OK, heres the first 10 I could think of:
1. falafel
2. Rice (esp brown and wild)
3. Potatoes
4. Hummus
5. Chickpeas
6. Lentils
7. Tofu
8. Tomatoes
9. Nuts (esp cashews and walnuts)
10. Brocolli
Mine is a vegtable/salad tortilla wrap. I put lots of vegtables or salad (or sometimes both) on a wrap and i love it.
ooo, can I have 2 Favourites please lol.
I love Falafel on rice, I usually make the rice a little spicy, with turmaric (just cause I like it yellow hehe) and some mixed veggies.
I also love pizza made with wholewheat and herb crust, my favourite topping is probably tomato sauce, sweetcorn, onion, peppers and black olives.
Has to be my home made lasagne, could eat it every day, loads of tommies and veg.
Come to the darkside, we have cookies!
anything italian, mexican or asian.

In a newspaper there was a question asked - what would you choose to eat if it had to be your last meal on earth? Oh I know, some would say 'chocolate', but I wonder if it came to it, what would be your choice?
Eve
How to choose? I know what my favorite is this week but it's bound to change as the seasons do.eve
So, this week it's Roasted Corn Chowder, Linguini with Kale and White Beans, and Medjool Dates. (someone on this forum got me started on those dates - I think it was one of the fruit girls, Banana or Strawberry- and I purchase them now whenever I see them. Very addicting.)

Sheppards pie (vegan ofcourse) with pineapple fritters
Dessert of leda luxury biscuits: DO NOT DIE WITHOUT HAVING THESE
http://www.ledanutrition.com/products/products/
Drink: kiwi Oasis (drool)
P.S. i would make a qualified vegan chef make all of the above, as i am the shittest cook and would reck my last meal, guaranteed
P.P.S. this whole selection may change in a weeks time, when i get bored with what i have chosen: stay tuned
have you tried the Leda luxury biscuits yet or are you just teasing? i went to the web site the other day and you could order the other but not the luxury. I want them Happycow!! where did you get yours please?
antony biscuitless
stralia
Hehe to tell or not to tell??
Well im in Adelaide, so i get them in Rundle mall health food shop!
But im not sure where you are? If you're in Melbourne i think Banana knows where to find them (Sunnybrook Health Food Store in Glenhuntly road, Glenhuntly according to one of her posts!) If not, you can always email the dude from the website, which is what i did, and he gave me the number to call for the distributers.
Good luck
Boo Hoo i'm in Sydney.happycow
I emailed them at the web site a few days ago bit the ain't responded yet. I'll wait a short while then try again
thanks and mooooo
antony
biscuitless in sydney
Well Antony, biscuitless in Sydney, good luck and god speed
A few of my favorites:
1. blueberries
2. asparagus
3. veggie maki (with emphasis on avocado)
4. lentils
5. fresh figs
6. mushrooms (all varieties, really, but I adore hen of the woods)
7. peanut butter
8. chocolate (the darker the better)
9. chard
10. quinoa
And for my last meal I'm presuming I fall down dead before my wheat allergy kicks in. Or perhaps this is why this is my last meal:
Appetizer: Potato-pea samosas (made wheat free so I can actually make it through my meal)
Soup course: Miso-mushroom soup
Salad course: Mixed greens with heart of palm, artichoke hearts, avocado, grilled mushrooms & asparagus
Main course: Health is wealth "chicken" patty on a bun with mustard, roasted red pepper and Follow Your Heart soy cheese & super crispy, spicy french fries (dipped in disgusting amounts of Vegenaise . . . I mean, if you've got to go . . .)
Dessert: Mad good chocolate cake w/ the full fat coconut sorbet and raspberries and caramel sauce
& then I presume I would burst.
I thought it would be nice to have a thread that is for foods you would give the thumbs up to. If their is one (I could not find it) please merge the thread Korn.
Well our local heath food shop have started stocking Clives Pies also sold here at Goodness Direct but I am lucky enough to be able to buy them on my doorstep now and they are Gert Lush the Muttz Nuttz the Cats Whiskers and all that.
