Also, I have come around to having chili with rice or sweet potatoes.
Where I'm from we used to get it like this:
-
Sounds rad Nhatt. Just wondering if there's a reason for chilli powder instead of fresh chillies?
Also the wheat beer. Wut?
I have nothing against fresh chillies, and I do throw them in a day or so in, but initially they don't coat the tofu as well or hold the spice as well as the powder.
As far as the beer, trust. Really. Let that cook in for a day or two, and a little extra lime at the end. Perfect.

BTW, if you haven't been to Cookies and Scream in Camden yet, then I will cry tears on your behalf well into the afternoon.

And possibly meat. It's from google image, I just wanted to show off the sourdough bowl.

Both Indian and Mexican cuisine can use both in the same recipe. One gives a background heat, the other adds warmth to specific parts of the food and also gives more distinctive flavour. Can be interesting to prepare something with whole chillies in the pan but take them out before serving.

All this talk of chilli has got me in the mood for chilli, think Ill see what happens when I add cocoa to my spice mix this time.
-
I saw this the other day, I find it really confusing... I ask why...
-
Because maybe it tastes nice, but no animals were killed making it.
Its also a source a fibre, contains less than 3% fat, and its a source of protein. So i hear anyway.
does it taste nice? fake blood?

No stranger than veggie haggis which is crazy delicious!

Can anyone reccomend any vegan places of interest in North London? Restaurants, shops etc. Me and a friend (also vegan) are moving in together somewhere near Finsbury Park. Neither of us has lived in London before so any help would be useful! I suppose getting kicked out by my gf has some perks because Bournemouth is a vegan wasteland!

Not exactly north London but VX(Vegan cross/secret society of vegans) is in Kings Cross on Caledonian road. Theres also a planet organic supermarket in Angel which is good for vegan foods (bit on the pricey side though).

Some places to get you started:
The Loving Hut in Holloway Road (used to be Peking Palace)
Pogo Cafe in Clarence Road, E5
VX, as mentioned
Plenty of vegetarian places with good vegan stuff, of course.

Hey there,
I don't use a lot of recipes, but I have extremely strong feelings about chilli.
It's important to fry the onion, garlic and crumbled tofu and your personal choice of spices (I use chili powder, oregano, coco powder, cumin and salt) together before you even think of adding a liquid
Once you have cooked the tofu down until it is boarder-line crunchy, you can slap it in the slow cooker with black beans (if in a can just chuck in the sauce) stock, a few tomatoes, a handful of fresh coriander and half a cup of coffee. In the summer I sometimes replace the coffee with a wheat beer.
Since you are using a slow cooker any sharp flavours from the coffee or the coriander will dissipate over the next few days anyways.
Things that have no place in my chili-
kidney beans
vegetables
chickpeas
I hope that helps?
