FAQ: Inspired by the original Peanuts comic strips, Haircut Practice is a tribute and re-imagining of that world with all new jokes and drawings.
i don’t know who hurt that person, but I feel like food innovation is at an all-time high. Constantly I see new stuff being experimented on and new combinations of food items. plant-based/vegan popularity has really elevated those food innovations as well, with ever more plants being used to make new foods. Just yesterday I made myself a vegan omelet with vegan cheese. And it was amazing.
I tried vegan cheese at a food show recently. It tasted more like cheese than cheese does!
I try to incorporate a couple of plant-based meals every week and it’s getting easier to make something good every time.
You don’t happen to know which one it was, do you? We vegans are always on the hunt. Although tbh, I don’t miss the “sour, milky” taste. I find it very weird…
Yeah, this just isn’t the case, there’s a metric fuckload of experimenting going on, most people just aren’t willing to try any of it.
Today, I brought my own food to work: rice with red lentils, peas, unsweetened peanut butter and some black caraway seeds (+ normal caraway, vegetable broth, a little vinegar)
And yeah, as I’m telling people this, I realize that they probably want to hear a recipe name, like “risotto” or “rice curry”, but I have no idea what it is. I started cooking with rice and red lentils, kind of like a curry, but then the rest just happened spontaneously.
It always feels like I’ve discovered this great secret that you can just combine edible things and it generally leads to something edible.
I can only speak for myself, but I do not want you to name whatever that is
You mean, you decided to prove the point of the parent comment… 🙃
It probably is hard to imagine from a list of ingredients, for example the vegetable broth was for boiling the rice+lentils, it wasn’t soggy rice, and I only added the vinegar, because I accidentally made it too salty, so you weren’t supposed to taste it much.
But yeah, aside from that, the taste wasn’t too extravagant. Maybe replace the black caraway, if you’re not me, but then it actually tasted quite a lot like egg after leaving it in the fridge over night.
Seriously. Not even experimenting, but just looking at other cultures’ cuisines as a start. In the states we barely even pickle things that aren’t cucumbers. The seafood situation in the middle of the country is nothing compared to the coasts, and what’s acceptable on the coasts is a fraction of what gets eaten in Iceland or Japan.
People generally don’t want to expand their palates. Anyone who wants to try new things can look to countless dishes around the world they’ve never even heard of.
Just this year, Oreos made a Sour Patch Kids Oreo. It was terrible, but don’t pretend like there aren’t people out in the world committing food crimes. Taco Bell is committed to lowering the bar on what humans are willing to eat, don’t disservice their hustle.
What’s wrong with the Legally Allowed Amounts of Silica Crunchwrap Supreme?
Look, they were brave enough to find out how big you could make a cheez-it, and then shoved that inside a Crunchwrap. I’m not brave enough to make disparaging comments about an entity so powerful.
If you wanna go back to tuna mayo and olives gelatin aspics from the 60’s go right ahead.
We make new kinds of sandwiches all the time…
