Your strong ethical stance on not consuming animal products makes me sick!

Man, dino., that carrot, mustard, cumin and lime dish you suggested to me a while ago has become a firm favourite. It's so bloody good, and more so when you consider how few ingredients there are and how simple it is. :hfive:

A medical doctor told my mother to go on the paleo diet.


Mom has an anxiety disorder that makes her digestive system go apeshit. Or a very sensitive digestive system which is easily upset by her anxiety disorder. Either way, fermented dairy products are some of the only foods she can eat when she's sick, and nuts and seeds make things worse. Luckily, she was able to get a referral to an actual gastrointerologist and never had to see that nutjob again.


I'll spoil the ending: She retired from her terrible, stressful job and now eats pretty much whatever she wants. :)

I have absolutely no contempt for you, dino. You've shown me that there are vegans who choose to be vegan because they want to or feel it's right. It just seems that you're in the minority because being pseudo-vegan and humblebragging about it to feel superior seems to be a trend right now.

It's not as prevalent here, thankfully, or I'd probably be shooting my mouth off at them because I just don't have any filtering ability with douchebag vegetarians and vegans in public settings. Not only do they make us all look bad, but they usually have no loving idea what they're talking about (I'm a vegan just like you! Hey would you like this fish sandwich?). It's like any diet that goes though a fad period and I look forward to some other thing coming along so they can all go choke on fruit leather or something.

On the other hand, around here you get a lot of "You're a vegan/vegetarian?! Ohmigosh, how long?! I could NEVER do that! But you eat chicken right?! How about a chicken enchilada?!" from the waiters and waitresses and random people at the grocery store and :cripes: I just asked to substitute broccoli for chicken on my pasta, why do you want to know my whole life's story!? Or they get really defensive. But they did that in Okinawa too so I got used to it. Angry little asian ladies growling at me asking why I didn't eat my pork in tiny little hole in the wall restaurants (that were incredible). :3:

Though I'll admit if someone at the grocery store sees me pick up like, tofu or something, and they ask me how to cook it I'll probably shoot off on a twenty minute talk so I don't mind the grocery store quite as much.

No, it was pretty obviously a joke, and dino got unnecessarily butthurt about it.


Tbh though, I don't really get the idea that "you just can't date someone" because of food preferences, as long as those preferences are reasonably healthy - and the person is open-minded enough not to throw a fit because you want to eat at Ethnic House of Foreign Food sometimes.

^^ The instances you listed are pretty much the only dealbreakers honestly. Everybody has food preferences, and if you do more than just roll your eyes when (in your opinion) somebody couldn't be more wrong for disliking something, then it is you who is the weirdo.


Somebody in this thread once mentioned dating somebody who would only eat white food.

That's a dealbreaker, ladies!


edit: Though I will say I was pretty heartbroken when my boyfriend LOATHED something really nostalgic I grew up on: Grass soup!*


*No actual grass in the soup, we just called it that when we were young. We also put buttermilk in instead of sour cream, and parsley instead of beet leaves.

I kind of ignorantly assumed that this weird flavor profile wouldn't be an acquired taste though, and he did a spit-take when he tried it. :( But whatever more for me!

Dear used car dealers: automatic with steptronic option is not "manual transmission" killyourselfplz.

Re: babby foodists. It depends I think. If the person is willing to try new things and then form an opinion about them without throwing an awful tantrum then I think that is fair. For me, new food experiences are akin to travelling to new places, or trying a new hobby or something, if the other person isn't willing to try new things and only ever wants to go to mcd when in paris or some such poo poo, yeah, that's not gonna work out.

MY WIFE is awesome though and loves trying new foods.

Have I invented a dish that no one else has? I think that's impossible. I've found that subing chicken with boudin noir in alfredo is pretty much one of the tastiest things ever. I googles it but I don't see anyone ever posting anything about it. You should try it. It makes it grey instead of white but drat it's tasty. Also, blood sausage is one of the tastiest things ever so if you haven't tried it, you should. Don't be a pussy, dino.

Just speaking for myself, I wouldn't want to mask the taste of the blood/spices with alfredo. Maybe we eat different boudin, though.

Grate carrots.
Heat a bit of oil in a frying pan or skillet until smoking.
Toss in some cumin and mustard seeds. Cook for a minute or so until they pop.
Add carrots. Turn heat down a bit, stir and cook.
When sufficiently cooked (to your liking) add salt.
After 5 minutes add some lime or lemon juice.

SO drat GOOD. Much better than one would think with those simple ingredients. It's goddamn vegan alchemy.

You need two mixing bowls, one with ice in it, the other for your cream mixture. Now whip it until it freezes. I hope you have Popeyes arms.

Get a chunk of dry ice, break it up a bit, put it into food processor, process, stir into cold ice cream base over ice, whip into soft serve damned near instantaneously, freeze, eat, enjoy.

If you live in a city with bars and restaurants, you probably have ice shops or an AirGas store. Google map search for ice shop or dry ice in your area. Call them up and ask if they have dry ice for walk-in customers (some only sell to restaurants in bulk). Usually $10 a brick, which can last for hours.

Places that sell gasses usually have dry ice. Check if there's a place nearby that fills CO2-tanks for homebrewers or something. Alternatively a pyrotechnics/stage effects dealer, as dry ice is used to form that ever so ominous floor hugging smoke. They'll probably ask you what you're going to use the dry ice for, just come clean and say ice cream as they're double checking that you're not gonna put the dry ice in a pressurized container and make dry ice bombs.

Also if you don't want to run the carbonation risk, you can also set up a larger bowl filled with your chunks of dry ice, and set your bowl of mix on top, then rapidly mix it. You'll probably want to pour in a bottle of isopropyl or ethanol or something (into the dry ice, not your base) to more completely allow heat transfer.

I've never done it by hand, but the key is to keep scraping the frozen layer off the bowl... you want to make the ice crystals as small as possible.
