Sorry it's not really related but I thought maybe people on this thread may have more ideas.

 

I'm kind of tired of roasting or steaming butternut and looking for some other ways to use it/cook etc.

Thank you.

I went to one of these Gastronomy dinner evenings with about 12 different taster plates and being the vegetarian one of them was butternut cooked 3 ways.... it all tasted the same.

I've never really used Bulgar wheat before and taste wise i'm not sure how different it is to quinoa but it's quick and simple to make (just soaked in hot water for 15 minutes last night) - just chop up some veggies, add vegan country cylindrical shaped edible things, spice and dressing as desired I guess. 

 

add some bulk to an otherwise bland salad.

Cube tasting kitchen when they were in maboneng

 

We've only been to the pop-up Cube when they were in Bryanston for how ever few months it was. What I do remember was one of the dessert courses. Blew my mind! I made such a fuss the chef brought me a second helping... 

 

We're keen to go try out the new Est Est Alea soon. 

 

If you like that tasting plate vibe, save up and go to DW11-13 for some of the best veg food you'll probably ever eat. And the best service. Its a great experience.

Can Vegan's stop appropriating our food.  If it looks like sausage, then it is sausage, so please stop with the delicious looking fake meat products.  Get your own format of packaging....

really? good to know. when my friends went and I looked at the menu I felt I'd be getting a raw deal with the vegetarian options.

did a whiskey and food pairing once as well and I was really not impressed with the lack of effort to put something interesting together for the vegetarians (so i just drank)

You have to ask if their goal is to convert people and make a real change or is to just to make  statement.

A statement in bad taste.

More harmful to the 'cause' than Gillette keelhauling male clients. 

Makes me think of a statement by an old guy when his opinion was asked on "fighting for peace".

His answer: Fighting for peace is like f@cking for virginity. 

 

A few things I do not get about vegans is the fakeness.

Food that looks like meat. WTF? 

Food that tastes like meat. Ditto.

Less environmental impact. And then you fly your fake food around the globe with A1 jetfuel. Ditto.

Going to try this sometime when I can get around to an Albert Heijn: 

 

Naturli 'Mince'

@Eldron this is from a Danish brand - you should find some and try it. 

 

Most of the local supermarkets have a Naturli section in the Vegan section - they make a fine mince.

 

We mostly use Naturli or Khorm. Naturli is the best vegan mince I have found so far - it has great texture - that same "flexi squish" that beef mince has. Most people would not know they were eating vegan mince if they ate a Naturli mince curry.
