question (and i admit that it's probably very silly):
does some of this soy stuff taste like it's soy?
and i don't want an answer from people who have been eating soy for years
and years. i just started drinking soy milk because real
milk is starting to irratate my stomach. anyway, it really doesn't taste
that great, although i'm slowly starting to get used to it. i'd like to
start eating more of a vegetarian diet just because it seems healthier, but
how and where should i start?
and what's a good tasting soy milk . . . one that i can use for latte's
and such
ken

Vegetarianism
Hi,
I live in a house with six other people,
and we take turns cooking meals
that
we eat together most nights a
week. Among those six people, we have one
vegan,
one person
deathly allergic to eggs, one person who is both lactose
intolerant
and
alergic to gluten, one person who's committed to organic food, and
one
person who is allergic to seafood (including some kinds of
seaweed). And
you
know what? We eat like *royalty*.
Last night we had latkes with
applesauce,
steamed red cabbage, a lettuce
salad, and a cheesecake for dessert. Yes, a
vegan cheesecake.
We have hearty stews, tasty desserts, casseroles, and an
amazing variety of
salads. Curried tofu with tomatoes and cauliflower.
Thai
coconut
soup with mushrooms. Nut and mushroom based shepherd's
pie.
Roasted
potatoes with garlic and rosemary. Chocolate mousse
with raspberries and
soy
ice cream. Lasagna with kalamata olives,
artichoke hearts, and tofu
"ricotta".
Lettuce with sauteed pears, dried
cranberries and walnuts with a raspberry
vinagrette dressing. Rice
and raisins mixed with pumpkin innards and baked
inside the pumpkin.
And that's just scratching the surface.
Anyone who thinks vegetarian
food is bland or limited has simply not been
trying. You can go a
long way with just spices. I took a package of frozen
corn, put it in
a pan in which I had sauteed some garlic in a little oil
with
cumin,
coriander, cayenne, turmeric, and rosemary, and then mixed it up
and
let
it steam, and it was deeeee-licious! Another fun vegetable
sauce is
vinegar,
honey, red pepper flakes, and garlic. A party
for the taste buds.
I, myself, would not call myself a vegetarian
because I do eat meat when at
restaurants or over at other people's houses,
but there's nothing inferior
about vegan cooking, I can promise you
that.
Okay, now I'm hungry again. Dang it. :-)
