[Cherry]

Fantastic! Really funny

There was a culinary disasters thread here somewhere which was also pretty good. The image of Puffin's mum's cake bouncing down the garden path is still with me!

My favourite vegan food product of the day is soyatoo quirty cream. I had some hot chocolate with it for breakfast, and have just had some on sticky toffee pudding and strawberries. Yum.

[Troutina]

Giant Jaffa cake sounds amazing!!
That made me laugh so much: "It tasted like spaz" hahahahaha.

[Tiggerwoo]

Aww bless her...... I would have eaten it even though it did fall to bits. All goes down the same way!

[feral]

lol that jaffa cake girl sounds like a couple of my friends.. a group of us sat round a picnic table in the Welsh mountains last year and split a couple of bars of green & blacks, the munching was accompanies by mmmmms and aaaahhhs, twas quite a bonding experience

I had some of that today with pineapple & paw paw after dinner, wasn't bad at all.

What a pity! A really good try, much better than I'd do.

There's an advert on at the moment for jaffa cakes boasting that they only have 1g of fat in them. The thing is that I checked a pack, (not mine I hasten to add) they have 1.3g of fat in them and each cake only weighs 12g so that makes them more than 10% fat.

You should! But make sure you make it giant enough for everybody to have a peice!... or at least me

[Blueshark]

Me want. Make it massive

[steve_pattenden]

That sounded amazing! It started off really well. I had high hopes only to have them dashed at the end. Parts of the Jaffa Cake looked like the real thing and particularly when it was in its whole form! I love Jaffa cakes but when she said that it contained "chickens periods" and things it kind of deterred me!
If you put it like that! LoL. Shall look forward to many more disasters to make me laugh like the one in the link!
Thanks for sharing it, I've sent it on to my brother in Somerset and I know it'll make him laugh too!

A few examples;

[feral]

ROFLMAO and this one, it says they family are members of a Baptist Church!

Actually I took that down in case it offends some sensitive soul, but for the rest of you it's the lesbian one on the list!

[feral]

Very, very strange person.

[Mr Flibble]

LOL, did anyone take a look at the rest of her website?

yes, but I was too polite to post about it

[Cherry]

Possibly slightly disturbed, very reminiscent of Edward Monkton, and some of it's rather lovely.

I like the badger in the bath. And the flower climbers.

[Tigerlily]

Nice house!

I've made vegan jaffa cakes. You just make a vegan sponge mixture and put dessert spoon sized blobs on greaseproof paper. Cook at gas mark 4 for about 10 minutes or untill golden brown. When they've cooled add a teaspoonful of orange marmalade (without the peel) to the centre of the cooked sponge and add a thin coating of your favourite melted vegan chocolate.

I keep trying to make a vegan lemon meringue pie using egg replacer but without success so far.

[lozza]

hahah thats such an ace awesome idea!

too bad it was unsuccessful.

I keep trying to make a vegan lemon meringue pie using egg replacer but without success so far.

I think I saw a vegan lemon pie filling in the supermarket. No use without the meringue part so I didn't buy it.

[Jane M]

Here's a meringue ...but it's meant to be served un-cooked.

Vegan Meringue Topping
6 tsp. Egg Replacer (see glossary) 4 Tbs. water 2 Tbs. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla

Mix Egg Replacer and water together. Stir in sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff, about 10 minutes. Spoon onto chilled pie just before serving. Makes about 1 cup. PER 1 1/2 TABLESPOON SERVING: 20 CAL.; 0 PROT.; 0 FAT; 5G CARB.; 0 CHOL.; 1 MG SOD.; 0 FIBER.

yet another version:

BRYANNA’S VEGAN “MERINGUE” TOPPING:
1 and 1/3 tsp. agar powder (or 2 T. + 2 tsp. agar flakes) mixed with 1/4 c. cold water
3/4 c. cold water
1/2 c. EnerG egg replacer powder (only this one will whip up sufficiently)
1/2 c. light unbleached or white beet sugar
4 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon extract

Mix the agar and water in a small saucepan and let sit for about 5 minutes. Stir over medium heat until it simmers, then allow to simmer 1 minute.

In a deep medium bowl, beat the egg replacer and 3/4 c. water in a small, deep bowl, with electric mixer on HI. Use a small or large stand mixer, a handheld elcectric mixer or egg beater, or a beater attachment (whire whip type) for a food processor or immersion blender, You have to beat it for for 12 minutes (yes, 12!!), or until thick, white, and forms peaks. Beat in the sugar, vanilla and lemon extract, then the cooked agar mixture. Beat well to distribute the agar evenly. When smooth and glossy, cool it in the refrigerate. It will firm up. Beat it again briefly, then pile the mixture around the edge of the cooled pie (remove any paper or plastic covering ), leaving the edge of the crust and the center showing. Make little “peaks” in the "meringue" with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate until ready to serve.(This will keep only a day.)

Thanks for that Jane M, I'll give them both a try

[Cherry]

Lol - Yeh It's actually broccoli, not parsley, but I love broccoli too
I could ask for permission, but don't want to give any green-veg-haters on the forum the creeps, so maybe best not to

Wow! Has anyone tried that meringue?

I think it would be totally worth making a vegan lemon meringue pie filling, Insubordination. With a digestive biscuit base. Nice Especially warm.
