Cookin again

I like the taste of most of the vegetarian patties I’ve had, but I’ve also had allergic reactions to them as well. So I don’t mess around with them, myself.

The sole exception would be what I do with large portobello caps. Those, I occasionally bake with a bit of butter or EVOO and seasonings, and use them as a substitute for hamburger patties. They work pretty well. You can dress them up exa the same way you would a burger.

I do remember some company mixing their ground meat with ground portobello for a “healthier” burger experience before the “Impossible” brand and others blew up.

I would rather just eat a vegetarian pattie than an impossible burger pretending to be meat. Aren't they loaded with salt?

Bought a spuce pumpkin based burger patties and some kumara rostis. Both were great taste wise.

We have a few tins of chick peas to eat. They're not to bad roasted in the air fryer.

Never got to look at an ingredient list- I wrote them off almost immediately, because of my past with similar products.

Time to experiment then. Beetroot hummus was alright but it's not as nice as caramelized onion hummus.

Hummus is alright, but I prefer a baba ganoush to most hummus variants.

A Turkish place near me makes the best I’ve found. They do theirs with a stronger than usual smokiness.

Hmmmmm…have you ever smoked your hummus?

You can buy smoked hummus off the shelf here. Best baba ganoush was that Syrian place that shut down so so good. It was our favorite starter.

Donuts rare here but every cafe does a scone/biscuit pretty much. Deluxe Scone that was a freebie at our local place.



It's been sexed up a bit usually they're just a cheese scone. It's also our favorite place for a cheese roll.

Heard that you don't get black currents in USA that much as they were banned for decades. We can get cranberry juice but Ribena is a go to

Welllll…it’s complicated.

Are black currants illegal in the United States?

While black currants are the fruit of choice for traditional English scones, they were banned in the United States until pretty recently. I found this out when my friend Janet Peterson offered to...

Be that as it may, that looks tasty!

I know they're legal now just guessing they're not common. That juice was very tart makes cranberry juice taste like fanta. Was hoping for Ribena which is British but it's here. That's the sweet one.

Anathoth Farm Blackcurrant Jam - made in New Zealand

Favourite jam brand but haven't tried that flavour. Cupboard has boysenberry.

I think that jam is made by the juice company.

Said black current juice after water is added 3-1 ratio.

Low in Suger 2.4% and about out 1/4 of soda. Not very sweet.
