What have you been eating?

If you can get my access to the forum CSS I can add it in pretty easily. I do webdev consulting on the side.

That sounds great - I'll drop you a message about it soon

EDIT - dropped you a PM.

Revisiting my home-country. Obligatory "Bar Mleczny" feast. All this for under $15

[Jubal]

Ooh, lovely - and yes, that seems very good value! Your home country being Poland, right?

And what are the various dumpling-like things? It all looks very edible but I wouldn't know what most of the items were...

Also, woops, should move this thread to somewhere accessible now the Food forum has been archived.
Moved to the Boozer.

From left to right it's:
* Pierogi Ruskie (with cheese and potato)
* Kapusniak (cabbage soup)
* Salatka (red cabbage salad)
* Pierogi z kapusta i grzybami (sauerkraut and mushroom)
* Plate of potatoes, fried beets. salad and "schabowy" (polish pork cutlet)
* Far right: leniwe (potato dumplings in sweet sauce)

Awesomes

(What do you think of the board reorganisation btw now it's done? It doesn't go quite as far as some of your ideas, but it's very significantly reduced the scale of the main index and we've archived quite a lot of subforums)

I've been doing a little vegetarian experiment mostly not eating any meat. I've been trying all the vegan faux meat products and they're surprisingly good.



The lightlife Italian sausage was damn good, the tofurkey deli slices pretty good too. the morning star breakfast patties are good too, but they're more like falafel haha. None of it really tastes like meat, but the flavor is good on its own and the lightlife texture was pretty close




I could see myself eating more of this stuff in lieu of meat but... I donno, I'm not entirely convinced an industry produced reconstructed soy product with 30 other additives is really healthier than antibiotic infused chicken

[Jubal]

Yeah, I think the main reason if I went vegetarian (which I probably won't) would be wider environmental impact rather than personal health, stop quite so much rainforest being mowed down to farm cows and so on. I am quite interested by some of these new pseudomeat products, and the possibility of actually lab-growing meat, though; could well be that in a few decades animal farming will be a much more minority activity.

[Koobazaur]

I've heard that creating all the faux meat substitutes isn't necessarily environmentally friendly either, but I don't have any good studies to cite.

[Jubal]

Aye, I can imagine that some of them aren't. Always hard to know with these things!

Hi there!

I'm always into eating, so right after registering I'm into eating thread.


Well I moved some time ago, so I'm eating palermitano, general armadillo.
prezzo speciale is a white bun with filling, i'm vege, so beschamel, spinaci and mozzarella

pizza - margherita or marinara.



and my skin is dying.

Eating is always good

I'm being really unimaginative with food lately... I should get back to teaching myself more Caucasus recipes, but I'm finding myself struggling with most things as I'm really exhausted a lot of the time

[Caradìlis]

I'm trying to cook more recently, a) because I find it a fun and relaxing activity and b) because it means I actually have to eat the stuff I cooked...

I don't really do recipies (unless I'm baking or stuff), it's more of an experimentation, but things usually turn out fine...

I made steamed carrots with parsil and a smidge of butter today, was nice...

I've been eating weirdly the last week or so, I've been tired all the time for as long as I can really remember and apparently this is a common symptom of autoimmune diseases (although this is just mental fatigue for me, I've never had an physical symptoms apart from mild skin conditions). Since my mum was diagnosed as gluten intolerant (actually I think she was originally misdiagnosed as full celiac) for seven years I thought perhaps I might have celiac. And gluten free diets have been shown to alleviate symptoms in other autoimmune disorders. So going gluten free seems worth trying (although I'm going to have to start eating gluten again soon so I can get an accurate test for celiac).
Now a gluten free diet alone is not that weird. But since it seems a lot of folk have had success dealing with chronic fatigue, depression etc by using elimination diets I thought I'd give it a go. So basically my diet for the last week has consisted of a fairly limited variety of veg, a portugal load of meat, bit of rice and some fruit smoothie. Except for the entire bar of chocolate I ate today because I'm coldly and armadillo.
What am I doing?
Why?
Eurgh.

Today, two Shrove Tuesday traditions: my pancake, and an Austrian "krapfen" - an apricot jam doughnut - which are the usual food for the day here
