Whatcha Eatin ? - 2018

I know people are calling the bean brine aquafaba to make it sound fancy, but I just can't do it. It's such a stupid name.

Etymology
The word aquafaba was coined on March 13, 2015 by Goose Wohlt in order to provide the community with a common name for the cooking liquid. It is a concatenation of the Latin word for water, aqua, and the Latin word for bean, faba. It was also intended to suggest both a reference to the entire fabaceae legume family from which aquafaba is made as well as the notion that the discovery was also "faba"-lous. After significant international adoption, the word was officially submitted to the Oxford English Dictionary on its one-year anniversary.


What about garbanzo juice?? LOL

French Toast made with chickpea brine as an egg replacer, and maple syrup. It was delicious. I know people are calling the bean brine aquafaba to make it sound fancy, but I just can't do it. It's such a stupid name. I should probably post that in unpopular opinions thread instead of here.

Can you tell how you did it? Please?

I didn't do any measuring, but I added the brine from one can of chickpeas, added some cashew milk (probably around 1/2-2/3 of a cup), some vanilla, and a dash of cinnamon. I lightly whipped it using a wire whip until it was mixed. It made a lot of dipping batter. I dipped the bread in just until I got everything covered, I didn't let it soak.

The multigrain bread seemed to taste better to me than the sourdough. I made both for research purposes.

Tonight I am going to a town festival, where one of my favorite drummers is playing (in a Led Zep tribute band). So I'm sure I will be having not-so-healthy fare. I'm guessing there will be french fries, lol. I'm having a nice salad for lunch, though, so I will get in all my greens.

ETA: I just realized I posted this in the wrong thread, lol. This should be in the Suppertime thread, haha. I'm so glad it's Friday!
