I've been vegan for almost 4 years now, and I never crave "plant-based meat replicas" anymore. With the exception of vegan nuggets a few times a year (tenders used to be a comfort food), every time I'm choosing veggie burgers over Beyond/Impossible, etc. Well, it's the 4th of July and I bought Field Roast Stadium Dogs to get in the spirit of the holiday. In my omni days I appreciated a quality hot dog once in a great while. Multiple reviews have said what I bought are the "best" vegan hot dogs so I thought it was a safe bet and hopefully a fun treat.
Oh. My. God. Was I ever wrong. They smelled so bad when I opened the package, but I let that go. I cooked them on a grill pan to get the grill marks and a nice sear. The smell did improve a bit with cooking, but the texture was really odd and the taste was, to put it diplomatically, off putting. Almost like bad quality canned meat. It's hard to find the right words. A pretzel bun, sauerkraut, and good mustard barely masked the awfulness.
I realize taste is completely subjective so plenty of people must love them, and I would never judge them for it. More so, I think the real reason I'm sharing this review is to say that it's amazing how quickly your palate evolves beyond replacing meat and instead craves food made from real and healthy(ish) ingredients. We're all entitled to junk food and generally treating ourselves now and then, but I think my days of wanting imitation meat are now over.
I don’t live near this place anymore or else I would go here every day lol. I would love to recreate this savory bowl at home though. I can clearly tell the kale, chickpeas, cranberries, couscous are there but I think everything else is in the sauce. Any tips or recommendations? Also where to find this huge couscous?
I got some purple sweet potatoes and was looking for some options and found these bars! Unfortunately it wasn't vegan but I was able to sub: I used Miyoko's recipe for butter, Country Crock Whipping Cream, and 2T cornstarch per 3T water for each egg. I doubled everything to make a pie. I ended up not using all the coconut but I like the proportions to have more pie to cream. I also subbed one cup of the graham crackers with 1 cup of pecans ran through the food processor. Delicious! Just the right level of sweetness, next time I would add more cardamom.

Are any buldak noodles vegan. I see conflicting responses. Some of the noodles have artificial chicken flavoring with no dairy, but does anybody know for sure before I eat some?

Because I hate wasting aquafaba and had no time to be fancy!
First time ordering Rebel Cheese - very excited.
It was shipped Friday and arrived Monday in the midwest heat.
The ice bags were completed melted, and the cheese was room temperature.
It's been in the fridge overnight and everything hardened up.
Obviously with dairy cheese, this would be garbage.
But for vegan cheese, is there a good chance it's OK?
We've written to the company to get their advice but curious if anyone has an opinion here.
Thanks.
Edit: Been eating it - it's awesome. And no issues.
i'm going to buy some of the strive animal free whole milk which has fermented whey protein and am trying to think of the best ways to use it. there is no casein so anything involving curdling is out. i'm thinking soups and chai would be good to try, maybe pasta sauces? anything that would really benefit from the presence of whey or different flavor from the plant based options
