BBC Vegan Xmas

BBC - Food - Vegetarian and vegan - Vegan Christmas menus:

Tasty-looking recipes (I will never, ever, use the word "yummy." (Whoops) I despise it.) I was in Integral Yoga yesterday and saw some UnTurkeys for sale, in 2 sizes, no less. They looked much bigger than the Tofurkys. Plus they featured "Crispy soy skin," which is a little disconcerting if you think about it too much. Anyone (you in the back there) ever try these? A vegetarian friend of ours says that Tofurky is "horrible." I'm fine with fake meats, though I know a lot of vegans think they send the wrong message (see "vegan purity" post above.) I'm not looking for philosophical debate, this is strictly on the merits.

Comments

We cooked up an unturkey as a pre-thanksgiving warmup a few weeks back. We didn't plan ahead enough to do the recommended 12 hours thawing... but I liked it. I definitely prefer it to the tofurkey.

And the crispy soy skin: it's yuba. Yummy. Whoops.