I have had to date
Clive's Organic Arabian Chickpea Pie
Clive's Organic Creamy Mushroom Pie
Clive's Organic Hungarian Goulash Pie
Clive's Organic Mexican Chilli Pie
I am now getting a fat LOL no but serious they are nice and no Hydrolised Oil or Fats.
They also do some wheat and gluten free vegan pies.
NICE PIES CLIVE
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
Sigh...all full of onions as usual...
Onion Allergy ? bummer being vegan and not being able to eat Onions mind you my G/friend is wheat free that is just as tricky as most things vegan that are ready made are bulked with wheat.bittersweet
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
mmmm amys rice bowls are yummy
"you dont have to be tall to see the moon" - african proverb
Never had the rice bowls, but I give thumbs up to Amy's shepherd's pie, enchilladas and burritos.foxytina_69
"Man can do as he wills, but not will as he wills" - Arthur Schopenhauer
Only packaged foods? No veggies or anything?
Well then, I give a thumbs up to:
No Name brand baked beans in tomato sauce, only 59cents of 400+ml and yummy!
Amy's Cheeseless Bean Burrito
Soy Delicious Li'l Buddies ice cream sandwiches (10 times better than Toffuti)
Gandour cookies, vegan tea biscuits available in Mid East markets, but the bummer is hydrogentated oils
Toffuti Better Than Cream Cheese, very yummy!!!
I wouldn't worry, I was excited when I found them fresh about a year ago, but the novelty soon wore off. They are sold in quite a lot places I've been frozen if not fresh. The pasty is very brown and short, and I'm not a major fan of the fillings. They're okish, but I know I/you could cook better. The company does some nice looking puddings, but all are non vegan.bittersweet
My recommended food for the day is balsamic reduction. Easily nicer than champagne. All you need is some good quality 6% acidity dark balsamic (such as sainsburys taste the difference vintage balsamic de modena in the uk) and a saucepan that you reduce it in over a low heat, till the sugar content sweetens and it becomes viscous enough to coat the back of a spoon. Just had some marinated large mushrooms on cibatta with balsamic reduction and basil to celebrate the start of the weekend.
Does anyone remember mushroom and tofu Pukka pies, now they used to be vegan. We used to get them in our local health food shop years ago :0) I Haven't seen them for a long long time, and don't know if they still make them :0/ Although I know pukka pies are still in existance, sadly meat infested. But the tofu and mushroom pies were nice hehehe!! nothing like a little bit of junk food in your diet but saying that they were good for junk hehehe!!
Clives pies (the ones that are vegan) are ok I had one a while back. Ok for an easy dinner hehehe!!
Love and light
Xxxx Stormy xxxX
Something similar that I used to make.......but haven't done so for ages.Mr Flibble
Cut a few Roma tomatoes in half. Drizzle with a bit of balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar and then roast them in the oven. Yum!!!
In terms of recommendations:
lunnnnna bars and larabars.
food for life seven grain srpouted bread..sooo good
banana's dahl recipes (they are really good)
I also love amy's brown rice and veg, bowls (right on Foxy)
Be thankful for this moment, this moment is your life:)
Oh Mr Snuffleuppacus do not be so glum I am just sharing with some enthusiasm for those that may be interested, yes you can make better yourself and I do often but for quick and easy food in the week when I have been at the gym for two hours they are great.Mr Flibble
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
sorry, didn't mean to sound too gloomy, my post was in reply to bittersweet to say that all is not lost. I would recomend anyone to try them and see if they like them, they make a pretty good meal for zero effort ocassions
Has anyone tried Ambrosian (I think) frozen 'cheese' pasties? - you can buy them with onion, chive or baked beans - the baked bean ones are GREAT - all organic too....! They are in my local health food shop, though there never seem to be enough, they are always running out....
yea, have been buying them for the past year, not bad at all. They also also ok cold (after cooking) when I'm uber lazy and can't think of anything more imaginative to prepare to take into work with me.
