Jaap Korteweg, one of the shop’s owners and an eighth-generation lupin seed farmer, opened the store to provide a protein-rich, sustainable alternative to meat while reducing the environmental impact of the extensive soy industry in South America.
Products available at De Vegetarische Slager include traditional meat-free options such as BBQ tofu and quinoa, as well as the shop’s own brand of lupin products like croquettes and sandwich patties.
Lupin is a legume native to the Mediterranean region and similar in taste to a fava bean.

Eating someone's liver with some lupin beans and a nice chianti doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
They're trying to reduce the environmental impact of the soy industry... by selling tofu?
Oh, I thought they opened up a place where they chop up your veggies for you, hehe.
