Not my cup of tofu....

I dont touch any analogues that strive to taste like animal flesh. Do those ?

What do you think of the Redwoods chicken pieces? I think they're fantastic, but they haven't quite won over some of the carnivores I know.Better than Tesco mock chicken fillets by a mile though: they're not so food!

Hi Barry

 

I like them. They're really good as a protein content in stir-fries, kormas, curries, etc. etc. and pretty good on their own too! :-)

 

Not tried Tesco mock chicken. I do like the mock duck from our local Chinese Supermarket "Wai Yee Hong"!

They are extremely tasty - I like to stock up on them as they go so fast from our local health store. You can eat them straight from the packet too :-)

Don't know - it's such a long time since I tasted animal flesh. I don't mind what they call them as long as they are tasty and versatile, and all the Redwoods items are exactly that.

I know: if I get the Redwoods ones, I tend to devour them straight from the pack (fast)! Some of my omnivore friends might not be convinced, but I definitely am! Any other vegan meat analogues ppl are fond of? I like the Redwoods sausages also: straight out the pack are gorgeous. Oh, as to original query, tonight I had grilled flat top mushrooms in bun, with mustard on top, along with grilled aubergine sprinkled with garlic. Really nice. Along with fruit smoothie of strawberries, blueberries and soya milk. And they say vegans are deprived... whatever Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.

Hi Fraggle

 

I reckon you would like them - they are tasty but different to the

sausages.

Re: Re:What's for dinner tonight?

 

 

don't think i've had em, but we loved the redwood sausages we had last

year!

[Guest guest]

We even made a creamy soup with them as there had been a chicken soup

we used to like when we were omnivorous. It turned out really well.

I like the Redwoods roasts, sausages, and chickeny bits best, but

their garlic sausage, chorizo, pates etc. are all really good. I'm

quite pleased that they have lowered their salt content, as it was

high at one time. Brilliant company - they deserve acclaim. As you

say, the chickeny bits are really handy to take for a picnic or day

out.

 

Your dinner sounds delicious. Vegans are definitely not deprived! :-)

I had a veggie burger while my husband had a real burger; last night we

had tacos (bean for me and beef for him); the night before we had pasta

with marinara sauce (husband's had sausage); tomorrow I'm going to try

a frozen veggie meal (fake meatloaf) and he's going to have chicken.

Our meals are pretty easy since neither of us can really cook, and we

have to do meals to accommodate a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian.

It sounds as though it's working well. Sometimes we like to cook, and sometimes we used the veggie sausages etc. Whatever works .....

One thing non vegies usually share without having to alter is a vegetable chili made with either bulgar wheat/minced tofu or soya "mince" beef analogue.

Good morning this fine Wednesday.

Just getting ready for work and wondering

what I will make us all for dinner tonight.

Hoping for some inspiration... nothing even

sounds appealing right now except for this

cup of coffee in my hand.

 

So, what will you be having for dinner tonight?

My husband is on a fast for a few days and since he's not totally vegetarian, I

can indulge myself. I'm not sure but I'm thinking I'll defrost some lentil

loaf, bake a sweet potato and steam a bit of broccoli for colour. It's not a

fancy meal but it's what I love to eat. Of course if DH was eating today, I

would do the same meal - minus the lentil loaf but add in fish. I hate the

smell of fish cooking but what's a wife to do when her husband loves his fish?

 

Tomorrow I'm going to make another batch of chick pea cutlets and have one on a

bun for lunch with lettuce, mayo and ?? cranberry sauce. That's making my mouth

water just thinking of it.

 

Supper tomorrow night will be something curried!!! another of my faves that is

less well tolerated by DH.

 

He thinks it upsets me when he fasts. I smile and sing and dance around the

kitchen making a meal just for myself. Can't he tell I'm happy?

 

Just writing about the chick pea cutlets has me convinced that today is when I

should be making them for my lunch.

 

I hope everyone has sunshine today.

I'm having a bottle of red wine....it was that kind of

day.

 

I've been in a cooking rut lately. I'm so stressed

out and tired that I haven't been cooking anything new

or interesting. I can't wait until the farmers'

market opens a little later this month....all the

fresh produce will inspire me...hopefully.
