It's always funny to listen to carnivores talk about vegetarian cuisine. Yeah, we do have different priorities. I eat for fuel, and... how many pounds are you currently trying to lose?

Most vegetarians/vegans don't use food as purely a delivery system for nutrients and calories, just like most carnivores don't. They eat food they like, just like you do. LoL is a bit of a freak, but so are lots of carnivores who bro out at the gym or train for extreme endurance events.

Mapo tofu is delicious. So are lots of other things. Mapo tofu is not the best choice when grilling in the backyard with your friends, but when I go to a chinese restaurant I don't try to order a black bean dish.

You're missing out. Those Asian black dish sauces are fantastic.

haha didn't even click that mapo tofu uses fermented black beans. I wonder how they'd taste in a patty

I cooked my bean mix and made it tasty, and then cut in the oats. Maybe 1.5 cups in here with a can of beans (and its liquid), onion, pepper, garlic. I then let it sit 20-30 minutes so the oats could soak up some liquid. .... It made the most ****-like substance I've ever turned out of a kitchen (and I used to make organic dog treats at a vegan-friendly bakery).



I formed them, and dusted them with some flour and then sauteed ...



Pics are nothing special, and neither were the bean bugers/patties. They taste good, but that's because beans and aromatics always taste good.

I would definitely make this again and eat it on a bun with burger-like toppings. But the chewy texture I hoped for, from the oats, didn't come thru.

Note: Overseason your beans slightly because the oats will soak up a lot of flavor.

Tasty, but still not right. Still, nice to eat a burger-ish sandwich-shaped item with mustard.

Not right = doesn't taste of animal?

I bought some frozen quorn pieces with the intention to make a curry. I've never had quorn before. Could I use it in cauliflower/broccoli cheese or is it best I stick with my original idea?

Only time I've eaten quorn has been as hash. Not sure if the structure really fits into curry, it might dissolve?

Amazin too busy bloodmouthing it up to come and post itt again.

Not sure if quorn sounds delicious or gross. Fermented single cell fungal biomass is kind of on the line for me. Might be the plot device of a bad sci-fi novel, might be tasty.

It doesn't really taste much of anything except maybe bit salty. Seasoning accounts for majority of the taste.

.

Dude, you eat flesh and muscle of pigs n ****.

Right. Like I said, it doesn't necessarily sound horrible to me. I'm just a bit surprised such a thing exists and apparently is widely consumed.

A fungus that feeds on glucose sounds pretty good to me, and I'm a typical bloodmouth.

There were heaps of curry recipes on the website using the product so I assume it's ok. I ended up just having a standard vegie pasta and the quorn is still in the freezer. I'll post a pic and give my first impressions when I eventually use it.

Bump for Land O Lakes

The year vegan junk food went mainstream

Well, just try to cut it down and try out some "fake-meats" if they taste similar enough to be acceptable.

Land O Lakes,

Can you respond to this:

Also, while you're at it can you explain this

Most buffets have **** food prepared by either teenagers or 40yo ex-convicts. Nothing against either of those guys, but I ain't eating the raw foods that they prepare. If you're talking about an elite buffet, then I'd likely get backed off again for destroying their delicious fruits and veggies... not because it would be a loss leader for them, but because they would lack variety for the rest of the day.

Yes, chopping up greens = nutrient loss, but time, storage, etc., are contributing factors as to how much, but you noobs with your mushy cooked veggies are taking the worst of it.

And yes, fatties will hit the pudding instead of the veggies if you place them next to each other, so in that regard, they do lose nutritional value in that setting.

I unhinge my jaw to eat my veggies whole nowadays. Sure, it was a lot of work (stretching and careful use of an exacto knife on more stubborn areas) to develop the ability to do so, but using teeth to cut and thereby destroying the nutritional value of food is unwise.

Now, Big Stove will tell you that absorption of most nutrients in humans is helped greatly through so-called "cooking," but they obviously have a vested interest and the results of their "studies" cannot be trusted.

There's a reason you don't see any fat snakes.

Depends on the specific nutrients. Of course there is a difference between steaming veggies and eating mushy veggies at a buffet. You know, kind of like chopping up a salad and eating it immediately and chopping it up eating it 4 days later.

The point is moot for you, though, because you only eat greens so you can blow steak out your ass more easily.

Trump is fat.