Today's recomendation is Thai Boy Green Thai Curry Paste, which i've seen in various thai/chinese supermarkets (I got it from Wing Tai in south London) costing under 1 uk pound but only got round to using tonight (it's imported from thailand and has an american style listing of nutrician so is probably available in other countries too). A few years ago when i first started getting interested in thai food I went on a mission to find curry paste without seafood in it (too lazy to make it myself), and initially failed. Since then I've found various brands of red, yellow and green around the place and am working my way through them to see what I like best.
The best Thai I've ever had was at a work christmas do at The Mango Tree at Grosvener Place in London, but as it came to about 80-100 quid per head (inc booze) I don't think i'll be returning when paying myself! Tonight I've just made a green curry in 10 mins flat to match it thou, and it cost under a fiver for 2 portions.
I generally experiment with various ingrediants to get the taste just right, but after frying 15g of paste (about 10p worth) in some oil (it recomends 50g, but 15g is about as hot as I like my curries!), adding 100g peanut butter and 400ml coconut milk it didn't need any more ingrediants. A pack of Taifun smoked tofu (with almonds and sesame seeds) and 150g cooked whole wheat soba/udon noodles mixed in and I'd happy pay far too much for it in a resturant. Delicious
I used to love the Clives mushroom pies though I don't live near anywhere that sells them now. I never heated them up, just scoffed them on the way back from the shop, usually.
I've recommended Winner Swedish Soft (philadelphia style soya cream cheese) on another thread, but I'm going to put in a good word for it here too. Last time it was available for about 99p a tub from several supermarkets, beating Tofutti cream cheese on price, taste, and actual availability in supermarkets - then it wasn't available for a while, but they seem to be relaunching it this month.
They sell them in Coventry (25 miles from Leicester - walkable!) if you ever get desperate. I live about 150 yards from a good health food store, 200 from a Holland and Barratttwinkle
Let me recommend........This cheesecake recipe very very easy. YOU DONT HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL UR DOING TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
Base:
Take one packet of arnotts nice biscuits/oreos and blend in a blender with a couple of tablespoons of Nuttlex. Press into cake tin/dish and set in the fridge whilst you make the mix.
Filling: 2 tubs of kingland soy creamcheese
vanilla or other flavour custard powder (185g)
1/2 bottle cadbury's caramello ice cream topping (or other flavour)
1/4 cup soy milk, or more depending on desired consistency.
Method:
using an electric beater blend the cream cheese and pudding mix together (just throw the mix in dry dont make it up), blend in caramello topping until smooth. Add soy milk until consistentcy is smooth but not too heavy, not too runny.
pour into base & set in fridge for an hour (or freezer overnight, then defrost, I find it tends to make the cheesey bit a bit firmer)
cut & eat.
you can use other flavours other than caramel, add fruit etc
Hope you enjoy!
I usually just eat all natural peanut butter, but i've always noticed the different kinds of nut butters/spreads in the health food isles. I am curious what your favorite is or which has the most health benefits.. i.e there are a few soynut butters that have very little fat, but the fat in peanut butter is good fat..[right?] Thanks for any input- I really appreciate it!
Yep. The fat in peanutbutter is the good fat.
I like the brand Adams. It's natural and pretty easy to find where I live.
It's vegan, which means it's vegetarian which means there's nothing unheathy in it. -- my guy trying to explain vegan junkfood.
I buy peanut butter at the local health store where they put the peanuts through the blender to produce either smooth or chunky while I wait. Nothing added, and after eating their peanut butter for quite some time, I couldn't go back to commercially produced stuff.
Eve
I tend to use peanut butter in cooking (satay, cookies etc) and cashew butter on toast/with a spoon/my fingers.

At the moment it's all those lovely winter vegetables: Brussels sprouts, swede, parsnips, sweet potatoes. In any possible variation. Oh, I love winter!
I also LOVE Lebkuchen - that is, the proper, homemade stuff, traditional recipe from my grandma (we have a great history of making the most amazing Christmasy biscuits in Germany), not the nasty dry supermarket ones.
