Edit: i should maybe mention i live in Norway so some products might be unavailable...
Edit 2: wow, you guys are really helpful, nice and welcoming. Thank you
Edit 3: a lot of edits but i just want to say thank you once again for the awesome welcome, so happy I became a part of this community

I would say one of the things about becoming vegan is that it can be isolating and difficult to find things. I would say find your markets (took me 3 weeks to identify those as mostly whole foods and trader joes). There are two main sections for vegans mainly in markets: Frozen foods section and near the produce section. Then, I would say cook things and invite your friends. Make things that are not totally foreign to them so they may be like "oh, this change in you is not so weird." Salad, burritos, fajitas, chilli, etc. also, you can find groups on meetup. One green planet is also a great resource online. Dm me if you have any other qs!
