Unpopular Opinions Society

Include me in on the food obsession! I have piles of recipes that I print from the Internet. I really need to stop doing that, though...It's wasteful.

Hmmmm...auto correct capitalized Internet...twice...lol...interesting...

I always cook with olive oil. Well for frying etc. Just normal extra virgin for that.

Then we've got a big selection of different extra virgin oils for dipping and salads. :lick: I love the stuff.

Food is my favourite thing to talk about, sometimes I read menus for fun.

I thought I was the only one. :zen:

As this is a vegan forum I suppose any food talk is good talk. You never know you may inspire someone to try something they havent before.
Even if you dont think what YOU eat is interesting, perhaps your recipes for other people might be worth mentioning now and again :)
I mean isnt that why we all joined a Vegan forum...

Nn, I suppose so.

The meals mostly tends to be vegan when I cook for the family, for some odd reason.

My phone does that all the time. It's really irritating.

I cook with olive oil all the time. I think I have some canola somewhere, but I almost never use it. If I remember, I get it out if I'm frying potatoes. Otherwise I just use olive oil all the time.

I have tons of cookbooks I never cook from- I just like to read the recipes and/or look at the pictures.
 
Because its easy and tasty ;)
Arent you vegan, I thought you were?

No, I'm just a vegetarian, but I know that you can make great stuff without animal products, except for desserts, which I feel will not be quite the same without dairy.

And I don't really want it simple either, it's more fun when it's labor-intensive. :D

For example, last time I did this : Deep-fried marinated tofu with a cold mango-chili sauce, a bean and soy stew with couscous and lastly, a flan (cremé caramel).

yes, night night, Envy.:)

U wot m8?

Weird. Must be thinking of someone else. :/
Although I think some vegans willhave plenty to say about that dairy dessert thing ;)

You should post more photos of this food...instead of just empty sweet wrappers and pizza boxes :p

That sounds great, especially mango-chili sauce, yum.
 
I love garlic-infused olive oil, I prefer to use that rather than garlic when I'm making garlic bread. Roasted garlic is nice too though.

Popular desserts often rely on something like dairy or eggs to bind it together, so it's harder, but not impossible to make them vegan.

And yes, maybe I should try and make something fancy for myself once a week or so, and post the images here.

I was just a wondering what 'Nn' meant.

Oh, that's just an affirmative phrase, I think you would call it?

An onomatopoeia, perhaps.

Sadly, the mangoes were a quite bland, and I used too little lemon and lime, so it came out a tad bit tasteless.


Maybe this discussion should be moved to the food section or so? :innocent:
 
Coconut milk, meaning coconut water, is the pure stuff that they actually get out of the coconut. "Coconut milk" is hideous.

Coconut water is just coconut water. Coconut milk is either the blended coconut meat that's thick in a can (for cooking) or thinned down in cartons (for drinking) or especially thick in a bag in a box or something (for cooking also).

No one should be calling coconut water coconut milk.

As if it weren't confusing enough! :grr:

Coconut water=delicious
Coconut milk in foods=delicious
Coconut milk for drinking=:no:
