Having lived as a vegetarian in Canada, the US, Germany, Greece, and now the UK, it's really interesting how meat substitute products vary so much from country to country. Canada has generally favoured soy products, the US seitan, and the UK mycoprotein. I like them all just fine, though I have to say that seitan is great and has the highest protein content generally. The UK tends to have a good variety of products but I often have to seek out specialist stores to get good smoked tofu or flavoured tempeh, which are some of my favourite meat substitutes to cook with. Quorn cocktail sausages in particular are great as a quick protein-filled snack. Jackfruit sucks though -- there's a reason I'd never heard of it until I moved to the UK. WhatEvil posted:Yeah my wife did some looking up yesterday as to why you can't get Quorn in Canada and apparently it's because in order to market yourself as a meat substitute in Canada you have to meet certain nutritional values (think it might be the macros) which Quorn apparently doesn't, and they're not interested in changing their product. From a few pages back, but where do you live in Canada? I'm from BC and grew up eating Quorn, and I still sometimes see it in grocery stores whenever I go back. Also, if you can't find substitute chicken pieces you're not looking hard enough -- the grocery stores within a few minutes' walk of my parents' house, in a pretty average middle class neighbourhood, have huge amounts of meat substitute products, including now Beyond and Impossible meat products.

I'm torn, as the Labour candidate here is a decent guy that works at the same place as me. I'd normally not think twice and vote for him, but I really don't want to endorse Labour in any way anymore.

I was listening to a podcast the other day (I can't recall which), and they were talking about participation trophies. The first recorded use of the phrase was almost 100 years ago - Feb 1922. https://newspaperarchive.com/sports-clipping-feb-08-1922-1129748/ And the funny thing about Laurence Fox - he wasn't even a failed, or a bad actor. He was perfectly decent, he just chose to lash himself to this bizarre flagpole. And now his acting career is, we have to assume, over.

There's something that a lot of the posh fried chicken places use as a vegan alternative that's remarkable. I think it's a seitan tofu blend and it's basically indistinguishable from chicken, it even tears in strands like chicken breast. I almost sent back food at one because I thought they'd brought me actual chicken.

I went to a vegetarian chinese restaurant in the Netherlands and they had fake (presumably seitan) duck with some weird fatty skin (presumably tofu?). No idea what it was, looked and tasted like duck. Probably was duck.

I feel like I might actually vote Welsh Labour tomorrow. As much as I'd like to send a "Keir is useless" message, I have a feeling a drop in votes here might lead to a "Drakeford's lockdowns were bad" narrative instead. I haven't agreed with all their decisions but overall Welsh Labour have handled the pandemic pretty well so that makes me a bit more inclined to vote for them despite everything else as well.

I've never made it myself, but the place that sells them in Hackney prepares them with seaweed and samphire which provides a fishy enough taste. Though to be fair I haven't eaten an actual piece of fish in 15 years so I'm not the best authority on how it tastes.

Relevant to both cornuto & u brexit: I'm going TUSC for my first vote & Plaid for my second. My reasoning is that Labour are very unlikely to lose on my constituency seat anyway, & Labour losing votes to an unambiguously left wing party can't really be spun any other way (I mean, they can & will lie about it but they know what happened). TUSC is full of trots & also Steve Hedley, but they're better than the Communist Party tankies, & one of those is the only way to send a clear message. There's loving loads of anti lockdown parties for people to vote for if they want,* so not voting for them can't really be seen as an anti lockdown vote. Plaid get the list vote because they're the best way of keeping Tories, fascists & Tory fascists out, certainly in my region a tactical Plaid vote is pretty much mandatory. *was looking into the South Wales PCC candidates today, there's one who actually sounds good, talked about the right to protest, name dropped a lad the police murdered recently & the awful police conduct at the protest, some good stuff about keeping young people out of the criminal justice system. So I googled the party name & saw a big NO MORE LOCKDOWNS IN WALES, ugh  (I'm going Plaid for that if anybody cares, it's either them, anti lockdown, Lib Dem or your choice of Very Pro Cop)

Just Another Lurker posted:I will have to try making that Seitan, YT making of seems simple. I've never made it but it is apparently relatively easy to make (it's ubiquitous in east Asian cooking as a veggie substitute for poultry or pork), has a good texture, and can be very tasty; it stands out because it grills better than other similarly simple meat substitutes. The one issue is that since it's basically pure gluten it obviously isn't suitable for people who are gluten intolerant. quote:I went to a vegetarian chinese restaurant in the Netherlands and they had fake (presumably seitan) duck with some weird fatty skin (presumably tofu?). No idea what it was, looked and tasted like duck. Proper vegetarian Chinese restaurants, especially Buddhist ones, will blow your mind what they can do with seitan or bean curd. There was one place in Philadelphia I used to go to that had like 70+ items on the menu made with just those ingredients that were insanely varied and sometimes amazingly similar to duck, pork, etc. quote:Isn't American fake meat much better than ours because they have GM ingredients In my experience no, though many of these products are so processed that it's hard to tell. The ones I tried were mostly just variants of seitan/wheat gluten, which for some reason isn't hugely popular here.
