LifeSunDeath posted:I really want to try the other flavors of circus peanuts but you can only buy them in a mixed box that's like 5 pounds. they have cherry, lemon and some other flavors. The lemon ones are so loving good and I'd kill to be able to buy them on their own. The vanilla ones are mediocre. I'm not a huge cherry fan but they seem fine. Also for what it's worth, I've been able to get large-but-reasonably-sized bags of the multi-flavor ones at Safeway in both Baltimore and DC. In both cases they were on stand-alone wire racks of generic bulk bad candy outside of the candy aisle.

Key lime pie is supposed to use eggs, and I'm pretty sure there's no way to make eggs clear. That pie is made with gelatin, so it tastes like key-lime jello in a pie crust. It is possible to make lemon/lime juice complete clear, the cloudy bits and colour don't actually have much flavour to them. It makes a neat crystal-clear margarita.

Yeah the agar also has a different bite than jello but still good.

Circus P. Noir: PI the rain was coming down hard and fast, as if a colossal machine gun was firing at the world. I wrapped myself tight in my coat and carried on walking, no use going back now, better to get on through. Thinking about Bozo's last words was helping ignore the biting cold, "Banana flavoured peanuts make for a bad last meal" I still couldn't make heads or tails out of that and the cops dismissed it out of hand as the nonsense of a delirious mind. It can't be just all that, I knew Bozo better than that. Presently I have arrived at my destination, the Sweet Shop and I eagerly entered the warm space and removed my sodden coat. "Detective! What are doing out in this ungodly whether?" Exclaimed Franz the candy maker "Let me get you some hot cocoa to warm you up!" -"With cinnamon and marshmallows please" I answered. I might have just burst it and start with the accusations, Franz was definitely holding something back, but at the moment nothing could have come between me and my cocoa. "New selection of of shaped marshmallows" I read off the shiny new promotional sign between sips "you always do innovate, Franz" -"why Danke, my dear detective so kind of you to notice" "Would you have shapes of fruit and vegetables?" -"zat is correct" "How about seeds and nuts, Franz" at that the elderly candy man seemed to freeze momentarily "Of course the ground nut is technically a legume but that matters not when you just use its shape" I looked intensely into his eyes One way or another I'll get to the truth, I owed it to Bozo.

I say this as a person who doesn't like meat very much. Because food is complicated and tied to emotion and culture. Because you don't want to eat animals but you miss ripping into some breaded and fried protein coated in buffalo sauce. Because you're at your friend's house grilling in the summer. Because you're out with friends to watch the game and everyone's getting wings and they smell really loving good. Plenty of people don't eat meat for all sorts of reasons. I also don't know any vegetarians/vegans who really love fake meat and eat it all the time, most of them eat it occasionally, basically to reproduce a dish that can't really exist without meat or some meat analogue. Side note: black bean burgers, while not being anything like meat, are almost always awesome, and restaurants should have kept them instead of switching to beyond/impossible patties.

I'd eat that with a knife and fork à la a francesinha, but it's been rendered impossible to pick up, yes. Then again, I'm in a melty cheese/cheez mood these days.

Dunkin Donuts had a very tasty Impossible sausage breakfast sandwich that they discontinued recently for some dumbass reason. I'd often order it on purpose over the actual meat options.more falafel please posted:Side note: black bean burgers, while not being anything like meat, are almost always awesome, and restaurants should have kept them instead of switching to beyond/impossible patties.

Burger King used to have an amazing spicy bean burger back in the 90s/early 2000s and I still think about it now and again. Looks like it was primarily kidney beans, man that thing ruled when I was vegetarian. I loved the McDonalds veggie burger too, it was just potatoes and veggies in a breaded and fried patty. They never had any sitting around so they always had to fry it to order.

I'm a meat lover, and I've eaten shittons of delicious great high quality amazingly flavored food that just happens to be vegetarian. The reason it was good was that it was trying to be good food, and not trying to be something that it wasn't. I've also eaten vegetarian sausages, burgers, wings and pulled pork that sucked rear end, because the meat replacement was nothing like meat. In conclusion, vegetarian food is a land of contrasts.

Plant protein products have improved a lot even since I gave up meat in 2015. Some of the bad old fashioned products still hang on, but there are new brands popping up all the time. Here in Sweden, new products are based on pea protein, from a crop that can be grown locally, instead of imported soy. There are good and bad plant protein products, just like there is good and bad animal protein products. I like almost every kind of food, and I don’t miss meat because there are so many other good things to eat, including asian food that is meat free as intended and new actually taste plant based burgers. Because, sometimes you really just want a burg.

I recently started attending a weekly potluck, and I'm usually the one doing the cooking from our household. One of the hosts is vegetarian, and the other is allergic to any poultry product (meat, egg, etc). I'm a meat and vegetables guy, and a lot of what I make just doesn't work minus the meat. The vegetarian doesn't like the texture of most meat, so the more a fake meat succeeds in its job, the worse it is for her. So I usually go for a substitute that fits with the recipe (eggplant parmigiana, tofu curry, etc.), rather than fake meat. Mainly it's about selecting recipes that work well as vegetarian and egg-free instead of forcing it. I learned the same lesson when I lived with a friend with gluten intolerance a while back.

Bean burgers are great and hopefully once the Impossible and Beyond hype settles down they can return to more menus to allow people to partake in the ideal foodstuff while on the go: bean sandwich. In the meantime I'll keep buying an 8 pack of buns and a pound of ground beef and using frozen bean burgers to settle the bun debt instead of lodging 2-3lb of red meat collectively in the fam's colon. Processed chicken sub for processed tofu is almost no contest in tofus favor because it absorbs the nuggy brine better anyway and it's not like processed chicken has an ideal texture.
