I love me some vegan cheesesteak, but they do take a while to soak/bake/fry up the “steak” (tofu). I made this one some months back. Calzones also bring me back to my former years of greasy takeaway. What about all of you?

    chkn nuggies! personally i’ve never found a superior version to the classic morningstar ones. slop on some hot or steak sauce. surprised to see how much effort everyone’s putting into their comfort foods. for me it has to be minimal/no effort to be comfort food.

      I love nuggets! My case of tofu is coming in tomorrow, so I might go ahead and make some. I freeze the tofu once for texture, slice them up, boil them in “chicken” broth concentrate, then bread and deep fry them in coconut oil.

    For me it’s simply Burger and Fries. And I’m really flexible on the Burgers, no matter if tempeh patties, black beans, pulled mushrooms or a beyond burger. (There is no impossible burger where I live)

    mashed potatoes, vegan mac and cheese, pizza, and tacos.

    Although I am pretty content eating smoothies, oatmeal, salads, soups, and stir-fry most days.

      Those are all things that I am craving right now. When my partner and I make pizzas or calzones, that requires me making cashew mozzarella. We’ll be ordering some more cashews soon enough, but don’t have them now… and I’m jonesing more than I care to admit.

        You might know this but often those intense cravings are often your body saying it is needing a nutrient and is trying to convince you to feed it. You might just try eating some nuts or some fat to help make it more bearable.

          This is excellent advice (though, to be honest, my current food cravings are fairly cannabis-related).

          It took me a while to develop that sense of linking desire for things in food (fats, salt, etc.) with the body’s need for those things themselves, but once I did it made life a lot easier.

      Damn! Unfortunately I wasted some chickpea flour recently (I had bought it years ago, and it went kind of stale and weird). I hadn’t found many uses for it, but I may have to try some socca. It sounds amazing, and I’m amazed that I never heard of it.

        Glad to share the good word! I love chickpea flour. Another great use for it is Panisse, which is similar but a bit more work to make than socca

          Aaaand that’s another thing to add to my to-do list. Chickpeas are amazing.

    New York Pizza’s vegan shoarma pizza, absolutely love that one! It doesn’t help that there’s a location a 5 min walk from my home. (I’m in the Netherlands btw, don’t know if they carry that one elsewhere.)

      Never had it. I was already tempted to come to the Netherlands to see some of the urban infrastructure (I’m a nerd), but now I’ll have to add the pizza to the list of things to look at and try if I ever go.

      Ooh, yes… eggplant. I’ve been craving some Eggplant Parmesan. Or maybe I’ll put fried eggplant into my next Indian dish. I’ve made pho, but have limited experience with it.

        I kinda only like eggplant as a fish replacement. Somehow it tastes fishy for me, even without adding any algae.

          I know what you mean. Not quite fishy per se, but something sort of similar. I have good memories associated with it. :3
