Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

last night we had bean dip that had more veggies than beans I think - one can of pinto beans mashed, onion, jalapeno, bell pepper, 1/2 zucchini, sliced olives, salsa, chipotle sauce, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, cherry tomatoes and scooped up with blue corn tortilla chips

dessert - 2 squares dk chocolate, 1 brazil nut, 3 almonds, some roasted and raw pumpkin seeds

I'm curious to know what they taste like. I've seen them at Waitrose and they looked so realistic.
That was the best mock meat I've ever tasted! My husband said it didn't taste like steak.

I can't remember what steak tasted like, but I would say it reminded me of a roast dinner beef joint. 🤔The last time I had that was about 1990, though. We are definitely going to buy that again.

It has some good reviews on vegan FB groups. I must buy some when I'm in Brighton-hopefully very soon.

Have you been able to whip it into stiff peaks?
I used the aquafaba from dried chickpeas I cooked--it was quite the same as egg white consistency, thick
Yes. Not quite as stiff as egg whites but it worked anyway. I added a teaspoon of white wine vinegar before beating.

Thank goodness for that! :blush:

we made tacos last night with Gardein mince/burger and I don't know why but the smell was awful... and it pushed out my earlier lunch within just a few minutes of finishing eating so something was off... my honey didn't notice the smell nor did he suffer any side effects...

I bought it once and totally agree about the smell. :confused:
 
I'm making a vegan chicken Parmesan. I'm using a Gardein cutlet(s) with a delicious homemade marinara sauce, which I will top with locally made artisan mozza. I'm going to serve it with spaghetti.
