[RubyDuby]

[Mystic]

The first time I was in US waters I saw people eating sausages with syrup for breakfast and I was horrified. Apparently it is normal. I think it is nuts.

[bryzee86]

seriously, ruby. Never had a flat sausage! You people are craaaaaazy! Like putting "fluff" on sandwiches. like wtf??!!

[pavotrouge]

I'm on your side. Coming from sausage country, I can't approve of flat sausages.

[scarlett]

dont feel too bad about wanting to eat only stodge scarlett (although i dont know what stodge is, i asume its junk food ).

our bodies inherently know what season it is, and we crave certain foods during different seasons.
the reason you eat more fruit and veg during summer is because these foods are growing plenitifully throughout the summer.
as in the winter, these foods are not naturally available, you will not have the desire to eat them. during winter, we crave heartier, richer foods, and probably more "stodge" as well - lol.
same with in the spring you may crave more salads, and in fall: apples. these are the foods that are growing naturally.
some naturopaths and nutritionist even go as far as to say that eating too many raw fruits and veggies during winter is bad for you; it can throw your body out of wack. something to do with the illeocecal valve; i dont really know that much about it.
if your interested in this, there is a really great book on the topic; its called "eating alive" by john matsen.

Thanks petunia, that's really interesting, I'll have a look and see if I can the book I think of stodge as heavy, mainly starchy foods I guess.


I don't like sausage/bacon/maple syrup combos ! When I go back home (to Canada) my sis is always dishing maple syrup up with everything ! I take mustard (proper "HOT" mustard, not the funny sweet, mild stuff ) and yeast extract with me which makes her cringe

[bryzee86]

May I add that I've just eaten a massive sandwich with a nut cutlet, sauerkraut, lettuce and ketchup on. Man, I've eaten a lot today.

[Risker]

sauerkraut is morally wrong.

I had roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, peas and gravy for dinner.

[pavotrouge]

sauerkraut is morally wrong.

Why?
I think yorkshire puddings are

[Mystic]

what is a yorkshire pudding?

[Roxy]

Don't knock the old sausages & syrup until you've tried it! I'm a maple syrup addict and I'm so glad I discovered the sausage & syrup combo! Mmmmm!

Today:

2 cups of coffee with vanilla soy milk.
4 pieces organic multigrain toast with Soy Garden spread & agave nectar.

1 organic banana.

2 leftover Syrian pumpkin patties.

Dinner will probably be a salad wrap with hommus.

[emzy1985]

This is like my favourite thread and I haven't posted anything because I litterally haven't been eating and what I have eaten is so small that it wasn't worth writing. I dunno what is wrong with me cuz I love food soooo much and should be really really really fat! Anyway on the whole sausage and syrup debate...I'm English through and through and I love it. Sausage, bacon and pancakes with lots of syrup (The old omnis sometimes have egg with that as well and call it the AMERICAN BREAKFAST!) I can understand why you might be put off but I normally love things that sound gross cuz they are so yummy. The flat sausages are like burgers.....I just eat mine with normal sausages (all of the above vegan ofcourse hehe)

BREAKFAST:

Two slices of wholemeal toast with five bean pate on them and then some grilled tomatos and chopped fried mushrooms on top.

LUNCH/DINNER:

Enchiladas - wholemeal tortillas,garlic, spinach, mushrooms, two red peppers, sweetcorn, two red and two white onions in a tomato, garlic and plain yoghurt(to make it creamy) sauce topped with some toffuti mozzarella stuff with a massive side salad of fresh toms, lettuce and spring onions.

SNACK:

A few chips from my friends packet which was VERY naughty because I am so allergic to fish it's not even funny...was blind drunk though but still he should have known no to give them to me!

[pavotrouge]

yesterday:

pita bread with ajvar and tomato salad

mixed salad with romaine lettuce, rocket, tomatoes and chickpeas

a bowl of lentil soup

1 giant apple

Japanese curry with carrots, potatoes, mushrooms and tvp + rice

[xwitchymagicx]

clotted cream sounds gross! (I'm sure it was tasty... but blood is the only thing I know of that clots)

lol yeah I know, I can't remember what it is at the moment because, obviously anything like that hasn't interested me since before vegan days. lol

Clotted cream is a thick yellow cream made by heating unpasteurized cow's milk and then leaving it in shallow pans for several hours. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms 'clots'. Clotted cream purists prefer the milk to come from cows in the West Country, mainly from Devon and Cornwall

Then they have it with scones and jam. Cream tea. Oh man I wanna throw up that sounds so disgusting on that site...ew, the stuff I used to eat. I used to go to Cornwall and Devon all the time. lol

What was the vegan version like? What was it made of?

[xwitchymagicx]

I dunno what it was made out of.

It didn't taste too bad...I can't remember what non-vegan clotted cream tasted like so can't compare.
