits, and soy beans, and nuts, and mushrooms, and breads.
Soy beans can be used to make vegan hot dogs and burgers. Tofu is fermented soybeans. It is used as a meat substitute. Silk is soy milk.
I can stomach the stuff, but I like my chicken, fish and eggs. I like catfish fried in bacon grease. You can't make a substitute for that with soy beans.
I've known some vegans.
Food. Fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, and nuts. As long as it doesn't have animal ingredients in it, I can have it.
Vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, beans, legumes. Some eat soy products. Some choose to eat fake meats.
vegan :D
Vegans eat everything omnivores eat,
minus the animal products.
I love tofu!! but technically that's just fermented soy beans. So... peanut butter?
And vegan apple pie
bread and margarine and beans
Oreos

processed grains. And lots of processed soy products like fake meats and tofu.
