as for chese & onion crisps, fuck em, it aint even real cheese

It'd be breaking the Trades Descriptions Act if it were. "Textured Vegetable Protein". Quorn's not a vegetable - it's a single-cell fungus grown on oil. (No, it's not a mushroom, any more than a meerkat is a sheep despite them both being mammals.)
I think TVP is/was soya protein - can you still buy it outside pies?
Rankest vegetarian food... has to be vegan cheese substitutes. Probably OK for filling holes in Victorian plaster. Doubt whether the mice would touch them.
But they're not "yesteryear"
I'm afraid generic hippie red-bean stew has to be up there. That is of yesteryear, isn't it? Please? Though triangular breadcrumbed nut-cutlet-mix sausages probably did beat it...

Yeah, TVP is dried soya mince. Sainsburys sell it in big bags and you just mix with water and use as normal mince. Use it like it's named (Textured Vegetable Protein) with a lot of sauce and it's fine, try to base a meal around it and you'll be horribly disappointed.laptop said:

ive tried many cheeses, even posh expensice cheese that cheese connoisseurs eat, & it failed to impress melaptop said:You just haven't met the right fromage yet
the only animal product i actually like nowadays is actual meat, and even though i eat it sometimes, i can happily eat without it
remember people, cheese is just a state of mind, you can break the addiction to animal milk, why not talk to Frank or something, he might be able to help you with his unbiased advice

Interestingly, on the cheese point, some cultures simply don't use it at all. Chinese food, for example, does not make any use of cheese or dairy products as far as I know. I think it simply does not feature in chinese cuisine at all (when was the last time you saw a dairy-based chinese dish?).

Chinese people don't secrete lactase beyond a few years old: it's how we all used to be, only Westerners, by dint of drinking milk over the millenia, seem to have stopped cutting off lactase production. Quite a lot of Westerners, even so, are lactose-intolerant, and I suspect it's at least sometimes probably genetic, and to do with the lactase thing.poster342002 said:
Wookey
Muppet is not a slur
My sister-in-law is Thai, and she told me that Westerners smell funny because of all the dairy products we eat. Yuck.
I like sosmix still, and beanfeast.
I think soya milk is one of the nastiest things I've ever tasted, I had a sip of one that was sweetened with apple juice, and I had to spit it out - and as you know, I never spit!
Vegan cheese is rathy manky too.

Sounds a bit similar to those hard, sticky bars of nougat filled with nuts and wrapped in rice-paper you can get.

Strange that... bloody journalists and their misleading informationFuchs66 said:
There's also the factor of sunlight (for vitamin D production) and exercise, which are essential for bone strength
'tis easier and more profitable to market milk and calcum tablets than it is to persuade people to go outside more and exercise...
Fuchs66 said:Oh I dont know, in Poland you can get bigger bits and when reconstituted, dipped in herby breadcrumbs and fried they are great, I have fooled Germans (!!!!!) into believing that they are eating real meat.
Can I just point out that anyone mistaking soya, no matter how many breadcrumbs and herby bits it has added, for any form of meat has no tastebuds whatsoever. They're either lying to spare your feelings or they're possibly the worst judge of tastes since life begun.
Either that or they've lived, cut off from society, in a cave somewhere, only having access to a diet of random Bernard Matthews chicken-based products for a decade or two.

On the other hand, I have - I regret to say - eaten stuff which called itself meat or poultry and yet could, very easily, be mistaken for soya....

Food snob? From Captain Ketchup that's almost a compliment.
I've seen EE in real life too. He's a wrong un and make no mistake. He only eats from the Kids' menus and smothers his plate in a faeces-coloured slop of brown sauce, ketchup and marmite. He swigs three pints of sunny delight with every meal, before going slightly doolally, gurning down Stockwell High Road and scaring children.
It speaks volumes that he's an advocate for soya-based nastiness...
i still use TVP occasionally in spag bol..if you spice it/herb it/garlic it up it can be alright and the price is so right!
over 10 years ago now my x- bf mum always gave us several BIG bags of sosmix for xmess
she went for "practical gifts" we'd also get litre sized bottles of cheap shampoo and plenty of socks as well
nut roast?
those were £2 from holland and barret back when dole was £36 a week
so maybe we would have it for xmess,once a friend who was a lecturer severed it to us ..its costly to make cos nuts are expensive, can be VERY tasty tho
the thing we tried for a "treat" to take on a camping trip once back then 13 odd years ago which was VILE are those squeezy tube vegan/veggie "pates" from h&B..disgusting
we would eat the sosmix when we were REALLY skint and had no other food around..it was a pain to make but not THAT bad as far as i remember.some of the linda mc c products back then didnt taste all that nice(have since been improved i think?)and you could NEVER get her stuff cheap, now due to quorn being so much better/more popular lindas stuff is always on offer,i dont ever eat it now tho
