The Vegan Thread

For some reason the indie press and the band's fans are willing to overlook the Nazi posturing. It's been reported on and off for several years, but no one seems to give a shit. They're rich hipster kids that want metal credibility. They suck and their popularity is baffling.

Truth be told, I'd had no idea about their fascist flirting until I did some reading up after the gig - but had liked their first album. After the first song, we were saying he was like Donald Trump's favourite black metal singer - the blackshirt attire and straight-arm gesticulations were pretty noxious.

Glad we saw the support band though - Youth Code were ace. Like a female-fronted Skinny Puppy.

Drinking coffee black forces you to only drink good coffee :)

Second this!

Can you share a recipe for your saus rolls? They look good

There was a Sikh Tabla band that did a lot of the entertainment, they used to soundcheck on tradition instruments with Motorhead / AC/DC / Metalica songs.

lol

They suck and their popularity is baffling.

Also this!

It was the happy pear(annoying YouTube twins) recipe.

Jus-rol shortcrust pastry
1 can beans(I used canelini)
100g nuts
Tsp oil
Tamari
Spices
Mash the lot in a blender til it looks like sausagemeat, cut pastry block in half, make 2 big rolls, cut up and bake.

Made cashew curry for Mrs c00ps the other day - matched my shoes...
(but was yum nonetheless)

Apparently, this needs pandan leaf. Anyone know of somewhere that might sell it? I'd like to try at least once.

Thai Smile in Hammersmith is a good bet if your that way

Cheers - im trying that.

looks tasty!

I've not seen or heard of Pandan leaves... One ingredient I always try and keep an eye out for are fresh curry leaves. Really distinct flavour and like fresh bay leaves can really enhance curries / sauces. Barely ever see them anywhere though!

My sister gave me a plant as a Christmas present a few years back, along with a kaffir lime. It's still going, despite being neglected for weeks at a time.

From here, I think: https://citruscentre.co.uk/
Edit - just had a thought - not sure what's in their fertiliser (fish/bone meal?) - so you might have to check

Curry recipe resembled the one from here, I think, as I have it written in a ragged little note book (substitute the ghee for oil, obvs + mine has mustard seeds too): http://www.peterkuruvita.com/recipes/recipe-2/cashew-nut-curry/

Thanks - will try, as it's not far from work

Of course, should grow my own! Thanks for the link

That's nice and easy. Might get my son to make those with me later.

Mine came out a touch dry but a tiny dash more oil would fix it.

Got some shortbread in the oven, suspect I needed more flour but will see how it turns out...
Trying to decide what else to make for my lunchbox next week.

Edit- def needed more flour, then I dropped half of it on the floor :(

Recipe please

Her YouTube channel has been a main source of meal ideas so far.
We couldn't be arsed with the ranch dip, they were saucy enough with the post-batter coating. Genuinely fucking delicious.

I made my first lasagne since going vegan last August. Cashew Bechamel is a piece of piss, and used TVP mince in the sauce which was otherwise my classic recipe. Fuck me, better than meat+cheese lasagne by a mile.
