Vegetarianism

[Champ]

Bullshit! I know what I'm doing. Gordon Ramsay would shit himself if he had people like me to compete with.

 

(too many carbs in popcorn too.)

Are you Simon in disguise?

Nope, I'm fine with people eating quorn, which he didn't seem to like near the start of the thread. Eat it myself too sometimes, but wary of it so not a regular thing.

[Lee909]

Try soya chunks or mince if you haven't. They are really cheap and pretty good alternative to quorn

[Strontium]

I use dry soya mince when I make a batch of chilli. It's just about the best protein you can get too.

Yeah I've had those too I think, but just do the same as quorn and eat it sparingly. Not sure if either are healthy to eat a lot of, so just alternate between them now and then. I get that fears over soya could be misplaced too, and have already read a few things suggesting that. Even if it is crappy for some aspects of health (in some forms), I still have a fair bit of soy sauce from time to time anyway, it's great with cheese/rice and even put it on beans at times.

That's something else I still need to do. Make a curry with it, and also one with something like chicken or beef quorn/similar type chunks. Have been wanting to do that for a while but keep forgetting when I actually get curry ingredients, so will try to remember next time.

Just had 4 rashers of smoked bacon on toast with brown sauce.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

What you've done there is ingenious. This a vegetarian thread and you just storm in and talk about bacon? Sensational improvisation and timing. Maverick.

Often when I go into Iceland, some wag has livened up the vegetarian freezer with turkey burgers or a pork chop. This must be the Internet equivalent.

Repped for use of the word Wag

Stig is the internet equivalent of a turkey burger.

It worked then you soft cunt.

[Red Phoenix]

If this carries on one of us is going to have to call the veggie squad.

Have a bean burger.

 

Just for a bit of context, you are currently as original as a mockney giving it the calm down, calm down routine when they hear your Scouse accent. Hilarious to them, tedious, unfunny and incredibly unoriginal to you.

Oh fuck off Remmie.

Calm down, calm down.

I seriously considered it when I started work at a chicken processing plant at 18 but ultimately decided I was comfortable with my consumption of meat, since it mainly came from smaller scale local produce.

 

My job was in stock analysis in the control room, but my induction was two weeks spread across the various jobs in the factory. I always kept up doing shifts on the shop floor (particularly during my summers while at uni - to allow me to afford food and beer, mainly beer), but the shock of seeing the full industrialised process and the fact that the quality of our farming was actually very high (when the company was purchased a few years back they had to adapt most of the machinery to handle the smaller, more poorly reared hens) compared to much of what's in the supermarket had me looking at meat as a premium product. You pay for the respect the animal is shown and it's worth it.

 

I've grown up in and around farms so the realities of the situation has never eluded me, but the sheer scale of production the western world pursues is just obscene. Plus, Tesco's mexican bean burgers are genuinely delicious. 8 for £4 too. Bargain for an alternative once or twice a week.

Tofu

Yes or no?

 

Personally i love the stuff if its done right. Im not keen on it when its kept soft/silky in soups but fried with chilli/salt and maybe honey its lovely stuff

[Paulie Dangerously]

Enjoy it in stir fries when it's nice and crisp and chewy usually in restaurants.  Have tried buying shop bought and it's chronic

Yup, not a fan of the soft slimy version, but stir-fried tofu in a tasty sauce is as good as it gets.

[cloggypop]

Tofu is good. Fry it first to dry it out then add flavours to it.

 

Tempeh is lovely when I buy it already in a takeaway but nowhere near as nice when I cook it.

 

[Oh Buoy]

I've never actually tried tofu. 

 

Watched that Jamie Oliver fella' do a little documentary of how it's made and looks like solidified rotten milk with a hint of baby puke. 

 

Can't get beyond that. 

[PestiRed]

Never got tofu, just doesn't taste good or add anything to a meal. I suppose it's basically soya but without the catastrophic environmental consequences, slavery issues and health risks

[lifetime fan]

It's fucking minging.
