Tezza Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 8 hours ago, paulo said: I think Tezza is just pissed at everyone because nobody liked his favourite xmas song which ironically is about making gravy for the roast dinner and includes the line... "I'm gonna make some gravy, I'm gonna taste the fat" You must have liked it, you obviously listened to it. It's not my favorite song by the way, it is an iconic song. You obviously have not tasted my vegan gravy and you can have a roast without meat, that is easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWS Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 A newish fad is Mock Meat. They are trying to make rice, mushrooms, legumes, yam flour, pressed-tofu, etc. taste like meat. But NO ONE is trying to make meat taste like rice, mushrooms, legumes, yam flour, pressed-tofu, etc. And there's a reason for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 As far as "I" am concerned, meat is good and good for me. What I really wish they would do is make the buns out of something non-grain like almond or coconut flour (or casava)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But NO ONE is trying to make meat taste like rice, mushrooms, legumes, yam flour, pressed-tofu, etc. And there's a reason for that! You don't need to do that. Lentils and red beans boiled together and then part mashed, leave the thick paste to dry for an hour or so then fry in a pan as you would mincemeat, add a little soy sauce, that's your base for a bolognaise, then just add chopped vegetables and tomato paste. I successfully tricked avid meat eaters into believing they were eating a mincemeat bolognaise. What you like based on taste can change drastically but most are not aware of this. They say they like things because of the taste but that is just learned and can be unlearned. When I was forced due to illness, to go vegan, it was difficult at first and I tried to make dishes that tasted like meat. As I learned to properly cook a range of vegetables and various sauces to compliment I stopped trying to make things taste like meat and much prefer the taste of vegetables now. The only reason they are trying to make vegie concoctions that taste like meat is to try to provide a bridge for meat eaters because the majority still eat meat of some sort, so they are appealing to a bigger market. To me vegetable dishes have much more flavor and texture than meat dishes but this would sound strange to meat eaters who have been brainwashed into thinking vegetables are flavourless. What I am going to eat right now: Brown rice (that has been sitting in water for 2 hours so it takes less time to cook) Chopped carrots Chopped cauliflower and Brocolli Red beans and lentils Chopped capsicum triangles Sultanas and nuts Zucchini and onions Curry base Hardest vegetables into the pan first or cut smaller so they cook quicker. Ingredients are cheap, easy to source and will last a long time in fridge or can. (no smelly meat to go off) Cooking time under 15 minutes (easy to make) Low heat gas (cheap gas bill) No washing up because the frying pan and saucepan are rinsed and ready to dry before eating, minimal detergent, if any at all (no animal fat to clean) Tastes fantastic with all vegetables retaining their original taste. No animals killed or forced to live tortured lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to listen to something and not like it, but in fact I did neither - just googled the lyric. I think we both know he wasn't talkin' about the vegan gravy for the nut cutlets. Just seemed funny given the discussion going on here that you liked that song. 😀 Enjoy whatever........I don't care what people do as long as they don't start preaching.

Dave Gelzleichter Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I don't get to this section of the forum to often. But reading this thread has reminded me why they don't allow politics or religion on the forum. I am passionate about both. But when it comes to food I say "eat and let eat".🍴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Tezza, eat what you want, and I'm glad it works for you. I'm at the agree to disagree phase, as the discussion is going nowhere. This will be my last response. Peace to you and I truly wish you good health. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
