I'm not a vegetarian, but I like substituting plant based meals for meat for at least half my meals, and I always just roll my eyes at the derails.

Anyways, there's this little gastropub in this lovely little town on the Olympic Peninsula that has the best black bean burger ever, huge and hearty and moist, it doesn't taste like meat obviously, but it's so rich and savory you don't care, I wish I could get their recipe.

What's the name of the restaurant? I'm headed down to the Olympic peninsula in a few weeks and could use me some recommendation.

I've been making dishes with 1 part meat 3 parts TVP lately and it works great; other than a slight textural difference you can't really tell its not ground meat (at least, when in a sauce). I'm pretty sure you really only need the animal fat to pull off the effect, but I haven't acquired any straight fat yet. Not actually vegetarian, but still better than going all meat. And better for you than sweet, sweet fried tofu.

Black bean burgers are basically a falafel variant, and falafel is amazing.

I'd use lard but some might use Spry, or Crisco etc. It's a perfectly reasonable direction.

The most egregious thing about those recipes is they don't bullet point/number the instructions rather than putting them all into a paragraph. That seems like such an obvious thing in all modern recipes that it's just weird that no one thought of it at the time.

The dried spaghetti is used as bread crumbs in the meatballs rather than cooked and used as a medium for the meatballs. It's not a pasta dish.

e: Actually on a second reading it just seems ambiguous. Wow, recipes really have gotten clearer in the past half century, even if they're now prefaced with an essay about how spaghetti made the author feel about their childhood.

no, place the shaped meatballs on top of the pasta-tomato-spices mixture and then heat

the pasta is being cooked in its sauce for 45 minutes tho which is not how we would typically do it today

These recipes are highly detailed compared to the pre 20th century cookbooks which are written second hand in paragraph form assuming you know full well what paste is.

Bit late for the real meat/fake meat chat but my favorite example is Bacos. People expect them to taste and function like bacon and end up hating them, when if you just accept them as their own thing with their own flavor and texture profile and use them differently than actual bacon bits they're great. They also work great mixed with actual bacon bits.

TVP works so well as a meat 'extender' that its listed before the meat in any kind of cheap canned soup/chili whatever that has some real meat in it.

It’s also the main ingredient used in lots of expensive meat substitutes. I tried one of those cans of be’f soup a while back, and it was thin watery garbage with a few pathetic chunks of fake meat. I check the ingredients label, and the TVP was listed under the 2% or less of the following section. And yet, a can of that stuff still costs more than progresso or Campbell’s chunky

I've cooked TVP as taco meat and with the other stuff in the taco it was perfectly fine and I honestly couldn't tell the difference

It wasn't the very best taco I ever had probably but it was perfectly good

This makes sense for recipes on recipe cards, where you could run out of room. I wonder if you compared other instructional texts of the time period, were they also in paragraph form more often than not? When did the step-by-step bulletted/numbered direction style become the rightful king?

I do wonder if it's as others have pointed out ("paste") that some of it has to do with the expectation that you were only looking at a recipe book for either general ideas or ingredient lists (which sometimes don't even have amounts listed). The idea being that anyone using a cookbook grew up pretty well entrenched in cooking basics, so step-by-step instructions would be at best unnecessary and at worst insulting to the user. Like I think the modern equivalent would be if you googled how to do something on the computer and the results began with 1. Turn on your computer and wait for it to boot up. 2. Enter the user password if prompted to do so. 3. Place your hand on the mouse or touchpad and move the cursor to the icon named...



Also, when did the "receipts"/"recipes" etymology lines converge or diverge? My parents have a huge binder which in one of their handwritings reads "Receipts" and for the longest time as a kid I thought they were just being really thorough at documenting their purchases. The binder was started in the 80s or 90s. I'm also wondering about the pronunciation of "receipts," is "recipes" just a simplified form you're meant to pronounce as "re-seeps", and then it got blundered back the other way to sound fancier/more proper by pronouncing the final e?
