Vegan comfort food

[missbettie]

ok thats how i did it...maybe its an aquired taste...well i mean they tasted good but the burps! oh the burps!!!! lol

[veganwitch]

^those sound good. the chips. not the burps. ;)
I'll have to try them.

[xwitchymagicx]

How can crispy kale be the same as crisps?! It just won't happen.

Mmmmmmmmmm crisps...I eat massive bags in one sitting if I allow myself. :hmm: Corn chips and houmous or g/f pretzels and houmous. Oh yes.

I prefer savoury to sweet...cake and stuff just makes me feel sick in excess!

[missbettie]

^ I agree! You know I really love potato chips and ketchup. thats my favorite.

witchy, you need to pretend with me, don't rain on my parade!!! :D

[xwitchymagicx]

Okay. :satisfied: I just really hate kale, I've tried in hundred thousand ways and I still hate it!!!!!!1 :devil: Don't give a monkey's right ear how good it is for you, still not eating it. :D

[missbettie]

hahahaha. funny. :D

Mmm I just read about brussle sprouts - loves em' raw. Never cooked.
And I'm really into tomato slices with freshly cracked black pepper over them...
And sliced raw sweet potato, turnip sticks...Basically every single vegetable in their raw form MMMM

[pavotrouge]

never even thought of eating brussels sprouts raw... any favourite dip for them?

[chefness]

Mainly I love them plain but if I ever feel like dipping vegges it's usually in this tastey dijion cayenne sauce I like to make...Mmm the spicier the better. :)

It goes very well with any vegge sticks (turnip, sweet potatoe, carrots, cuke, even apple and pear slices) LOVES IT. haha

[Blueberries]

Mashed potatoes with peas and loads of brown sauce!
I also am partial to soup, it I'm too lazy to make my own I also love Baxter's Carrot and Butterbean or Healthy Autumn Vegetable.
Also the obvious ones, chips and pizza!

[xwitchymagicx]

Stir fry...

I have no idea why, but...yum...I espesh love it with butterbeans and rice noodles...

Butterbeans, mixed veggies and rice noodles with gluten free soya sauce. :heart:

[jessiejessie]

VEGENAISE!! With everything... potato salad, chip dips, on burgers, with fries.. mmm soo bad but soo good, haha. And chocolate almond milk. Mmmm.

[pavotrouge]

at the moment, I am obsessed with rice, stir-fried mushrooms and kejap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce). Perfect for breakfast :)

Toast with sunflower Pure. Goes back to childhood. And I love nooch on it.

Say you've had a really shitty day what would you eat to cheer you up?

What's your vegan comfort food?

Back a few months ago I would just head to a bar have a nice beer and some fries, but I've quit drinking and I'm a bit more health conscious these days, so some staples for me when I've had a bad day are

Falafel and Hummus

Chocolate Chip Cookies and Soy Milk

A cup of earl grey and a vegan scone

A nice spicy curry or Dosa

A vegan pizza

As strange as it may be, cereal and soymilk is my comfort food. I just can't get enough of the stuff. I'm trying to go raw, so I haven't had it in a long time but those vegan "macaroni and chreese" boxes were my comfort food. I used to love that crappy kraft mac & cheese garbage from my childhood so it's more indulging in nostagia than anything. I always had a weakness for pasta and bread, but I haven't had any in about a month. This time I think I'll stick to my comfortable 75% raw diet I'm at now.
..... Great... now I'm craving it, lol :p

[Bearshark]

I can tell I am going to like this thread :p I'm a big fan of comfort food, it doesn't take much for me to decide I need it!
My current favourite comfort food is a big pile of grilled polenta, I seriously love that stuff.
Also, crisps are another one, as well as a good ol' cup of tea. And grapes, randomly!

[nn]

I'm with Bearshark, chips.. or as we say in NZ 'chups'.

I like cornchups and salt and vinegar chups. Oh and cake. I loooove de cake.

Generally as long as I can devour it in jumbo proportions it's going. Emotional eater here :o

[DiaShel]

Any kind of baked goods. Muffins, scones, cake, cookies. Lately though, it's been more savory. Like Hell Pizza with cajun wedges and beer. That hits the spot!

[Bearshark]

OOOH Hells is amazing, I'm craving cajun wedges RIGHT NOW so I'm having them for my tea :P

[leedsveg]

Bubble and squeak sandwich.

I asked my boyfriend what he wants me to cook for him. I have him a list of options of food genres (Asian, Italian, Mexican, or North American comfort food). I have a feeling he might ask for the comfort food. We always eat something Asian-y or Italianesque.

I just wonder what kind of comfort food to make! What do omnivores find as comfort food? :p I'm thinking maybe I'll make shepherd's pie or macaroni and cheese (vegan, of course).

[Glen Lambert]

Here's what perks me up.

Sainsburys Basic instant mash with ground black pepper, Parmazano vegan cheese and vegan mayo in a bowl. Nom nom.

I would like to say that vegan choccy bars work too but the ridiculous cost of them always bums me out again.

Bubble and squeak sandwich.

:confused: Explain please?

[emmapresley]

Diashel..bubble and squeak is sort of left over cabbage and mashed potato..then i think you fry up some onions and white pepper and salt and put in the cold cooked cabbage and potatoes and turn it every so ofter so that after a good while its crispy cooked and brownly glowing all the way through..the name bubble and squeak comes from the noise it makes...er bubbling and hrrmm..squeaking?? (i may be making that last bit up)

i'm very comforted by hobnobs and liquorice chai atm. infact i just had some..and i tell you what..i might have some more in a bit. yes!!
