Vegan comfort food
When the weather is cold and damp and grey, or when you're just feeling blue - what food/s bring you comfort???
I've just had for my lunch 2 'doorstep' slices of fresh, crusty farmhouse bread, lightly toasted until golden brown, spread liberally with Pure margarine and topped with a more than generous quantity of Granovita Original Yeast Pate.
More than hit the spot on a grey, rainy and cold day
Blackadder: Baldrick, have you no idea what irony is?
Baldrick: Yes, it's like goldy and bronzy only it's made out of iron.
Porridge with Raisins and a little bit of Soya Cream.
Roast Potatoes.
Warm Pitta bread with Homous.
Leek and Potato Soup.
Mashed potatoes
Baked potatoes
Potato chips
French fries
(there might be a connection..)
Toast with Earth Balance + strawberry jam
When I don't feel well :
Anything with chocolate in it.
Oriental pasties or Asian cakes
Salty snacks, nuts or dried fruits...
When it's cold :
Very warm French onion soup
Warm apple crumble with vanilla cream
Angels' hairs
And very hot peppermint tea or liquorice infusion
One day, I'll die from an Asian junk food overdose ! lol
First place has to go to curry, second, sausage and mash with nice gravy.. Mmmm
I bet Yoda was a vegan
Oooh sausage and mash with onion gravy, yum!!Cloudy
Blackadder: Baldrick, have you no idea what irony is?
Baldrick: Yes, it's like goldy and bronzy only it's made out of iron.
anything to do with potato.. mmmmm chips
please could you stop the noise? i'm trying to get some rest from all the unborn chicken voices in my head.
Some disgusting overprocessed beans-in-a-tin called "Mexibeans" that are basically baked beans Mexican-style! They're my weaknessSo I usually team them with lots of veggies and salad to make up for the disgustingness. Hm.... comfort food.... my favourite kind of food!
Banana sandwiches (in pita bread).
And fig cookies.
Anything sweet or chocolatey, but my favourite "I'm feeling sorry for myself" food has got to be vegan fudge.
Vegan Brownies, and peanuts, too!
I have too many comfort foods.
All 4 of em.
Chunky tomato soup with seasoned popcorn.
In one sitting????

oatmeeeeel, mac and chreese, pb sandwiches, toast with starwberry perserves, tomato soup, pancakes
Deep Fried falafel and french fries.

Oooh, falafel! How could I forget??
I havent had a french fry in years!!! honestly! I used to looooad mine with massive amounts of ketchup and salt...im a salt feind
I never deep fry falafel...Ive always just pan fried it...still comes out pretty good....deep frying scares me
Medjool dates are at the top of the list, followed by:
- toasted sourdough bread with avocado
- thick bean soup
- oatmeal
- rice balls (like falafel)
I would have to say Vegemite on toast. It's the little Aussie in me
Me too, I do not even own a deep fryer (although I do want to buy one just for falafel and French fries).
The only situation where I get to indulge in deep fried falafel is when I visit a vegan or vegetarian restaurant that offers them (like Soul Vegetarian).
BTW, I am munching on another comfort food right now, Enviro-Kids chocolate chip waffles with Earth Balance spread and maple syrup.
I dont do much frying so i like a full english vegan grill up.
Vegan Soysages
Scrambled Tofu
Beans
Toms
Doorstep Toast
2 thick slices of smoked tofu
Chestnut mushrooms
A pint of tea
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
i know, one just isn't enough!

my comfort foods are Green & Black's chocolate, pasta, houmous, soup and granary bread, curry and pizza (not all at once ha ha).

In cold weather I enjoy my herbal teas & miso soups. Okay I enjoy those in any weather.

It's vegan, which means it's vegetarian which means there's nothing unheathy in it. -- my guy trying to explain vegan junkfood.
