Why don't we have a food thread? We should have a food thread

Hey, everyone! I’m trying to lean more into a vegan diet, anyone have good recommendations for vegan recipe sites that they have tried and found to be reliable?

A friend told me about the Purple Carrot meal kit delivery thing, which might be a good entry, but I haven’t tried any of those kit things yet.

I don’t have recipes, but you might get some ideas from the menu at the local vegan restaurant: https://www.veganaf-vt.com/ They make very flavorful stuff that isn’t just a typical side salad.

If you keep Spam in the freezer long enough, it will turn white.
And when you cook it, it will smell like chicken.

It won’t go nearly as well with pineapple if you do that, though! Or fried rice. Or…

Oof. Bad times for this.

The SPAM involved in this alert was shipped to H.E.B. retail locations in Texas; no other retailers are involved in this alert.

Oh, good, the spam musubi is probably safe.

Nava Atlas has amazing recipes. She has had them all online for some time now.

Hope those who celebrate it had a happy turkey day!

We’ve started on the time-honored post-thanksgiving tradition of trying to figure out how to work on leftovers and leftover ingredients, so for brunch I threw together ham, cheddar, and onion omelettes (with leftover rendered bacon fat to grease the pan)…


Mine got a bit more toasty than I intended, but the others were gone before a pic could be taken. :smiley:

We don’t turkey, it’s just two of us, so paella! But unfortunately no photos because as soon as it was ready, it was eaten

Yes, Instacart, if the grocery store doesn’t have cheesecloth, go ahead and substitute a nutcracker. That’ll work, I guess?

Nutcracker, cheesecloth, same diff! :crazy_face:

Well…I suppose if you didn’t have a nut cracker, you could put a bunch of nuts in cheesecloth, and then whack it with a hammer. But then you would think you would search for nutcracker. The coffee filters are ok…I think. Depending on what you’re wanting the cheesecloth for, there is a nonzero chance a coffee filter could do the job. But the nutcracker…

I’m assuming this is the de facto food & drink thread? :thinking:

Also is there a plant-based food thread?

If there is, I have not found it yet.
There is a mead/wine/making/drinking thread already, but a food thread was sadly lacking. No more!

Would it be too big of an ask to have this topic renamed to make it more obvious that this is the food thread? However if people want to keep this as is or make a new one i’m ok with it

I’ve revived a few old threads, but left the titles alone. Not sure if that is an issue or not, but trying to tread lightly in the new digs. (A skill I am amazingly bad at, just to be clear.)
