Can't We Find Something Better Than Beef?

[JustGeorge]

My fav. was 'kadhi' (black grams) but it does not go well with my digestion now. So, it is spiced rice gruel with sliced almonds - Badian Chawal, goes well with deep-fried potatoes (dum alu, goes even better with meat kofta, but still).
Badian or Varian (Punjabi) are dried balls of heavily spiced black gram powder.
It is not what I described, but looks very similar.

Now you've made me hungry.... that sounds delicious!

I haven't had dum aloo in a long time... if it wasn't 1am, I'd go downstairs and make some....

I know I'm biased, but...

There's gotta be something better.

I busted out my Albanian cookbook today and made a wonderful macaroni recipe that was listed in it. Pretty much like your standard oven variant mac&cheeses, only with feta and béchamel sauce in the mix. Yum.

What non-beef meals have you enjoyed lately?

Cheese enchiladas. Yum.

A rabbit stew with bacon, mustard and tarragon. I make that quite regularly now. One rabbit is enough for 4.

I also very much like a vegetable and red lentil soup I make, with savoy cabbage and sliced of smoked Polish sausage in it.

And then there's the saltimbocca, made with beaten-out pork fillet instead of veal, prosciutto and sage leaves from the garden. I find that dish for some reason brings out the flavour of red wine particularly well.

Plenty of non-beef things are excellent........

Veggie pizza. I make a pretty healthy and tasty version that I would choose over even a hamburger any day.

I could join you in that, so long as I'm allowed to put on some anchovies.

Locust meat separated mechanically. You get the largest and best tasting insects that you can, possibly GMO insects bred to taste a certain way. The meat should ideally be so well separated that it requires no chemicals or bleaching, just a little washing and cooking to taste good, guaranteed not to have legs or any shells in it. You then give it a clever name like Huchu. "Have you tried Huchu, yet?"

Just had a cheese and tomato sandwich for lunch. Nice.

Yesterday we were in the city and had goats cheese salad for lunch

And last night, i made specially for our vegetarian contingent, spinach, mushrooms, pine nuts and graded parmesan roulard.

Hmm. Cheese 3 meals running, I'll be looking like this soon..

Tonight will be chicken curry.

I don't often eat beef but when i do its a very rare steak or minced.

Or diced and very slow cooked in a casserole

I'll just let @Wu Wei live.

Tough talk for a sissy meat bag hiding in his van

 

[Revoltingest]

Could always eat a cousin.... or a mother-in-law, no one says it has to @Wu Wei specifically.

He's the only bear on RF.
(I think he ate the others.)

 

[Wu Wei]

I've heard that @Wu Wei will cause trichinosis.

lets put this in perspective.....first I'm not a black bear, I'm a brown bear...second you would be the tiny little pansy meat bag in the red shirt

 

[Daemon Sophic]

My wife and I have been meat-free for over 7 years now, although my daughter used to like normal dead cow cheeseburgers; once she tried these….

she hasn’t had cow meat since then. She says these taste better.
You can break these up and use them in a number of “beef” dishes.


PS - these are better than “Impossible Burgers”.

 

[Revoltingest]

Bear should be cooked well done.

No @Wu Wei tartar, eh.

You'd keep the tiny pansy fed for a long time.
And there'd be a rug too.

Better a live sissy than a dead meal for a bear.

I'm brave on the internet.
It's where you'll be BBQed.

Mine is the live sissy.

I still remember the selling of imitation human flavored meat for awhile. Fine dining for the discriminating cannibal.
