Is that a slider on a Hawaiian roll out is there something more to it?

Potato is mainly carbs and fiber. Corn is protein, carbs and fiber. Ground corn has been a staple of the Mesoamerican diet for centuries and is highly nutritious when done correctly.

Cool, corn chips are still not a vegetable any more than Cheetos are a vegetable. Fresh sweet corn and you'd be on to something

I did sunny-side up eggs, hash browns, and sausage for breakfast.

Dinner will be sloppy joes.

We're having sloppy joes for dinner too, with french fries.
It's a lazy Manwich kind of night.

You should have coffee ice cream with hot fudge sauce and a brownie.

That's 3 people with sloppy joes on the brain, must be a good sign. Can't wait to make mine tomorrow! I didn't realize I was out of green lentils so it's not happening tonight.

Almost had some Hawaiian Sliders but ended up going with BBQ Chicken Pizza instead. McGriddles are pretty amazing though.

I followed the pizza with a tablespoon of wasabi. It was a mistake.

Comparing organic corn chips to Cheetos is like comparing whole corn to candy corn. Try again.

Exactly. French fries are rarely fried.

Corn chips, organic or not, are not vegetables. Americans treating it like a serving of vegetables explains a lot about your obesity epidemic all the same

If you could count it as a serving of vegetables I guarantee Frito Lay and everyone else would have that shit prominent on all of their packaging. Imagine selling junk food as a vegetable. So much money to be made. Culinarily, nutritionally, legally... It's fried (or baked) grains.

It's like comparing candy corn to organic candy corn. Still candy still bad for you and still not a serving of vegetables
---

Frito lay corn chips have 3 ingredients. They are a good example of mass produced over processed food.

Other related brands, not so much.

One of the oldest treatments for ground corn is salt and lime. It's an ancient way of treating corn for consumption and storage.

that's great, and it doesn't make corn chips any more of a vegetable there sunny. they're made from a variety of grain corn. A variety that is totally different from immature sweet corn. you could not eat it raw.

Ew. Manwich is way too sweet for me. Heh.

Do you make the sauce from scratch?
My sister does and I have the recipe, but I always keep a can in the house for nights I'm feeling lazy.

Congrats you're sending yet another message to tell me that you are eating a type flint corn which is purely grain and not vegetables. Classic Sunny

It's really easy to do from scratch. Manwich kind of tastes like sugary ketchup sauce

Hunters pie, Potatoes and garden peas. Probably have a snack or something later too.

Is Hunter's Pie made of venison?

Sloppy joes are in the pressure cooker. No bread in the house so I'm having the mix served on brown rice, broccoli, and cauliflower.

Ribs

Mac & cheese

Chicken wings in a bit

Does this actually taste like chicken, or is the trick to avoid chicken for awhile then eat it so your body isn't making a direct comparison to something you ate recently?

We are having McDonald's chicken nuggets and fries for dinner tonight.

I forgot how good larabars are and I just bought a pile of them on sale. Lazy breakfasts and snacks ahoy!

It does in the way that many things taste like chicken. It's a pretty neutral flavor. Chicken like. I had this stuff before going vegan and it was good then. Mock meat is not exactly the same as actual meat but that's not necessarily bad. The were a lot of untasty aspects of meat when I was eating it. You never get random gristle, fat, bone, veins, clots, cysts, etc. in something like Gardein. Most of the flavor in meat dishes is with sauces and spices and you can do that with mock meat very easily.

I'm not planning on eating any more chicken. That stuff pictured tastes good and isn't a dead animal and that works for me.

Gonna make seitan today, found my recipe and getting to work now.
---

Why are you trying to fool yourself? That shit doesn't look anything like chicken, and I'm sure it doesn't taste like it or feel like it.

Just eat an animal if you want to eat animals. Vegans are so fucking annoying.

You're mad that veg people make plants look like food. Check yourself. Animals don't come shaped like hamburger patties or sausages or bacon strips or chicken tenders. They don't come seasoned or sauced. Animals don't look like food until you kill them and remove their outsides and fix them up with plants. They're not food until you erase any hint of them having been a creature.

You don't need to kill an animal to make food look or taste that way. You want to eat meat? Go chomp on some fresh raw bodies with the faces still attached. Hold the sauce.

Until then, you like food, not meat.

Yesterday I made crispy seitan sandwiches. They were pretty good, would do it with different spices next time. Tonight was seitan vegetable stir fry on spicy noodles. Had vegetarian spring rolls and tempura vegetables with it. Now having chai tea and some tasty walnut brownies.

There's going to be soooo much food tomorrow and this week I'm tired thinking about it

Explain chicken wings

Portuguese tradition is bacalhau (codfish), and potatoes and kale for Christmas Eve, and then on Christmas Day we mix all the left overs together and fry it up with olive oil and eggs. The fried up left overs are so bomb.

Not sure today (Xmas)

Start with that left over pizza and a whiskey and coke then its either what Grandma comes up with or I pick something up at 7-11

Oh shit I found these. Frozen and not looking in the best shape. But still, will try them soon. They're not officially available in Canada yet and one market has a hook up. 11.50 for two patties... Worth trying but even if they're amazing I'm not getting them again until they're widespread and cheap.

The city has such a good selection of options. I stocked up on 4 kinds of tofu, vegetarian duck, soy curls, jackfruit, and so many spices. I've got enough curry paste to cook for a small army.

The frozen burgers are $6 each?!
That's a lot of money considering the fact that you have to cook them.

They're not available here so there's a huge mark up where you can find it. I've heard it's much cheaper in the US. Something like 6 bucks a pack. Still more pricy than beef. They don't get that sweet agrisubsidy like meat makers

A little freezer burned for sure. Still going to cook it up

I had half a Quiche Lorraine for the day. Tomorrow is 8 sausages in bacon and cheddar.

My sister took me out to a vegetarian Vietnamese place yesterday

We shared shredded smoked tofu salad rolls



And then each had what they called their vegan pho. It was a really good soup, but it was missing some spice. Tasted light on the anise. Still delicious.
